기존 식품건조 공정방법인 냉동보관, 자연건조에 의한 건조방식은 상품의 품질을 저하시켜 경쟁력이 낮고, 열풍건조 등 자동화된 건조공정의 경우에도 열에 의한 건조대상물의 탈색 및 변형 등의 특성변화로 인하여 고부가가치 상품의 제조하기 어려움의 한계로 인한 보관 및 상품성 저하 문제점 대두되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 마이크로웨이브 건조기술 도입을 통한 건조방식 개선이 필요하다. 마이크로웨이브 건조기술은 표면 가열방식의 기존 건조방식에 비해 가열대상 물질의 표면 손상이 적고 전력효율이 우수하다는 특징으로 인하여 건조분야에서 점차 해당 건조기술이 확대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로웨이브 건조에서 공정관리 요소들의 상태를 실시간으로 수집하고 이를 기반으로 숙련자의 작업공정 환경을 습득하여 데이터 베이스화하여 자동화된 작업공정을 제공하기 위한 모니터링 제어시스템을 제안하였다.

Microwave continuous drier system mostly uses the ISM frequency band(915MHz or 2450MHz). It dry the material off from it's inside by the electromagnetic wave. The structure whose openings is needed for dry system to continuously feeds a materials into the system. So it is too difficult to shield the leakage of electromagnetic energy through the apertures. In this paper, we designed microwave continuous drier structure which operates at 2450MHz and analyzed the field distributions at the internal and external region of the structure.

Removal efficiencies for diesel fuel and diesel hydrocarbons ($C_10$∼$C_22$) using microwave-enhanced SVE process were evaluated with dry and moist soil, respectively. Diesel removal rates of microwave-enhanced SVE process were 7 times for dry soil and 1580 times for moist soil as great as those of the SVE process without microwave heating. High dielectric property of water contents may accelerate the absorption of microwave energy into soil and thus vaporized the diesel fuel components drastically. The diesel removals were 67.7∼78.4% for $C_10$ and $C_12$, and 0∼18.5% for $C_14$∼$C_22$ for dry and moist soil with SVE process only. On the other hand, dry soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process showed 89.3∼99.4% removal for $C_10$ to and $C_12$ and 35.6∼67.0% for hydrocarbons over $C_14$. All hydrocarbons ($C_10$∼$C_22$) studied were significantly removed (93.6∼99.8%) for moist soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process.

In this study, the characteristics and mechanism of microwave-assisted drying were investigated to improve the efficiency of the storage and extraction of biomass through the removal of moisture from plant cell Taxus chinensis. The efficiency of microwave-assisted drying increased with increasing microwave power. When the experimental data were fitted to typical drying kinetic models, the page and modified Page models were the most appropriate. The microwave-assisted drying was determined to be a spontaneous endothermic process, and randomness increased during the drying process. The effective diffusion coefficient (3.445 × 10^-9~7.163 × 10^-7 ㎡/s) and mass transfer coefficient (3.1529 × 10^-5~1.2895 × 10^-2 m/s) increased with increasing microwave power. The small Biot number (0.3890~0.7198) indicated that the mass transfer process was externally controlled.

In order to determine the porosity of rock, the 'standard test method for porosity and density of rock' proposed by the Korean Society for Rock Mechanics is commonly used. However, the standard test method, which uses a drying oven, takes 8 to 24 hours to complete the test in taking samples out of the oven every four hours and measuring the weight of the specimen. To complement these disadvantages, we devised a method for measuring rock porosity by using a microwave oven. The devised method reduced the cause of errors and the inconvenience occurred in the process of weighing samples by constructing a weight monitoring system, which monitors the drying process. A suitable heating/pause time was set up to maintain the temperature of sample below $105{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ in drying process, and an alarm system was implemented in order to stop drying process when the weight change of the rock sample is within 0.1% of the initial weight. The porosity was determined from the dry weight of the sample, which was obtained by the curve fitting of weight monitoring data. Then, the porosities obtained by using the microwave oven were compared with those obtained by the standard test method. Test results using sandstone samples showed that the porosities obtained by a microwave oven was similar to those obtained by the standard method and the porosity difference between two methods was as large as 0.4%. In addition, repeated porosity measurement using the same specimen showed that the standard deviation of the porosity, which reflects the precision of the measurement was as good as 0.23%. Therefore, a microwave oven porosity measurement system can give the porosity of rock samples with high reliability.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of microwave-assisted extraction on Schizandra fruit extract dried by two different treatments: freeze-drying and hot air-drying. Two extraction parameters were measured in particular: total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Both values were found to increase as the microwave power increased, for both drying processes. However, the extract from the freeze-dried sample exhibited higher antioxidant activity than that from the hot air-dried samples. Additionally, the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of the extract from the freeze-dried samples increased with the extraction time, whereas they decreased with the extraction time in the case of the hot air-dried sample. Solvent concentration was also found to have a significant effect on total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity; the highest values for both properties were achieved at 50 and 70% ethanol concentrations, respectively. In summary, a higher total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were observed for Schizandra fruit extracted by freeze-drying than that by hot air-drying.

This research aims to secure fundamental data for the development offire-retardant wood by soaking dried wood in fire-retardant liquid. To dry wood, optimal drying conditions for softwood usually used as structural material and hardwood usually used as finishing or furniture material were derived by varying the microwave outputs and heating times of microwave wood drying equipment. The research foundthat each specimen needs 8 to 15 minutes of heating time depending on water content and output. For softwood, fire-retardant liquid equivalent to about 10 percent of the total mass of the specimen infiltrated into the dried wood, of which the water content was reduced to 5~6 percent.

Dielectric heating materials were prepared through the thermal treatment for composites of Li and Zn type precursors that are major materials being responded to microwave under diversified conditions. The prepared heating material samples were analyzed by SEM and it was confirmed that $Li_5Fe_5O_8$ materials being formed on the surface was a major influencing factor for the heating performance. Heating materials improved the moisture removal in a sludge drying facility, for example, the moisture content of 25 v/v% sludge decreased to 15.22 v/v%. Accordingly, heating materials were confirmed to directly affect the performance and efficiency of the microwave drying process.
