该研发项目将专注于纳米级颗粒的微波辅助干燥。在前一阶段，** 在实验室规模下使用多模式系统进行微波辅助干燥获得了令人满意的结果。本 ** 研发项目将研究单模微波系统的应用，并比较 ** 单模和多模系统的性能。**并结合工业微波干燥系统的技术要求和技术指标，对微波辅助干燥的操作参数进行了详细的技术分析。为此，将关注工业微波制造商的技术反馈。此外，还将对球磨前原料的微波辅助干燥进行研究。对于球磨操作，需要最小量的水分，并且可以使用微波系统代替传统的干燥系统。Argex Titanium Incorporated正在开发一种生产二氧化钛颜料 ** 的新技术，包括预热和脱水。因此，低功率微波辅助加热可用于 ** 预热和脱水。微波处理的主要优点是根据材料的类型和尺寸进行选择性加热。此外，减少能源消耗和加工时间将增加颜料 ** 生产的利润。

This R&D project will focus on microwave-assisted drying for nanosize particles. On the previous phase,**satisfactory results were obtained for microwave-assisted drying using multi-mode system at lab scale. For this**R&D project application of single-mode microwave system will be investigated and the performance of**single-mode and multi-mode systems will be compared.**Also detail technical analysis will be done on the operational parameters of microwave-assisted drying with**respect to technical requirements and specifications of an industrial microwave system. For this purpose, the**technical feedback of an industrial microwave manufacturer will be concerned. Besides, an investigation will**be carried out on microwave-assisted drying of raw material before ball milling. For ball milling operation a**minimum amount of moisture is needed, and microwave system can be used instead of conventional drying**systems.**Argex Titanium Incorporated, is developing a novel technology for producing titanium dioxide pigment**including preheating and dewatering. Therefore, low power microwave-assisted heating can be used for**preheating and dewatering. The main advantage of microwave treatment is selective heating due to material**type and size. In addition, reduction in energy consumption and process time would increase profit for pigment**production.
