title: Aquasonolysis of selected cyclic C(6)H(x) hydrocarbons.
abstract: Aquasonolysis rates and products of selected cyclic C(6)H(x) hydrocarbons, benzene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, and methylcyclopentane have been investigated. The sonolysis of selected compounds in aqueous solution follows first-order kinetics, and the aquasonolysis rate correlated well with the water solubility. The degradation rate decreased with the increase of initial concentration. The effect of initial concentration on the degradation of cyclohexene was more significant than that of benzene. The transfer process of organic solutes between cavitation bubbles and the bulk liquid affects the rates and products of their aquasonolysis.
