Microwave heating in heterogeneous catalysis
Modelling and design of rectangular traveling-wave microwave reactor
Microwave irradiation can intensify catalytic chemistry by selective and controlled microwave-catalytic packed-bed interaction. However, turning it to reality from laboratory to practical applications is hindered by challenges in the reactor design and scale-up. Here, we prese ...
Microwave heating presents a potentially green alternative for energy supply to chemical and catalytic reactors as it can be based on the electricity from renewable sources. The Reverse Traveling Microwave Reactor (RTMR) is a novel heterogeneous catalytic reactor concept, base ...
Coaxial traveling-wave microwave reactors
Design challenges and solutions
Microwave chemistry applications have been investigated for more than three decades. Contrary to common cavity-based microwave applicators, the traveling-wave microwave reactor has the potential to enable the process scale-up, a better coupling of microwave energy with microwa ...
Following the global trend towards increased energy demand together with requirements for low greenhouse gas emissions, Adaptable Reactors for Resource- and Energy-Efficient Methane Valorisation (ADREM) focused on the development of modular reactors that can upgrade methane-ri ...
Numerical analysis of microwave heating cavity
Combining electromagnetic energy, heat transfer and fluid dynamics for a NaY zeolite fixed-bed
Three-dimensional mathematical model was developed for a rectangular TE 10n microwave heating ...
The paper discusses the currents status and future perspectives of the utilization of microwaves, as a selective and locally controlled heating method, in heterogeneous catalytic flow reactors. Various factors related to the microwave-catalyst interaction and the design of mic ...
