In this work, the degradation of Basic Red 29 (BR29), an azo dye, was investigated using a high-frequency ultrasonic reactor (300 kHz). The influence of several parameters such as initial substrate concentration (5–200 mg L−1) , pH (3–10.1), ultrasonic power (20–80 W), and nature of the dissolved gas (Ar, air, and N2) on the degradation of BR29 was assessed. Additionally, the impact of natural ...

The degradation of cephalexin in aqueous solution under ultrasound irradiation was investigated. Biodegradability of the solution was evaluated by the BOD5/COD ratio, which was raised from zero to 0.36 after ultrasound treatment, indicating that the ultrasound irradiation process is a successful pre-treatment step to improve the biodegradability of cephalexin solution. The influences of ultraso...

in this pepper fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a fast microwave method. then fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites were synthesized by a sonochemical-assisted method. the prepared products were characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. the photocatalytic behaviour of fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites was evaluated using the degrad...

Little is known about the efficacy of pulsed ultrasound compared with continuous ultrasound. Previous studies on the efficacy of pulsed ultrasound were not systematic and gave different results. In this study, the effects of pulse length, pulse interval, pulse length × pulse intervals, and treatment time on sonochemical activity were investigated using a simple oxidation of iodide method and a ...
