What materials can be microwave dried?

Microwave is only used in drying industry in recent years. Because of its special drying method, it deals with various difficulties in the drying process of many materials. Microwave is widely used. Many materials can be dried by microwave, but some materials are not suitable.

Compared with traditional drying equipment, microwave is energy saving, environmental protection and high efficiency, but the cost of microwave drying equipment is relatively higher than other drying equipment. Therefore, microwave is not a good choice for some materials with low added value, unique and high red drying output. For example: corn, sorghum and other crops. Microwave drying can also be efficient, but the relative cost will increase a lot.

For those high value-added materials, microwave drying is a good choice

Chemical industry: calcium silicate, saponite, titanate, zirconium silicate, aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxide, etc. Hundreds of chemical raw materials (see "practical limit column of chemical industry" for details)

Powder industry: diamond, silicon carbide, silicon powder, zirconium hydroxide, sodium nitrite, molybdenum ore powder, white corundum, graphite, etc. (see the column of practical powder raw materials for details)

Because there are thousands of materials, they will not be listed one by one. General practical industries include: refractory materials industry, building materials industry, packaging industry, grinding industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, feed and fertilizer industry.

As far as the pharmaceutical and food industries are concerned, microwave drying is their blessing. In the drying process, microwave can effectively inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms, kill microorganisms, play a good role in sterilization, thus greatly ensuring the health of human food.
