Titanium nitride and silicon nitride nanopowders are subjected to microwave treatment to stimulate reduction and nitration reactions. It is established that oxygen content of the nanopowders after microwave treatment is 30–60% lower than that of the starting powders. It is also studied how the efficiency of thermochemical treatment and the particle-size distribution depend on the amount of the phase that absorbs microwave energy.
