Research status and trend of high-temperature microwave metallurgy reactor

The research progress of high-temperature microwave metallurgy reactor was reviewed based on the brief account of the theory of microwave. The exiting problems of high-temperature microwave metallurgy reactor were discussed, which include the stability of microwave metallurgy reactor on the conditions of high temperature, large size high temperature cavity to be the same with microwave fields and design of react engineering. So, it is blank to meet the need of high temperature and high power microwave reactor except small scale microwave equipment. To prepare microwave high-temperature special ceramics, the high-power microwave generator and temperature detection are important. It is conducted that the conversion efficiency of microwave energy, high power microwave metallurgy reactor continuous and steady are the key problems to be overcome for improving the industrial applications.
