Atmospheric pressure microwave assisted heterogeneous catalytic reactions

The purpose of the study was to investigate microwave selective heating phenomena and their impact on heterogeneous chemical reactions. We also present a tool which will help microwave chemists to answer to such questions as My reaction yields 90% after 7 days at reflux; is it possible to obtain the same yield after a few minutes under microwaves? and to have an approximation of their reactions when conducted under microwaves with different heterogeneous procedures. This model predicting reaction kinetics and yields under microwave heating is based on the Arrhenius equation, in agreement with experimental data and procedures.
