Claim 7:
8. A regenerating reactor system for regenerating a sorbent of gas in a gas capture system, wherein the gas capture system is configured to capture said gas by recirculating the sorbent between a gas capturing system and the regenerating reactor system, wherein the regenerating reactor system comprises:
a sorbent input for receiving a solid sorbent to be regenerated, wherein, when the regenerating system is in use, the sorbent is a sorbent of carbon dioxide gas;
a combustor for generating heat by combusting a fuel with an oxidising agent in the presence of a catalyst;
a moving bed reactor for regenerating the sorbent by using the heat generated by the combustor to indirectly heat the sorbent so that the sorbent releases carbon dioxide gas;
a sorbent output for outputting the regenerated sorbent; and
a gas output for outputting the released carbon dioxide gas;
wherein, when the system is in use, the received sorbent comprises a metal carbonate and the regenerated sorbent comprises a metal oxide, and wherein the moving bed reactor comprises:
a plurality of tubes that provide the generated heat to the moving bed reactor;
the tubes are arranged in a plurality of horizontally aligned staggered layers; and
the sorbent travels around the outside of the tubes as it moves from the sorbent input to the sorbent output.
