Microwaves in Soil Remediation from VOCs.2.Buildup of a Dedicated Device

摘要

This work presents the design of a microwave opened applicator useful to perform the Microwave Induced Steam Distillation (MISD) process for soil remediation treatments.The prototype has been also realized and used to irradiate a 40 x 30 cm area with a given electromagnetic field distribution.Experiments carried out by in situ operations on a soil contaminated with VOC's are reported.Finally,the experimental data collected are described by a mathematical model previously proposed.
