Up to now, reported attempts of multiphysics modeling of high-temperature microwave processing have been limited to fairly idealized models. In this contribution, an original accurate computer model enabling virtual experimentation in microwave processing of zicronia is presented. The model, implementing fully coupled FDTD electromagnetic and thermal algorithms, uses detailed data on temperatur...

The increasing requirements for the environmental protection have resulted in the search for more effective, inexpensive and ecologically safe solutions. Zeolite is one of the alternatives, which due to their peculiar structure are widely used for various environmental processes. The demand for an easily accessible and inexpensive source of zeolite has raised interest in synthesis of these mine...

Microwave photonics can be generally defined as the study of high-speed photonic devices operating at microwave or millimeter wave frequencies and their use in microwave or photonic systems. In this multidisciplinary field at the interface between microwave techniques, ultra fast electronics and photonic technologies, typical investigations include, for example, high-speed and microwave signal ...

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting detectors capable of counting single photons and measuring their energy in the UV, optical, and near-IR. MKIDs feature intrinsic frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) at microwave frequencies, allowing the construction and readout of large arrays. Due to the microwave FDM, MKIDs do not require the complex cryogenic multiplexing el...

Microwave processing is emerging as an innovative and highly effective material processing method offering many advantages over conventional methods, especially for sintering applications. It is recognized for its various advantages, such as: time and energy saving, rapid heating rates, considerably reduced processing cycle time and temperature, fine microstructures and improved mechanical prop...

A microwave process can be utilized to stabilize the copper ions in heavy metal sludge. The effects of microwave processing on stabilization of heavy metal sludge were studied as a function of additive, power, process time, reaction atmosphere, cooling gas, organic substance, and temperature. Copper leach resistance increased with addition of aluminum metal powder, with increased microwave powe...
