ABSTRACT:
Microwave energy may be used to dielectrically heat a medium, which can remediate the medium. An apparatus or a system employing this concept is well-suited for various environmental applications, such as in-situ remediation of soil, sludge or spills. The system comprises a microwave energy source having a preselected microwave frequency for emitting microwave energy. The system also comprises a wave-guide section having a cross-section dimensioned in accordance with the wavelength of the microwave frequency for transmitting microwave energy. A broadband mode converter may be disposed in alignment with the wave-guide section. An applicator element is disposed in alignment with the broadband more converter for applying microwave energy directly to the medium without confining the medium, thereby removing contaminants from the medium.
