Mikrohullámú kezelések hatékonyságvizsgálata és dielektromos mérések alkalmazási lehetőségei szennyvíz és iszapkezelés során

Abstract

Microwave applications have been more and more widely used in food technologies, biotechnology, chemical industry and environmental technique, as well. Detailed analysis of the efficiency and scale-up of microwave processes has been necessitated to carry out experiments in continuously flow microwave equipment. In our research work a continuously flow microwave reactor was applied for pre-treatments of sludge and wastewater. We focused on the investigation of change in physicochemical structure and biodegradability of wastewater and sludge which are considered as main factors determining the further biological utilization and valorisation of waste streams. Our research was extended to measure the dielectric parameters which influence mainly the heat generation efficiency of microwave irradiation.
