Abstract
A VOC treatment apparatus is provided for treating substantially opaque VOCs and comprises a processing chamber () in which VOCs are treated; and a solar energy introducing device (). The solar energy introducing device () comprises a tubular structure having a first end located external to the processing chamber () and having a first inlet () through which concentrated sunlight is received and a second inlet () through which a flow of substantially optically transmittant gas is received. The solar energy introducing device () has a second end () that opens into the processing chamber () and terminates in a nozzle providing an outlet for the substantially optically transmittant gas and the concentrated sunlight. In use the optically transmittant gas exits the second end of the device in a jet to create an optically transmittant zone in the substantially opaque VOCs within the processing chamber (), in which zone the sunlight can travel.
