The results of examining the feasibility of enhancement of the toluene steam dealkylation reaction by microwave irradiation of the reaction medium are presented. It has been found that the most likely cause of the positive effect of microwave radiation on the reaction rate is an increase in the preexponential factor of the Arrhenius equation for the temperature dependence of the reaction rate. This effect is presumably due to an increase in the active surface area of the catalyst formed by the microwave assisted thermal treatment.

This article shows main principles and presents ideas described in the scientific and technical literature, on the mechanism of interaction of microwave radiation with a solid phase materials, which were used as a basis of creation of new perspective, energy efficient and environmentally safe technologies of preparation of heterogeneous catalysts for the reactions which were carried out under the influence of electromagnetic radiation of microwave radiation. Author's research results confirm possibilities of practical use of proposed method of hydrothermal oxidation of industrial low-dispersing of aluminum powders with presence of bulk phase of Al(ОН)3•nH2O, with further thermal treatment in microwave field for acquisition of armored А1/А1 2 О 3 compositions, which effectively consume energy of microwave radiation. Due to the textured characteristics and thermo-transforming ability, synthesized components can be used as potential universal bearings of catalysts for reactions stimulated by electromagnetic radiation of (2.45 GHz) microwave frequency.
