Abstract :
[en] Involvment of heterogeneous catalysts as promoters of carbohydrate conversions, in synergy with microwaves as the heating source, is reported. This paper deals with the application of ion-exchange resins, zeolites, clays and metal oxides as convenient mediators for key transformations of carbohydrates. A special emphasis is placed on the use of (doped) mineral supports, in solventless conditions, as clean promoters in combination with microwave dielectric heating.

Loss tangent (tan δ) is defined as the ratio between dielectric loss (ε″) and the dielectric constant (ε′) and is used to "quantify" the ability of a material to convert microwaves into heat energy at given temperature and frequency
