A method for recovering materials from waste or scraps through an improved microwave carbothermal process involves combining reagents of a carbothermal reaction to form a mixture to be subjected to heat treatment, the reagents including a component in which an element to be recovered is contained and a carbon-containing component, the component being contained within a waste material, placing the mixture in a crucible, placing the crucible in a refractory chamber having a side wall, a surface of the side wall being covered by a layer of microwave-sensitive material, and inserting the refractory chamber into a microwave oven. The carbothermal reaction is obtained in less time and with lower electricity consumption compared to typical carbothermal reactions.
