Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. developed an efficient/low cost proprietary microwave platform technology.
The core technology consists of novel hybrid catalyst andmicrowave continuous flow reactor with customized reaction design.
We applied the microwave platform technology to produce biofuel and chemicals from non-edible renewable feedstock.
The process also realized one pot reaction of esterification and transesterification utilizing novel hybrid catalyst.
Platform technology #1: Reaction design
MWCC will design and customize the chemical reaction utilizing proprietary software designed for microwave chemistry measuring complex permittivity and permeability.
Reaction design with computational chemistry
Platform technology #2：Hybrid catalyst
MWCC developed a novel hybrid catalyst. The hybrid catalyst is heated selectively dueto the large electric and/or magnetic loss resulting in the nonequilibrium local heatingunder microwave irradiation.
Novel hybrid catalyst
Platform Technology #3: Large-scale continuous microwave reactor
One of the major reasons that microwave chemical has not been industrialized isits difficulty in scaling up the reactor. We have succeeded to design and operate theworld’s first large scale microwave reactor with capacity of 2〜10ton per day.
Continuous Flow Reactor (2〜10ton/Day)
