Microwave ignited combustion of Coal with maize slush and waste cardboard in modified Tube furnace

Abstract

The microwave heating applications in various fields and materials could be managed, such as contaminated soil remediation, waste processing, minerals processing and activated carbon regeneration. Microwave heating of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by synthetical heating susceptors in microwave. The microwave combustion technology could be improved for lignite and biomass in the packed bed systems. This may include few difficulties associated with the scaling up of laboratory units to industrial process depending on material dielectric properties. The combustion process by microwave may have specific advantages over conventional methods with cost of heating.
