A novel high-frequency, high-power, pilot-plant scale sonochemical reactor was developed and used to study the degradation of dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, phenol, and methyl orange in aqueous solutions. The degradation rates of trichloroethylene, dichloromethane, and phenol were found to exceed those of similar frequency, small-scale bench reactors by factors ranging from 2.5 to 7. The d...

High intensity ultrasound has been applied to two classes of step-growth polymerisation. The ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic lactones to polyesters was accelerated under 20 kHz ultrasound but, in the case of delta-valerolactone, sonication also promoted a depolymerisation reaction so that the molecular weight fell during later stages of the reaction. Sonication was also applied to the pre...

Describes the ability a managing the symmetric sonochemical reactor for physic-chemical treatment of chemically pure water, true and colloidal aqueous solutions, as well as disperse systems with the speed of sound in them more than at water. Such reactors are useful, for example, in the food industry, where are processed of different concentrations the solutions NaCl. Demonstrated that the deve...

In the present study, ZnO nanostructure has been synthesized by different methods, namely coprecipitation, hydrothermal and sonochemical methods. After comparison of the morphology and photocatalytic activity of ZnO samples prepared via different methods, the best method (sonochemical method) was used for synthesis of Ni-ZnO nanoparticles with different concentrations of nickel. Furthermore, st...

in this investigation, hydroxyapatite (hap) nanostructure with uniform morphologies, controllable size, nano-dispersion and narrow-size distribution in diameter has been synthesized successfully by low-temperature hydrothermal process, and the as-synthesized powders were characterized by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron mi...

Sphere-like cadmium molybdate (CdMoO4) nanostructures have been synthesized by a large scale and simple sonochemical method by using Cd(Sal)2 (Sal=salicylidene) and Na2MoO4.2H2O for the first time. The effects of sonochemical irradiation time, sonochemical power, temperature, solvent, surfactant and cadmium source were considered to obtain a controlled shape. The as-prepared nanostructured cadm...

Silver oxide (Ag2O) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized through several methods, namely sol-gel, sonochemical, and biological methods. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the sonochemical method produces silver with high phase purity, then sol-gel another phase, crystals, while Ag3PO4 from precursor media. The research showed had smallest crystallite particle sizes of 9.5 232.7...

in the current study, synthesis and characterization of a new nano-structured zirconium(iv)-minoxidil complex (1), where minoxidil, (c9h15n5o; 6-(1-piperidinyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine 3-oxide), have been investigated in two different solvents. the compound 1 has been synthesized by sonochemical method in the presence of methanol and monoethylene glycol (meg) as solvents and characterized by scan...
