Article Synopsis
  • * The study found that particle formation rates due to ion-induced processes are stable across temperature changes, while neutral particle formation rates increase significantly when temperatures drop from +10 °C to -10 °C.
  • * Despite higher ionization rates, the formation of charged clusters is unlikely to be enhanced in upper tropospheric conditions; instead, neutral nucleation is expected to dominate, with humidity having little effect unless extremely low.

Recently, more attention has been paid to the use of microwave (MW) energy in accelerating chemical reactions. The effect of microwave energy on the reduction of zinc oxide and zinc ferrite was investigated. The results indicated that the temperatures required to initiate zinc oxide and zinc ferrite reduction under MW heating were 550 and 450 °C, respectively, while under conventional thermal (CT) heating, were 950 and 850 °C, respectively.
