Article Synopsis
- The article presents a new method for activating chemical reactions using microwaves without needing a conventional oven, utilizing a microwave antenna instead.
- It describes the design and function of a coaxial dipole applicator operating at 2450 MHz, highlighting its application in organic synthesis, essential oil extraction, and the treatment of liquid pollutants.
- The method aims to appeal to scientists, engineers, and technicians by emphasizing its practical benefits for both scientific and industrial uses.
A novel microwave method has been applied to the hydrothermal extraction of essential oil from plants. An insulated microwave coaxial antenna was introduced inside a 1000 ml glass flask containing dry Laurus nobilis L. leaves and tap water.
