Sonochemical degradation for toxic halogenated organic compounds.
This paper describes the degradation of p-chlorophenol using three different ultrasonic devices. The dissipated power in the reaction matrix was measured based on calorimetric method. The study showed that hydrogen peroxide can improve the sonochemical reaction and gases dissolved in reaction matrix can affect the process to a small extent. The reaction mechanism and kinetics of degradation were also investigated.
