Investigation of the process of regeneration of silica gel by drying it in the super high-frequency electromagnetic field

There were made experimental studies of the drying kinetics of porous silica gel with different initial humidity, and investigated the change in temperature of the material during this process. On the basis of experimental data the parameters of drying process with microwave energy supply, drying time to the equilibrium moisture (≤ 0,5 %), the time limit for processing without disrupting properties of silica gel, as well as temperature adsorbent at the end of the drying process were revealed.
