摘要: In this context, the present study proposes the use of microwave irradiation to improve the dehydration rate and efficiency of strontium hydroxide octahydrate (Sr(OH)2·8H2O) without introducing contaminants. This study revealed that the use of microwave irradiation to dehydrate Sr(OH)2·8H2O is feasible and surprisingly efficient. The effects of this approach on important parameters were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). The results revealed that the microwave dehydration process follows a linear polynomial model. In addition, compared with the heating time and material thickness, the microwave-assisted dehydration of Sr(OH)2·8H2O is sensitive to the microwave power and not to the material mass. The relative dehydration percentage reached 99.99% when heated in a microwave oven at 950 W for just 3 min. In contrast, a relative dehydration percentage of 94.6% was reached when heated in an electric furnace at 180 ℃ for 120 min. The XRD spectra also revealed that most of the Sr(OH)2·8H2O transformed into Sr(OH)2 after dehydration via microwave irradiation, whereas a significant portion of the Sr(OH)2·H2O remained after conventional electric dehydration. The experimental data were fitted and analyzed via the thin-layer drying dynamics model, and the results indicated that the dehydrating behavior of Sr(OH)2·8H2O could be well described by the Page model.
