Heating rate of granular inorganic materials by microwave radiation

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...

Microwave heating processes involving carbon materials

Carbon materials are, in general, very good absorbents of microwaves, i.e., they are easily heated by microwave radiation. This characteristic allows them to be transformed by microwave heating, giving rise to new carbons with tailored properties, to be used as microwave receptors, in order to heat other materials indirectly, or to act as a catalyst and microwave receptor in different heterogen...

Drilling into Hard Non-Conductive Materials by Localized Microwave Radiation

The paper describes a novel method of drilling into hard non-conductive materials by localized microwave energy (US patent 6,114,676). The Microwave Drill implementation may utilize a conventional 2.45GHz magnetron, to form a portable and relatively simple drilling tool. The drilling head consists of a coaxial guide and a near-field concentrator. The latter focuses the microwave radiation into ...

Spin-Crossover Materials towards Microwave Radiation Switches

Microwave electromagnetic radiation that ranges from one meter to one millimetre wavelengths is finding numerous applications for wireless communication, navigation and detection, which makes materials able to tune microwave radiation getting widespread interest. Here we offer a new way to tune GHz frequency radiation by using spin-crossover complexes that are known to change their various phys...
