Microwave drying works on the volumetric heating concept promoted by electromagnetic radiation at 0.915 or 2.450 GHz. In this study, banana ( Musa Cavendish) was taken as the sample and treated under microwave drying. The effect of two process variables, namely slice thickness (2, 3.5, and 5 mm) and microwave power (180 W, 360 W, and 540 W), were studied on drying kinetics and color kinetics. It was observed that the inverse variation relationship exists between drying time and microwave power level while drying time and slice thickness exhibited a direct variation relationship. A Computer Vision System (CVS) was developed to measure the color values of banana in CIELab space using an algorithm written in MATLAB software. Once the color parameters were obtained, they were fitted in First and Zero-order kinetic models. Both models were found to describe the color values adequately. This study concludes that microwave drying is a promising dehydration technique for banana drying that reduces the significant time of drying. Application of CVS is an excellent approach to measure the surface color of banana.

Abstract In continuous microwave heating, the temperature rise of rubber extrudates and the level of unabsorbed or reflected microwave power are strongly dependent upon the microwave power level, residence time, and extrudate configuration. It is therefore essential to control these processing parameters, together with the energy absorption characteristics of rubber materials, to improve the efficiency of microwave heating process.

In order to understand the law on concrete degradation induced by microwave irradiation, the experimental research is conducted in which the following works are completed. At first, the different concrete specimens are exposed to microwave of various power levels for various time periods, and then some specimen irradiated by microwave are cooled in air, the other cooled by spraying water. After that, the tensile strengths of the heated and unheated specimens are measured with Brazilian test method. According to the test results, the reduction of tensile strength of plain concrete and steel-fiber reinforced concrete induced by microwave irradiation is analyzed, and the relations between the tensile strength reduction and the microwave exposure time and the effect of microwave power level on the residual tensile strength of concrete are obtained. The experimental research shows that the tensile strength reduction of concrete induced by microwave irradiation is dependent on the concrete component, microwave exposure time, microwave power level, and cooling method after irradiation. It is expected that the findings in the paper will become the basis of the future research of concrete and rock degradation induced by microwave irradiation, and will aim in searching the new method of breaking concrete and rock more efficiently.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of phenolic compounds from Chromolaena odorata leaves was investigated using one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) and two-level factorial design. The MAE parameters studied were irradiation time (A: 1–5 min); microwave power level (B: 400-800 W); extraction temperature (C: 60–80 °C); solvent/feed ratio (D: 8:1–14:1 mL/g); and ethanol concentration (E: 20–60% v/v). The optima yields of TPC and TFC were 56.13 mg GAE/g d.w. and 44.78 mg QE/g d.w., respectively were achieved from MAE of C. odorata leaf at irradiation time of 2 min, microwave power of 600 W, temperature of 60 °C, solvent:feed ratio of 10:1 mL/g, and ethanol concentration of 40% v/v through one-factor-at-time (OFAT) experimental trials. The results obtained from a two-level factorial design experiments reflected that only ethanol concentration (20–60% v/v), irradiation time (1–5 min) and microwave power level (400–800 W) had significant effects on the yields of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) from C. odorata leaves (p < 0.05). However, temperature and solvent/feed ratio was not significant. In addition, the interactions AB (irradiation time and microwave power) and AE (irradiation time and ethanol concentration) contributed greatly to the recovery yields.

The microwave assisted synthesis nowadays attracts a great deal of attention. Monoclinic phase VO2(M) was prepared from NH4VO3andH2C2O4·2H2Oby a rapid microwave assisted technique. The synthesis parameters, microwave irradiation time, microwave power, and calcinations temperature were systematically varied and their influences on the structure and morphology were evaluated. The microwave power level has been carried out in range 180–600 W. TEM analysis demonstrated nanosized samples. The structural and morphological properties were measured using XRD, TEM, and thermal analyses. The variations of vanadium phase led to thermochromic properties.

Hazardous waste such as automotive paint sludge has a potential to be recovered or treated with advance method such as microwave assisted pyrolysis. It is an advantage for the process with the aid of microwave radiation to the system due to the high affinity of water in the automotive paint sludge which acts as the medium of heating in the microwave pyrolysis reaction. By having such process, not only it is good to dispose the automotive paint sludge but three different products have been recovered from that process such as solid char, liquid oil and gas. With the high hydrocarbon content in the automotive paint sludge, it was estimated that high valuable hydrocarbon might be recovered in the liquid product. From this research, three parameters were studied and analyzed for the product distribution and liquid oil recovered which are sample weight loading, microwave power level and radiation time. It was observed that best sample weight loading, microwave power level and radiation time to produce high liquid hydrocarbon oil were 200g, 1000W and 30 minutes respectively in which 0.1g or 0.27% was liquid oil recovered from overall sample weight loading.
