Electrochemical, luminescent and photographic characterisation of cavitation.
The characterisation of a small sonochemical reactor has been performed using electrochemical, luminescent and photographic techniques. The electrochemical experiments have employed a novel flow system to determine the formation of sonochemical products (in this case hydrogen peroxide) in semi-real time with high sensitivity. The rate of production of hydrogen peroxide is reported as a function of driving pressure amplitude. The degradation of an organic molecule, specifically the organic dye amaranth, within the sonochemical cell is also reported.
