To investigate the influence of the dielectric properties of a solution or a spacer on the heating process of the solution, a low dielectric Teflon or an airogel having a very low dielectric property almost equivalent to air was placed as a spacer directly below the vessel. And the influence of the geometry and the dielectric properties of the sample and the spacer on the heating properties of the sample were evaluated. The heating efficiency obtained by the experiment tended to decrease as the spacer height increased. It was confirmed that the heating efficiency obtained by the electromagnetic analysis almost agreed with the experimental results by a support height of 50 mm. When Teflon was used as a spacer, microwaves entered from the bottom of the solution, whereas when airogel was used as a spacer, microwaves tended to enter from the top of the solution, and it was clarified that the dielectric characteristics of the spacer were the heating characteristics of the sample.

The microwave heating denitration method is used in the nuclear fuel cycle. To clarify the mechanism of flashing phenomena during microwave heating, it was focused on the frequency of bubble nucleation in heterogeneous nucleation and considered the bubbles generated in the solution. From the visualization observation results, it was verified that a new bubble was generated below the single bubble. The bubbles generated at the gas-liquid interface are considered to be caused by heterogeneous nucleation. Moreover, the calculation results revealed that bubbles were generated at a large contact angle. It is suggested that many bubbles are generated at the gas-liquid interface, and many bubbles generated by heterogeneous nucleation in the superheated liquid phase influence the generation of flashing.

In the reprocessing process in the nuclear fuel cycle, a solution of plutonium nitrate and uranyl nitrate is converted into a mixed oxide by microwave heating denitration method. The objective of this study is to clarify the mechanism of the flashing phenomenon and to clarify the effect of the microwave heating characteristics of a high dielectric constant solution on the flashing phenomenon. Microwave heating experiments were conducted using KCl aqueous solution, which is the high dielectric constant solution simulating the reprocessing solution. It was clarified that the growth rate of bubbles in the KCl aqueous solution decreased with the time of microwave heating compared with distilled water. It is thought that in the KCl aqueous solution, the heating efficiency at the center of the solution is lower than that in the surroundings, and the growth rate of bubbles is reduced so that the flashing phenomenon does not easily occur in the high dielectric constant solution.
