Download or read book Energy-efficient, scalable and modular industrial microwave applicator for high temperature alkaline hydrolysis of PET written by Ramopoulos, Vasileios. This book was released on 2023-01-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microwave-assisted alkaline hydrolysis of PET can be 20 times faster and at lower temperatures. This work presents a novel industrial microwave applicator at 2.45 GHz with homogeneous distribution to support this reaction, which allows an efficient and continuous operation. In addition, an innovative dielectric and calorimetric measurements setup is presented. Furthermore, the modelling of the reaction kinetics based on the measured dielectric parameters is presented.
