Microwave assisted hydro-distillation of essential oils from fresh ginger root (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) (2017)
Journal Article

A solvent free in situ microwave hydro-distillation method for extraction of essential oil from fresh ginger root it presented. Extraction was conducted in a TE10n single-mode microwave cavity and variable power 2 kW generator operating at 2.45GHz. T...

Towards large scale microwave treatment of ores: Part 2 - Metallurgical testing (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 A pilot scale microwave treatment system capable of treating 10–150t/h of material at 10–200kW was designed, constructed and commissioned in order to understand the engineering challenges of microwave-induced fracture of ores at scale and gene...

Towards large scale microwave treatment of ores: Part 1 – Basis of design, construction and commissioning (2017)
Journal Article

Despite over thirty years of work, microwave pre-treatment processes for beneficiation of ores have not progressed much further than laboratory testing. In this paper we present a scaleable pilot-scale system for the microwave treatment of ores capab...
