The ceramics industry represents a major segment of the globaleconomy and includes a diverse range of mature (i.e., whitewares,refractories, glass) and emerging (i.e., technical and advancedceramics) products. Themanufacture of nearly all ceramics productsrequires the use of both high (firing) and low (drying) temper-atures that, up to the present, have been provided primarily byconventional electric resistance or gas heating. Microwave energyas a replacement and/or complement to traditional methods has thepotential to reduce processing costs, improve product performance,and provide a greener solution for manufacturing ceramics. |
