| Title: Microwave Metallurgy | |
| Abstract: Microwave metallurgy is a new metallurgy technology which has been developed recently and now is an attractive advanced inter-disciplinary field. Taking advantages of microwave heating, it is possible to develop new metallurgy technique and process, which cannot be realized under conventional heating method, reforming some traditional metallurgy process and technology, upgrading deep-processing level of metallurgical products, improving the product structure and finally achieving the efficient, energy-saving, and environmental-friendly metallurgical process. It can be expected that the development of microwave metallurgy will play an increasingly important role in the future metallurgical technology, so the microwave metallurgy is included in the application guides for both National Science Foundations and 'Eleven-Five' 863 plans (National High Technology Research and Development Program). Within the research fields, (i) The temperature-rising properties of many ores in microwave field have been measured; the temperature rising equations have been derived and calculated; the temperature rising process has been quantized and finally data of several ores' temperature rising characteristics have been acquired. (ii) Microwave drying of various kinds of metallurgical ores and metallurgical chemical products have been performed; microwave calcining of various kinds of metallurgical intermediate products has been performed, and thermodynamics and kinetics of the reaction system and process for metallurgical reduction and leaching under microwave fields have been studied. Thus, the following research areas have been formed: ① New technologies of microwave drying ② New technologies of microwave calcining ③ New technologies of microwave-intensification oxidation- reduction ④ New technologies of microwave-intensification leaching ⑤ Other new technologies of microwave metallurgy ⑥ Theories of the interaction between microwave field and metallurgical materials | |
