Summary: Concerns over resource limitations and environmental pollution have prompted the adoption of a circular economy focused on converting waste into resources. This study demonstrates the synthesis of microzonal carbon through the microrecycling of waste hard rubber using both conventional and microwave heating methods. The results suggest that microwave heating offers rapid and selective changes in the structural properties of microzonal carbon compared to conventional heating, leading to the formation of near-spherical agglomerated microzonal carbon. Additionally, this microrecycling process can contribute to environmental protection and material sustainability.

Summary: The effects of microwave heating on the carbothermal reduction characteristics of oxidized Mn ore for producing FeMn were investigated. Results showed that carbothermal reactions under microwave heating proceeded more extensively and faster compared to conventional heating, with metal phases observed only under microwave heating. The study suggested that microwave heating could enhance the reduction efficiency of MnO to Mn.

Summary: In this study, the inactivation kinetics of an α-amylase enzymatic time-temperature integrator (TTI) from Bacillus subtilis (BAA) under continuous-flow microwave (MW) and conventional heating conditions were evaluated and compared. The study found that the decimal reduction times under conventional batch heating were higher than under continuous-flow MW heating, and that modifying the pH could affect the D-values to suit appropriate processing conditions.
