title: Sono-photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol in water: kinetic and energetic comparison with other techniques.
abstract: The degradation of 2-chlorophenol in water was kinetically investigated using the following different techniques, employed either separately or simultaneously, always with the same experimental set-up: light irradiation (315-400 nm), sonication, photocatalysis with different types of TiO2, photocatalysis with sonication. The influence of the reaction volume and of different gas mixtures, containing Ar and O2, as well as O2/O3, was also investigated. Finally, an energetic comparison among these different techniques was performed, focused on an industrial application of some of them.
