We report a direct comparison of microwave heating and conventional heating in solvent extraction by using exactly the same reaction conditions (including heating rate) in the extraction of polyphenols from dried sea buckthorn leaves. We have for the...

Enhancing evaporative mass transfer and steam stripping using microwave heating (2017)
Journal Article
The effect of microwave heating on evaporative mass transfer of hydrocarbons was investigated for a number of contaminated solid materials. The rate of oil removal could be rationalised by the velocity of steam that was created by selective heating o...

New insights into microwave pyrolysis of biomass: preparation of carbon-based products from pecan nutshells and their application in wastewater treatment (2017)
Journal Article
Microwave pyrolysis of pecan nutshell (Carya illinoinensis) biomass was used to produce carbon-based solid products with potential application in contaminated water treatment. A range of analytical techniques were applied to characterize the inter...
