Microwaves as an Energy Source for Producing Magnesia-Alumina Spinel
Source abstract
Abstract
This work describes the production of magnesia-alumina spinel using microwaves as an energy source. The microwave energy was supplied by means of an 800 W magnetron operating at 2.45 GHz. The microstructure and the mineral composition were studied by means of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction respectively. The resultant product showed sintered zone and incipient smelting of the reagents meaning that microwave processing could be a practical method for spinel production.
