Abstract

Oily hot rolling mill (HRM) sludge containing a high percentage of iron oxides has been treated under microwave irradiation, and the products compared to hexane washed and thermal treated sludges. Metals present in the sludge act as a highly microwave-absorbent material, creating hot spots that trig...
