AbstractA simple measure of the susceptibility of a substance to microwaves (MW) is the resulting heating rate that depends on its heat capacity, density, starting temperature, MW extinction coefficient at the used MW frequency and distance from the irradiated surface. Water, that is ubiquitous in many products, currently treated with MW, shows a large susceptibility at 2450 MHz MW. This is why water is a suitable reference to rank the MW susceptibility of other compounds. Aqueous solutions are the simplest systems to investigate how the presence of extra compounds can modify (normally, reduce) this property. The present work provides a very simple evidence of a peculiar MW susceptibility of the water–ethanol mixture with azeotropic composition, XEtOH = 0.90 mol fraction, at temperatures rather below the respective boiling point at ambient pressure. The available literature reports a number of experimental and theoretical investigations that suggest the formation of (EtOH)n·(H2O)m ring clusters that change the hydrogen bond network and/or favor intermolecular hydrophobic hydration. The decamer, (EtOH)9·H2O, could be responsible for the peculiar MW susceptibility of the azeotropic mixture.

Water tables in aquifer regions of the southwest United States are dropping off at a rate which is greater than can be replaced by natural means. It is estimated that by 1985 wells will run dry in this region unless adequate artificial recharging can be accomplished. Recharging with surface water is limited by the plugging of permeable rock formations underground by clay particles and organic debris.A controlled study was initiated in which sand grains were used as the rock formation and water with known clay concentrations as the recharge media. The plugging mechanism was investigated by direct observation in the SEM of frozen hydrated sand samples from selected depths.
