2nd NSF/EPRI Workshop on Microwave-Induced Reactions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Abstract - Suib - 9710973 The use of microwave heating to induce chemical reactions is being studied to determine whether or not there are inherent advantages to using microwave heating over more classical heating methods. Recent reviews have focused on fundamental mechanistic aspects, hardware, system design and applications of microwave heating. In addition, recent symposia have addressed the use of microwave heating in waste management, chemical synthesis, advanced dielectric processing, and in medical and food technology, among others. This grant is to provide partial support for the 2nd NSF/EPRI Workshop on Microwave-Induced Reactions. The 1st Workshop was held March 7-10, 1993 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. The 2nd Workshop will be held from Sunday, June 22, 1997 through Wednesday, June 25, 1997 at the University of Connecticut. The Workshop will consist of oral presentations and poster sessions on current research in the area of Microwave-Induced Reactions. It is meant to "take-stock" of this area, specifically to evaluate progress made by PI's supported by NSF and EPRI since the first workshop as well as to attempt to highlight work done by others in the field in the interim. These funds are for partial support to defer travel and registration costs for invited speakers.
