Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, a new effective method of processing for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been developed: It enables PCBs to become harmless by dechlorinating them using a 2.45 GHz microwave (MW). Compared with conventional thermal heating, MW processing hardly produces any harmful byproduct materials, and has high reaction velocity. To investigate such promotion of chemical reaction by MW irradiation, the surface temperature of the catalyst is measured by an infrared camera just after the irradiation by MW. It is recognized that there are some heated regions on the catalyst and the temperature is not uniform. It is natural to say that chemical reaction is promoted well on such a heated region.
