METHOD FOR ACTIVATION OF CHEMICAL OR CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL PROCESSES BY A SIMULTANEOUS USE OF MICROWAVES AND ULTRASONIC PULSES AND CHEMICAL REACTOR THAT CARRIES OUT THIS METHOD

摘要

An apparatus (1) for activation of chemical-physical processes comprising a microwave source (40), for example a magnetron or a klystron or a solid state oscillator (FET transistor), operatively connected at one end of a microwave antenna, for example a co-axial antenna (3), at a connector (13). The apparatus, furthermore, comprises a generator of electric current (45) at high frequency connected to an ultrasonic transducer (2) for example by a shielded cable, not shown in the figure. In operative conditions, the antenna (3) and the ultrasonic transducer (2) are arranged substantially at right angles and at direct contact with a reacting mass (15) contained container (10) in order to activate it and then to complete a desired chemical and/or physical process. More in detail, the reacting mass (15) is subject contemporaneously, or alternatively, to an electromagnetic field generated by the antenna (3), diagrammatically indicated (30), and from the ultrasonic field (20) generated by the ultrasonic transducer (2). By arranging the microwave antenna (3) and the ultrasonic transducer (2) in the reacting mass (15) the efficiency of the process is optimized achieving a synergistic effect thanks to the combination of the electromagnetic field and the ultrasonic field.
