Microwave and Radiofrequency Drying
This special issue will focus on microwave and radiofrequency drying, a vital technology across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, biotechnology, and materials science.
We aim to compile cutting-edge research and development that propels microwave and radiofrequency drying science and its applications forward.
Advancements in areas such as process modeling, scale-up strategies, energy efficiency, and quality control within this field are of particular interest.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Fundamentals of microwave and radiofrequency drying processes
- Dielectric properties measurement
- Process optimization and control
- Energy and cost efficiency improvements
- Novel equipment and technologies
- Applications in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, foods, and other sectors
- Modeling, simulation and scale-up strategies
- Quality assurance and regulatory aspects
We encourage both original research articles and comprehensive review articles.
