A continuous conveyor-belt processing concept using microwave heating was developed and evaluated. Four hydrocarbon-contaminated soils were used as model feedstocks, and the degree of organic removal was assessed against the power and energy input t...

Microwave processing of cement and concrete materials - towards an industrial reality? (2015)
Journal Article
Buttress, A., Jones, D., & Kingman, S. (2015). Microwave processing of cement and concrete materials - towards an industrial reality?. Cement and Concrete Research, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cemconres.2014.11.002

Each year a substantial body of literature is published on the use of microwaves to process cement and concrete materials. Yet to date, very few if any have lead the realisation of a commercial scale industrial system and is the context under which t...
