Zusammenfassung:A method of treating bulk particulate material with microwaves includes feeding microwaves into a microwave treatment zone defined between horizontally spaced microwave reflective side walls (22) to generate a microwave field which is uniform across the width of the treatment zone between the side walls (22), and feeding the bulk particulate material in the form of a bed (42) of the bulk particulate material, on an inclined vibrating or oscillating base or support (20) through the microwave treatment zone thereby to irradiate the moving bed (42) of bulk particulate material with microwaves in the treatment zone.
