Nanostructured CoFe2O4 particles were prepared by a sonochemical approach, first by preparation of the amorphous precursor powders, followed by heat treatment at relatively very low temperatures. The precursor was prepared by sonochemical decomposition of solutions of volatile organic precursors, Fe(CO)5 and Co(NO)(CO)3, in Decalin at 273 K, under an oxygen pressure of 100-150 kPa. The amorphou...

In the chemical industry, 1,4-diethylene dioxide, commonly called dioxane, is widely used as a solvent well stabilizing agent for chlorinated solvents. Due to its high miscibility, dioxane ubiquitous water contaminant. This study investigates effectiveness of catalyst- and ultrasound (US)-assisted persulfate (PS) activation with regard degrading dioxane. As first step, composite catalyst was pr...

Gallium oxynitride (GaON) nanosheets for photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis are synthesized via direct solvothermal approach. Their FE-SEM revealed nanosheets morphology of GaON prepared at a reaction time of 24 hours at 180 °C. The elemental composition and mapping of Ga, O and N are carried out through electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The cubic structure of GaON nanosheets is el...

a new nano-sized lead(ii) coordination polymer, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2]n (1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)}, was synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) consist of metallocyclicchains formed by bridging no3- and 2-bpdh ligands. the thermal stability of compound was studied by thermal gravimetric and differen...

Abstract During drilling fluid preparation, ultrasonic oscillations were introduced into water-bentonite suspension incorporating sulfonated wood coal (SMC) by a specially designed device. The influences of on loss and rheological performances the as well mechanism action investigated. experimental results showed that filtrate volume decreased with increase time till certain extent then leveled...

High intensity ultrasound can be used for the production of novel materials and provides an unusual route to known materials without bulk high temperatures, high pressures, or long reaction times. Several phenomena are responsible for sonochemistry and specifically the production or modification of nanomaterials during ultrasonic irradiation. The most notable effects are consequences of acousti...

An ultrasonic dental descaling instrument has been characterised using sonochemical techniques. Mapping the emission from luminol solution revealed the distribution of cavitation produced in water around the tips. Hydroxyl radical production rates arising from water sonolysis were measured using terephthalate dosimetry and found to be in the range of mol min -1 , comparable with those from a s...

The sonochemical acceleration of bleaching of Rhodamine B by sodium hypochlorite has been studied using ultrasound intensities in the range 0-7 W cm(-2). Using a 20 kHz ultrasonic horn, it was shown that ultrasound could significantly shorten the treatment time and/or the concentration of hypochlorite required for the reaction. A number of intermediate species formed during the reaction have be...
