This study aims to investigate the effect of hybrid heating on the denitration reaction of a nickel nitrate aqueous solution to evaluate the feasibility of hybrid heating method with an alumina jacket containing carbon nanotube (CNT) as a microwave heating medium. When an alumina jacket without CNT was used, the temperature decreased and the denitration reaction stopped due to the formation of an intermediate product Ni(NO)(OH) with low dielectric loss. Whereas, when an alumina jacket containing 0.2 mass% CNT was used, the denitration reaction was completed and nickel oxide particles were obtained. It is presumed that the denitration reaction proceeds by heat conduction from the CNT-containing alumina jacket because the jacket is selectively heated by microwaves more than the Ni(NO)(OH). It is clarified that hybrid heating can be realized by a CNT-containing alumina jacket.
