Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) which is accumulated in large amounts world-wide contains hematite (Fe2O3) and significant quantities of magnetite (Fe3O4). Waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) also poses a great environmental threat aside to accumulated E...

Thermal co-treatment of Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) may provide a viable route for reprocessing these hazardous materials within the circular economy. To develop and optimise a commercial treatment process, the compl...

S-band elliptical–cylindrical cavity resonator for material processing (2022)
Journal Article
Rodriguez, J., Ampuero, J., Valderrama, W., Buttress, A., Dodds, C., Kingman, S., & Carrasco, H. (2022). S-band elliptical–cylindrical cavity resonator for material processing. Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 64(12), 2160-2164. https://doi.org/10.1002/mop.33431

The development of an elliptical–cylindrical cavity for microwave thermal processing of materials at high electric field strengths is reported. The design methodology based on numerical modeling is validated by experimental measurements. The system c... Read More about S-band elliptical–cylindrical cavity resonator for material processing.
