Abstract Decomposition (extraction) of metal-containing ore samples mixed with a carbon source has been achieved by high-power pulse radio-frequency irradiation. Elimination of electrical discharges, which have been an inherent problem in other high-power microwave studies, can be accomplished by careful manipulation of the pulse characteristics. The advantages of the RF technique over microwave technology are discussed. Key Words: Decomposition, Extraction, Metallic ore, Pulsed high power RF. |
