In the study of microwave heating, the complex permittivity of an ore is a critical factor. What do the real part (ε') and imaginary part (ε'') of permittivity respectively represent?

• The real part (ε') represents temperature; the imaginary part (ε'') represents pressure.
• The real part (ε') represents energy storage; the imaginary part (ε'') represents energy loss.
• The real part (ε') represents conductivity; the imaginary part (ε'') represents resistance.
• The real part (ε') represents energy loss; the imaginary part (ε'') represents energy storage.

Calcination is a process that involves heating an ore to drive off volatile components. How does this process typically affect the microwave heating properties of ores like manganese carbonate?

• Calcination reduces the microwave heating properties of manganese carbonate.
• Calcination has no effect on the microwave heating properties of manganese carbonate.
• Calcination weakens the microwave heating properties of manganese carbonate.
• Calcination typically enhances the microwave heating properties of manganese carbonate.

The study presents data for chromite ore at multiple frequencies. What does this data reveal about the relationship between microwave frequency and the ore's heating potential at high temperatures (above 1000 °C)?

• Higher microwave frequencies improve the heating potential of chromite ore at temperatures above 1000 °C.
• Microwave frequency has no effect on the heating potential of chromite ore above 1000 °C.
• Lower microwave frequencies enhance the heating potential of chromite ore at high temperatures.
• Higher microwave frequencies decrease the heating potential of chromite ore at elevated temperatures.

What is the phenomenon known as "thermal runaway," and which of the following ores is shown to exhibit this characteristic?

• Copper
• Graphite
• Aluminum
• Iron

According to the research, what is the general relationship between an ore's elemental composition and its microwave heating potential at high temperatures (1000 °C)?

• The elemental composition of an ore affects its microwave heating potential at high temperatures.
• All ores heat equally regardless of their elemental composition.
• Microwave heating potential is solely determined by the ore's size.
• The elemental composition has no impact on microwave heating.
