Editorial

In this issue we are highlighting the work carried out at the National Centre for Industrial Microwave Processing at Nottingham University which is part of the School of Chemical, Environmental and Mining Engineering (SChEME). Amongst the numerous areas being studied at the Centre Professor Sam Kingman focuses on the treatment of rocks and oil polluted drill cuttings using microwave energy.

Other areas include thermal desorption and pyrolysis. Sam Kingman stresses that success in these applications necessitates multidisciplinary teams working closely together in order to bring to bear the various expertise needed for large scale industrial processing.

From everybody at AMPERE we wish you a prosperous New Year.
