Abstract
Microwave energy can be used to assist mechanical rock breakage for civil and mining engineering operations. To assess the industrial applicability of this technology, microwave heating of basalt specimens in a multi-mode cavity (a microwave chamber) at different power levels was followed by conventional mechanical strength and fragmentation effect tests in the laboratory. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive...
