Sumario:With the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, an increasing amount of radioactive graphite needs to be treated safely and effectively. In this work, microwave sintering technology was initially applied to treat simulated graphite waste. The effects of microwaves on the phase composition and microstructure of graphite were investigated. Combined with the mass loss results and fitting results of the phase, the mechanism for simulated graphite waste treatment via microwave sintering was obtained. According to the results, there are three stages regarding the effect of microwave sintering on the microstructure of graphite waste. This work reveals the potential application of microwave sintering technology in the treatment of graphite waste and its treatment mechanism.
