Abstract

The mechanism of chromate ores destruction under microwave radiation is studied by optical polarizing microscope and X-ray method. The obtained results of optical studies have been analyzed by computer simulation. It is established that under microwave radiation occurring not only local heating and mechanical splitting of chromate concentrates but also structural and chemical transformations. As a result, products of destruction are enriched with the basic substance – chromite.
