Abstract:
      A new technology of microwave heating was applied to dry lead slag. The effects of drying temperature, drying duration and material thickness on the dehydration rate of lead slag were investigated by means of the response surface (RSM) central composite design (CCD), and the mathematical model was established. As can be seen from the ANOV, quadratic of mathematical model is better than others in terms of goodness of fit. The material thickness and temperature are found to exert more significant effects on the dehydration rate than drying duration. The optimum conditions for dying with microwave radiation include temperature of 93 ℃, duration of 10 min and material thickness of 19 mm. The optimum dehydration rate is 67.48% with the relatively error of just 0.73 percentage point. The moisture content after drying is less than 8.12%, which satisfies the technological requirements of following processes.
