title: Simplified theory of microwave drying of alkali metal silicate solutions with arbitrary values of SiO2/M2O mole ratio.
abstract: In this work an extension of the simplified theory of microwave drying of silicate solutions to arbitrary values of SiO2/M2O mole ratio was introduced, and good agreement between theoretical results and new experimental data for a broad range of values of SiO2/M2O mole ratio was obtained.
