Application and prospect of microwave pyrolysis of organic polymer materials

Abstract Microwave pyrolysis, as an environmentally friendly energy recovery technology, has great potential for development in waste treatment. In this paper, the research progress of microwave pyrolysis technology is reviewed in order to sort out the current status and predict the future development direction. Starting from the general treatment methods of waste, the principles, advantages and applications of microwave heating compared with conventional heating are highlighted. Next, the main research results of microwave pyrolysis on different raw materials are examined. Then, the characteristics, advantages and application prospects of microwave pyrolysis products are reviewed. Finally, the future development direction of microwave pyrolysis is predicted based on the challenges facing industrial production.
