Abstract:Organic compounds in aqueous solution submitted to an ultrasonic irradiation behave differently according to their physical and chemical properties. In this work, hydrogen peroxide formation and the degradation rate of phenol and carbon tetrachloride have been studied at different frequencies: 20, 200, 500 and 800 kHz. Whatever the frequency, it is easier to decompose CCl4 than phenol by means of ultrasonic wave. It is shown that the rates of reactions involving hydroxyl radicals (hydrogen peroxide formation and phenol degradation) have a maximum value at 200 kHz. The best yield observed at 200 kHz for the phenol degradation may be the result of better HO radicals availability outside of the bubble of cavitation. The degradation rate for carbon tetrachloride which decomposes into the bubble of cavitation increases with frequency. Calculating the reaction rate for one ultrasonic period shows that the efficiency of one ultrasonic cycle decreases as frequency increases.
