The main objective of this project is to design and construct a solar heating system that can produce useful materials such as charcoal, activated carbon from cellulosic waste. The heating system consists of three main modules which are the solar concentrator, solar tracking system and the frame that holds the two systems. The waste materials turn into charcoal by undergoing pyrolysis which is a thermal decomposition reaction. Our built system operates fully on solar power without any external source of electricity.
We have built a solar heating system for producing useful materials from biowaste. Our built system operates fully on solar power without any external source of electricity.
