The potential for material processing by microwave energy
This paper presents the potential applications for material processing by microwave energy which is electromagnetic waves that penetrates material and cause its molecules to rotate and generate heat. In this paper, potential uses of microwave energy in iron and steel making processes will be discussed in detail. Actually, microwave energy has been in use for various applications for over half century. One of the most well known applications is drying and cooking of food. Currently, industrial uses of microwave energy include direct-reduced iron making, wood processing, sintering, coke making, and so on. And moreover, CO2 and CH4 can be decomposed by super heating effect of microwave energy which can also be called as high temperature plasma furnace. In conventional heating processes, the materialpsilas surface is heated first and then the heat moves inward, while the material is heated the entire volume at about the same time, in microwave heating processes. Microwave heating method can be used in addition to conventional heating techniques to enhance the reaction of the material processing.
Optimization of bioresource material from oil palm trunk core drying using microwave radiation; a response surface methodology application.
In this study optimization of drying oil palm trunk core lumber (OPTCL) biomass using microwave radiation was reported. Optimizing of the drying conditions using microwave, avoid burning, shrinkage and increasing the permeability of OPT was aimed to develop a new value added material. A set of experiments was designed by central composite design using response surface methodology (RSM) to statistically evaluate the findings. Three independent process variables including time (2-10 min), sample weight (300-1000 g) and input power (660-3300 W) were studied under the given conditions designed by Design Expert software. The results showed the effectiveness of microwave drying in reducing the time and better removal of moisture as compared to that of oven drying with no significant changes. Employing optimum conditions at 6.89 min of time with a microwave power set at 4 for a sample of 1000 g, predicting 14.62% of moisture content.
