Applications of high power micro wave catalysis in chemistry

Abstract

Several applications of microwave induced catalysis in chemical reactions are discussed including the synthesis of higher aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons from methane, the oxidation of hydrocarbons with water as oxidant, and the destruction of SO2 and NO. A model describing the concept of the technology is briefly introdueed with a discussion of several of the parameters affecting the interactions of the microwaves with the catalysts and the chemical reagents in the process. © 1990, Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
