Microwave properties

Announce
edit
The basic properties of microwave are usually characterized by penetration, reflection and absorption. For example, for glass, plastic and porcelain, microwave almost passes through without being absorbed. For water and food, it will absorb microwave and make itself fever For metal objects, microwave will be reflected.
from electronics and physics From the point of view, microwave Electromagnetic spectrum It has the following important characteristics different from other bands:

Penetrability

Microwave is used for Radiant heating Of electromagnetic wave , such as infrared Far infrared The equal wavelength is longer, so it has better penetrability. When microwave penetrates into the medium, due to certain interaction between microwave energy and the medium hertz It makes the molecules of the medium produce 2.45 billion vibrations every second, and the molecules of the medium produce friction with each other, which causes the rise of the medium temperature, so that the internal and external parts of the medium materials are heated almost simultaneously, forming a body heat source state, greatly reducing the heat in conventional heating Conduction time , and if the condition is Dielectric loss factor It is similar to the medium temperature Negative correlation The internal and external heating of the material is uniform.

Selective heating

The ability of a substance to absorb microwaves is mainly determined by its medium Loss factor To decide. The material with a large dielectric loss factor has a strong ability to absorb microwave, on the contrary, the material with a small dielectric loss factor has a weak ability to absorb microwave. Due to the difference in the loss factors of various substances, microwave heating It shows the characteristics of selective heating. Different substances produce different thermal effects. Water Molecules Polar molecule Dielectric constant Large, its dielectric loss factor is also large, and it has strong microwave absorption ability. and protein carbohydrate Waiting Dielectric constant Relatively small, its microwave absorption capacity is much smaller than that of water. Therefore, for food, water content The amount of microwave heating has a great influence on the effect of microwave heating.

Low thermal inertia

Microwave pair medium The material is heated instantaneously, and the heating speed is fast. On the other hand, microwave output power Adjustable at any time, medium temperature rise It can be changed without inertia and does not exist“ waste heat ”Phenomenon, which is very conducive to automatic control and Continuity Production needs.

Photomimetic

The microwave wavelength is shorter than that of ordinary objects on the earth (such as aircraft, warship , automobile buildings, etc.) are much smaller or on the same scale. The characteristics of microwave geometrical optics Similarity is the so-called photolike property. Therefore, working with microwave can make Circuit element Size reduction; Make the system more compact; It can be made into small size and narrow beam directional Very strong, high gain antenna system , receiving the reflection from various objects on the ground or in space weak signal So as to determine the orientation and distance of the object and analyze the characteristics of the target.
Because the microwave wavelength and the size of the object (wireless equipment in the laboratory) have the same order of magnitude, the characteristics of the microwave are similar to the longer wave, namely the so-called quasi long wave. for example Microwave waveguide Similar to that in radio receiver Horn antenna and Slot antenna Similar to transmitter in radio; Microwave resonator Similar to a radio resonator.

Nonionization

The quantum energy of microwave is not large enough to change the internal structure of material molecules or destroy the bonds between molecules (except for some substances: for example, microwave can regenerate waste rubber, which is to change waste rubber through microwave Molecular bond )。 Another way of physics, molecules Nucleus Plus electromagnetic field Under the action of the periodic force of resonance All phenomena occur in the microwave range, so microwave provides an effective research means for exploring the internal structure and basic characteristics of materials. On the other hand, using this feature, you can also make many Microwave device

Informational

Because of the high microwave frequency Relative bandwidth Next, its available frequency band Very wide, up to hundreds or even gigahertz. This is low frequency radio waves Incomparable. This means that the microwave Information capacity Large, so modern multiplex communication system , including satellite communication system (On Earth outer space existence the ionosphere For short wave, almost all of them are reflected, which is short wave Skywave communication mode In the microwave band, there are several "cosmic windows" passing through the ionosphere, so microwave is a unique universe Means of communication [6] ), almost without exception, they work in the microwave band. In addition, microwave signal can also provide phase information, polarization information and Doppler frequency information. This is object detection remote sensing Target feature analysis is very important in application.

