Investigation of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Sonochemistry for Destruction of Hazardous Waste.

DE2004827232

Publication Date	2004
Page Count	26
Abstract	The primary objective of this research project is to acquire a deeper fundamental knowledge of acoustic cavitation and cavitation chemistry, and in doing so, to ascertain how ultrasonic irradiation can be more effectively applied to environmental problems. The primary objective will be accomplished by examining numerous aspects of sonochemical systems and acoustic cavitation. During the course of the project, the research group will investigate sonochemical kinetics and reactive intermediates, the behavior of heterogeneous (solid/liquid) systems, and the significance of physical variables during sonolysis. An additional component of the project includes utilizing various techniques to image cavitation bubble cloud development.
