The chemical processes a major adverse effect to the environment is the consumption of energy for heating and cooling. To overcome these problems it is highly desirable to develop efficient methods that use alternative energy sources such as ultrasound or microwave irradiation to facilitate chemical reactions. In particular, the use of microwave energy to directly heat chemical reactions has become an increasingly popular technique in the scientific community. A recent study comparing the energy efficiency of conventional heating and microwave-assisted synthesis has indicated that for most...
