Abstract

The rapid development of natural sciences, based primarily on a significant expansion of technical capabilities of research and entwinement of the achievements of chemistry, physics, biology and other fields of natural sciences, has been observed in recent decades. This contributed to the appearance of new fields of chemistry (laser chemistry, plasma chemistry,
photochemistry, high-pressure chemistry) in the second half of the 20th century. Microwave chemistry as a promising direction, which arose at the intersection of physics and chemistry, joined to these new branches in the last 10…15 years. It includes chemical conversions with participation of solid dielectrics and liquids associated with the use of microwave field energy or MW-field. Microwave irradiation (MWI) is capable to accelerate many chemical reactions by a factor of hundreds, cause rapid volumetric heating of liquid and solid samples, efficiently (quickly and completely) remove moisture from solids, including highly porous, drugs and modify the properties of various sorbents. The application of microwave energy
instead of currently used thermal energy of heat carriers in industrial installations can significantly simplify the technological schemes, exclude all processes and devices related to the preparation of a heat carrier and reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Limitations for microwave radiation application are mainly due to the lack of equipment for industrial use.
