Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles Synthesized by Microwave Heating for Hybrid Solar Cell Applications

Mobile Asbestos Decontamination by Microwave Hybrid Heating

Within the European project "New Safe and Cost Effective Techniques Against Asbestos Risks" different methods for decontamination of asbestos in asbestos containing wastes, abbreviated as ACW from building industry were investigated. A mobile asbestos decontamination unit was developed, aiming at the complete disintegration of asbestos fibres on-site. The process is based on a chemo-thermal tre...

Factors Effecting the Crystallization of Zeolites Synthesized by Microwave Heating

Microwave heating has been shown to influence various inorganic chemical reactions. Substantial reductions in the synthesis time for materials have been reported (1). Additionally, product characteristics and quality of materials synthesized by microwave heating are different from those synthesized under conventional heating methods. The mechanism which results in microwave enhancement is not c...

Phase Transformation of VO2 Nanoparticles Assisted by Microwave Heating

The microwave assisted synthesis nowadays attracts a great deal of attention. Monoclinic phase VO2 (M) was prepared from NH4VO3 and H2C2O4 · 2H2O by a rapid microwave assisted technique. The synthesis parameters, microwave irradiation time, microwave power, and calcinations temperature were systematically varied and their influences on the structure and morphology were evaluated. The microwave ...
