Microwave hydrothermal treatment (MHT), a novel advanced technology, was proposed for the fractionation of Paulownia wood (PW) at temperatures ranging 200–230 °C and residence times 0–50 min, corresponding to severities 2.93–4.70. This procedure allowed 80% xylan recovery as xylooligosaccharides an average 95% cellulose in pretreated PW biomass, showing selectivity treatment, that also compared...

An efficient one-pot microwave-assisted hydrogenation of codeine was achieved in aqueous solution. This technique is simple, fast, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient. Structure of produced dihydrocodeine was approved by using FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, EIMS, and elemental analysis technique. Its purity analysis was performed by using HPLC and assay analysis was performed by using p...

Hydrothermal synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios was conducted by using a microwave-assisted heating method. Their characteristics, such as morphology, porosity, acidity, and the catalytic performance for cracking reaction military jet fuel JP-8, were compared obtained via conventional The method contributed to bigger crystal sizes zeolite well broader mesopore size distribu...

Manganese oxides were synthesized during 40 min at 140 ºC via Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal (MAH) method and treated different temperatures in order to evaluate the phase evolution using structure refinement (Rietveld method). The samples obtained heat defined by means of thermal analysis (160 ºC, 480 715 870 920 1150 ºC) analyzed X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD), Fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transf...

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) generates single-stranded DNAs or RNA, and the diverse applications of this isothermal technique range from the sensitive detection of nucleic acids to analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Microwave chemistry is widely applied to increase reaction rate as well as product yield and purity. The objectives of the present research were to apply microwave h...

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is widely employed in the analysis and the extraction of active compounds from plants. This review summarizes the research done during the last decade on the MAE of active ingredients from plants. Advances and modifications to improve the performance of MAE are presented and discussed in detail. Modified MAE such as vacuum microwave-assisted extraction (VMAE)...
