The stability is a key product performance index, which can directly determine the quality of the partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ), so how to predict the stability of PSZ accurately, quickly and easily in the preparation process is very important. In this paper, a new mathematical model to predict the stability of PSZ prepared by microwave heating was proposed, based on statistical theory (SLT) and support vector machine (SVM) theory, which relates the stability of PSZ and the influence factors, such as the holding temperature, rising rate of temperature, holding time, decreasing rate of temperature and hardening temperature. Typical data collected from 58 experiments were used for the training samples and test samples. Then testing and analyzing was done. The results showed that the SVM model is reasonable and it is accurate and reliable to predict the stability of the partially stabilized zirconia prepared by microwave heating by SVM model. Besides, multiple influence factors can be comprehensively considered in the SVM model, thus a new highly effective method for predicting the stability of PSZ prepared by microwave heating is provided for future application, which is of great significance to theory and practice.

Reactions under microwave heating present reduced reaction times and larger yields. Therefore, this work is aimed at adapting a domestic microwave oven and optimizing the transesterification reaction used in biodiesel production with microwave heating, using babaçu coconut oil as raw material. It was used a central composite design for varying irradiation time, KOH concentration, and oil:methanol ratio. Statistical analyses were performed in orderto assess the significance of the model used. The optimized experimental conditions were: oil:methanol ratio, 8.59; KOH concentration, 2.19 %; and irradiation time, 70 seconds, givingan yield of approximately 100% regarding esters formation.

The effects of SiCp addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZTA ceramics was investigated by microwave sintering. Partially stabilized zirconia(3Y-ZrO2)nanopowder containing SiCp was prepared by microwave pyrolysing precursor which was was achieved by co-precipitation method. The powders of alumina, yttria partially stabilized zirconia containing SiCp were mixed to prepare ZTA ceramics green body by die pressing and cold isostatic pressing and subsequently sintered at the range of 1350°C-1550°C for 30min by microwave. XRD revealed that 3Y-ZrO2/SiC powder contained more tetragonal phase than 3Y-ZrO2 powder which was also confirmed by SEM and particle size distribution. The phenomenon was because of SiCp forming the microwave heating spot that promoted pyrolysis progress when 3Y-ZrO2/SiC powder was prepared by microwave heating. Microstructure showed that the grain of ZTA ceramics had directional growth by microwave sintering. SiCp firstly absorbed microwave that made more uniform sintering of ZTA ceramics and caused local oriented growth of zirconia and alumina. Thus, the bending strength of ZTA ceramics was higher than ZTA without SiCp. The ladder type heating mode of microwave sintering ZTA ceramics reduced relatively sintering time by 20min due to the addition of SiCp.Introduction

Several different reactions have been studied to determine whether they occur more rapidly than conventionally heated reactions at atmospheric pressure. Small rate enhancements have been observed for some reactions carried out under microwave reflux in a modified domestic microwave oven. The Knoevenagel reaction of acetophenone with ethyl cyanoacetate was shown to have a rate enhancement of 2.5 times. However this reaction showed no rate increase over conventional heating, at the same temperature, in a variable-frequency microwave oven. It is therefore probable that the small rate enhancements observed in these experiments, using microwave heating, were due to hot spots or superheating of the solvent rather than to nonthermal effects.Key words: microwave, nonthermal effects, superheating, hot spots.

The synthesis of a broad range of oximes has been studied. It was found that the application of microwave heating enhanced dramatically the reaction rate, and practically quantitative yields of oximes were isolated after less than 1-min heating in the most cases. The effect of solvents on the course of the reaction was also studied.
