Prospects for the use of a microwave electromagnetic field for the creation of an ecological technology for the production of firing materials and the development of microwave energy

The article considers the causes of environmental problems in the energy sector. The increased demand for energy resources and the increasing shortage of natural fuels are leading to the search for renewable energy sources. The prospects of energy transmission by microwave radiation without wires as an alternative to traditional energy sources are considered. The article provides information on the results of research on obtaining a high level of energy transfer by a microwave beam from a geostationary orbit to the earth's surface in the near future, as well as developments in the field of creating a solar space power plant (SSP). The results of research on the sintering of inorganic substances in an electromagnetic field are presented, the prospects for this direction in materials science are considered. The results of sintering natural raw materials in a microwave field are considered. The formation of nanoscale phases in sintered compositions has been established. The effect of a low-melting mineralizing additive on the sintering process is shown. The increased strength characteristics of the samples obtained by high-speed firing in the microwave electromagnetic field, the prospects for developments in this direction for various types of materials are noted
