Abstract:

When irradiated with microwave, substances of various dielectric characteristics will cause loss of energy; the quantity of energy loss is proportional to dielectric constant. Because borax glass has higher dielectric constant than quartz glass (e.g. 4.6 vs. 3.6 F M-1), it causes higher energy loss than quartz glass. Laboratory results reveal that the removal of coke is smaller for the sample placed in the borax glass reactor than in the quartz glass container (17.7 vs. 25.9%). On the other hand, with the same condition of microwave energy (450 W) and exposure time (8 hours), when the air is led in (2 L min-1) to do the carbon reactivation process of catalyst, the carbon removal rate is raised from 15.1 to 69.7%. Using the microwave energy to regenerated wasted high carboncontaining (coke) Pt-catalyst as studied in this research is an innovated technology.
