[0002] Because microwave heating is highly selective, the material being heated directly absorbs the microwave energy, heating it from the inside out. This results in rapid heating, high temperatures, high thermal efficiency, easy operation and control, and energy conservation and environmental protection. In recent years, microwaves have been widely used in various industrial fields, including calcination, sintering, smelting, and purification.
[0003] Chinese patent application number CN201520908256.2 discloses an internally shielded microwave calcining furnace that utilizes microwaves as a heating method. The furnace wall comprises, from the outside to the inside, an outer shell, a heat-insulating layer, and a shielding layer. The shielding layer is made of a refractory metal mesh or a perforated metal plate with a mesh size of 10 to 120, preferably 20 to 100. The use of the shielding layer can prevent the collapse of the microwave calcining furnace, reduce microwave energy loss, and improve microwave calcining efficiency. However, the calcining furnace suffers from uneven temperatures, resulting in inconsistent internal and external temperatures, which presents drawbacks and deficiencies. Utility Model Content