Principle of microwave extraction

Simulated finite cosmic microwave background radiation image
It is a new technology that uses microwave energy to improve the extraction rate. Its principle is that in the microwave field, the difference in microwave absorption ability makes some areas of the matrix material or Extraction system Some components in are selectively heated, so that the extracted substances are separated from the matrix or system and enter Dielectric constant Small, microwave Absorptive capacity Relatively poor Extractant Medium; Microwave extraction Simple equipment, wide application range Extraction efficiency High Reproducibility Good, time-saving, reagent saving, less pollution and other characteristics. Except mainly for Pretreatment of environmental samples In addition, it is also used for biochemistry food Industrial analysis and natural product Extraction and other fields. In China, there are few reports on the application of microwave extraction technology in the extraction of Chinese herbal medicines.
The mechanism of microwave extraction can be analyzed from the following three aspects: ① microwave radiation The process is High frequency electromagnetic wave The process of penetrating the extraction medium to the microtubule bundles and gland cell system inside the material. As microwave energy is absorbed, the temperature inside the cell will rise rapidly, so that the pressure inside the cell will exceed cell wall The ability of expansion to withstand, resulting in cell rupture Active ingredient It flows out freely and dissolves in the extraction medium at a lower temperature. The required extract can be obtained through further filtration and separation. ② Microwave generated electromagnetic field Molecules that can accelerate the extraction of components from the interior of solids to solid-liquid Interface The rate of diffusion. For example, to water When used as solvent, under the action of microwave field, water molecule changes from high-speed rotation state to excited state This is an unstable state with high energy. At this time, water molecules may be vaporized to enhance the extraction of components drive , or release its own surplus energy back to ground state , the released energy will be transferred to the molecules of other substances to accelerate their Thermal movement So as to shorten the time for the molecules of the extracted components to diffuse from the interior of the solid to the solid-liquid interface, so as to increase the extraction rate several times, reduce the extraction temperature, and maximize the quality of the extract. ③ Since the frequency of microwave is related to the frequency of molecular rotation, microwave energy is Ion migration and dipole Caused by rotation Molecular motion Deionization of radiant energy When it acts on the molecule, it can promote the rotational movement of the molecule. If the molecule has a certain polarity, it can produce instantaneous polarization under the action of the microwave field and operate at a speed of 2.45 billion times/s Polarity transformation Movement, thus producing the vibration and tearing of bonds, friction and collision between particles, and rapidly generating a large amount of heat energy, promoting the cell to break Cytosol Spill and diffuse to solvent. In microwave extraction, the difference in microwave absorption ability can make certain areas of the matrix material or some components in the extraction system be selectively heated, so that the extracted material can be separated from the matrix or system into the extraction solvent with small dielectric constant and relatively poor microwave absorption ability.

The effect of microwave on organism heat effect It refers to organisms caused by microwave organization Or physiological effects on organisms caused by heating of the system. Thermal effects are mainly in vivo Polar molecule Under the action of microwave high frequency electric field, it rotates rapidly and repeatedly friction generates heat The vibration of ions in the body under the action of microwave will also convert the vibration energy into heat; Generally, molecules will absorb microwave energy Thermal movement Energy increase. If the biological tissue absorbs less microwave energy, it can pass through the Blood circulation Radiate absorbed microwave energy (heat) to the whole body or outside the body. If the microwave power is very strong, and the microwave energy absorbed by the biological tissue is more than the energy emitted by the organism, the temperature of the part will rise. Local tissue temperature rise will produce a series of Physiological response , such as expanding local blood vessels, accelerating blood circulation and enhancing tissue metabolism through the thermal regulation system, white blood cell Phagocytosis Enhancement Pathological product Absorption and dissipation, etc.

Microwave interference Bioelectricity (e.g ECG EEG, EMG nerve conduction Potential and cell activity Membrane potential ) will lead to cardiac activity Cerebral nerve Activities and endocrine activities and a series of obstacles. Microwave Non thermal effect People don't know much about it. When the organism is exposed to high power microwave, the thermal effect is the main (it is generally believed that, power density At 10mW/cm two Most of them produce slight heat effect.
