Evaluation of the Influence of Microwaves in the Structure of Silica Gels

In this work we studied the influence of microwaves in the pore structure of silica gels obtained via sol-gel polymerization process. We analised the feasibility of replacing conventional heating by microwave heating during drying. Structural parameters such as specific volume of pores (Vp), specifi...
