“…Potential Applications A microwave incinerator ("burning processor") has been developed by Matsushita of Japan for reducing food wastes from commercial sources (eg, restaurants, hospitals, high-rise buildings) to ash "at the place where it is generated" [4]. The compact system uses a 900-watt magnetron and is divided into two chambers: a primary combustion chamber that uses microwave heating to dry and decompose the wastes; and, a secondary combustion chamber to oxidize and burn the off-gases generated during primary combustion.…”

Dielectric heating technologies (microwave and radio-frequency, RF) bring unique capabilities to the processing of hazardous wastes. Potential opportunities for using these techniques can be described by classifying and matching waste streams to the particular features of dielectric heating. Microwave and RF applications for processing hazardous waste are at various stages of development and include: solvent recovery, regeneration of activated carbon, pyrolysis of rubber tires, soil remediation, and disinfection of hospital wastes. Other solutions to environmental problems can include the replacement of conventional fossil-fired processes (eg, RF-assisted post-baking of biscuits) and microwave heating of catalyst substrate materil for automotive emission control. Examples of dielectric heating systems that are processing hazardous waste are used to illustrate the benefits of these technologies and to characterize future opportunities.

In the past several years there has been an explosive growth in the use of microwave energy for the processing of a host of materials. Microwave energy provides rapid internal heating which results in an overall reduction in the processing time. The important features of microwave processing are described, as well as several applications.Microwave energy has been used by a few groups for the joining of alumina, mullite, silicon nitride and silicon carbide. The work performed by these groups will be reviewed. Typically, a single mode microwave applicator has been used to join ceramics at temperatures ranging between 1250°C - 1800°C. Microwave joining of ceramics was achieved in a matter of minutes, in contrast to hours reported by conventional methods. The strength of the joints was equal to or greater than the as-received materials. Joining of specimens of sintered silicon carbide (Hexoloy ™ ) using interlayers, and direct joining of reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) to itself and Hexoloy™ has been accomplished recently. Both single mode and multimode microwave applicators were used and larger specimens of RBSC having complex shapes were joined using hybrid heating. The paper describes microwave joining apparatus, techniques and results.
