Desenvolvimento de um concentrador solar para produção de cal

Abstract

Lime (lime) is a chemical widely used in many industrial sectors, such as steel, metallurgical, sanitary, among others. Carbonates are the main raw materials for the production of this chemical by heating it to promote thermal decomposition in carbon dioxide and lime. Much of the cost of producing lime is related to spent thermal energy (electric or fossil fuels) to promote furnace heating by a few hundred degrees Celsius. Thus, this work of course completion aims to promote this heating using sunlight (renewable, clean and abundant energy) by concentrating on Fresnel type lenses.
