Linum usitatissimum L a member of Linaceae family, which is used for various medical purposes. Microwave assisted processes are useful instruments for scientific and industrial applications because they provide faster reactions, higher yields, energy efficiency, and improved product quality when compared to conventional heating. Microwave-assisted synthesis is increasingly finding applications in chemistry laboratories due to its ability to shorten reaction times enhance throughput, and yield purer products. When ions and polar molecules are exposed to oscillating electric and magnetic fields, three primary heating processes take place dipolar polarisation, conduction, and interfacial polarisation. Only substances possessing the ability to absorb microwave radiation are influenced.
The two primary equipment types utilized are single-mode and multi-mode systems. Although they are utilized, terms such as microwave-enhanced chemistry and microwave-organic reaction enhancement are not familiar. Selective heating enables concentrated energy transfer because different materials absorb microwave radiation in different ways. Real-time reaction control and optimisation can also be achieved by integrating in-situ monitoring.
