“…Jones, Lelyveld, Mavrofidis, Kingman and Miles [5] concluded that microwave heating offers a number of advantages over conventional heating such as: non-contact heating, energy transfer, no heat transfer, rapid heating, material selective heating, volumetric heating, quick start-up and stopping, heating starting from the interior of the material body, higher level of safety and automation, and no waste gas. Thus, a lot of research has been conducted in the fields of pre-treatment [6,7], drying [8,9], roasting [10,11], reduction [12] and the leaching strengthening of the processes by microwave energy [13,14].…”
