State of the art in the application of the application of microwave energy for drying bottle-grade polyester (PET)
Abstract
This paper presents an overview of microwave heating as one method of thermal processing for polymers drying, as an example with take polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The main focused is centered on developing new processing and manufacturing technologies to reduce production or manufacturing costs and times. In comparison to the conventional processes, microwave drying offers economical advantages in terms of power and time savings. The present review work focuses mainly on global developments in the field of microwave drying of plastics and their relevant industrial applications.
