Abstract
This disclosure relates to a heating reaction method including the following steps: placing an object into a barrel of a twin-screw extruder; transporting the object from a feeding section of the barrel to a heating section of the barrel using a twin-screw of the twin-screw extruder; applying microwaves to the object within the heating section using a microwave generation device for heating and decomposing the object into at least one product; and discharging the at least one product from the barrel using the twin-screw.
Claims20
A heating reaction method comprising:
- placing an object into a barrel of a twin-screw extruder;
- transporting the object from a feeding section of the barrel to a heating section of the barrel using a twin-screw of the twin-screw extruder;
- applying microwaves to the object within the heating section using a microwave generation device for heating and decomposing the object into at least one product;
- and
- discharging the at least one product from the barrel using the twin-screw.
A heating apparatus comprising:
- a twin-screw extruder comprising:
- a barrel having at least one feeding section, at least one heating section and at least one discharging section that are sequentially arranged, wherein the at least one feeding section, the at least one heating section and the at least one discharging section are in space connection with one another and form a transportation space;
- and
- a twin-screw rotatably disposed in the transportation space;
- and
- a microwave generation device comprising:
- a waveguide directly disposed on the at least one heating section of the barrel;
- and
- a microwave heater directly disposed on a side of the waveguide farther from the barrel, wherein the microwave heater applies microwaves to the at least one heating section through the waveguide.
