Microwave desorder

摘要

A microwave desorber is used to remove volatile organic compounds from resins in order to recycle the resins. The desorber includes a container adapted to receive the contaminated resin, and at least one waveguide adapted to introduce microwave energy into the contaminates in the container. A mechanism is provided for moving one of the container and the waveguide relative to the other container and the waveguide to facilitate uniform heating of the contaminants. At least one of the container and the waveguide can be moved, such as oscillated, radially or axially. The contaminated resins can be moved through a preferred radial zone of the container in order to optimize the microwave heating in accordance with the particular contaminates or resins.
