title: PROPHIS: parabolic trough-facility for organic photochemical syntheses in sunlight.
abstract: The PROPHIS facility is an efficient tool for the synthesis of chemicals with moderately concentrated sunlight on a semi-technical scale. The feasibility of selected solar photochemical reaction classes--including heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions--has been demonstrated using various set-ups of the plant. This paper outlines the potential of solar photochemistry by representative examples.
