Carbothermic Reduction by Microwave Heating

Dielectric properties and carbothermic reduction of zinc oxide and zinc ferrite by microwave heating

This paper aims to study the dielectric properties and carbothermic reduction of zinc oxide (zincite, ZnO) and zinc ferrite (franklinite, ZnFe2O4) by microwave heating. To achieve this aim, the dielectric properties were measured with an open-ended coaxial method to understand the behaviour of the samples under microwave irradiation. The effects of microwave power, duration time and sample mass...

Histological fixation by microwave heating.

Microwave heating

Microwave heating is a process within a family of electroheat techniques, such as induction, radio frequency, direct resistance or infra-red heating, all of which utilise specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These processes supplement, and in specific cases totally replace, conventional heating or drying systems used in industry. This is because some conventional systems are very bul...

Inorganic Syntheses Assisted by Microwave Heating

This Special Issue on " Inorganic Syntheses Assisted by Microwave Heating " represents one of the few fully dedicated issues on inorganic microwave synthesis published by any international scientific journal and it features five papers and one review article. Microwave irradiation has been used for many years to accelerate chemical reactions. The very first application of 2.45 GHz microwaves in...

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...
