title: Spatiotemporal measurement using L-band ESR-CT system for water sonolysis in the presence of 1-Hydroxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide.
abstract: When using ESR to measure the radicals generated by ultrasound, it is necessary to extract a solution and place it in the ESR system. To avoid this process, we incorporated an ultrasonic reaction cell in an L-band ESR-CT system, producing a system that allows the detection of the concentration of radicals during ultrasonic irradiation. This system was used to measure the time and space dependences of OH radicals generated by ultrasonic irradiation. When a 10 ml aqueous solution of 1-hydroxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide (HTIO) was irradiated with ultrasound, it was found that the generation of radicals was clearly shown in a CT image after a period of 10 min. It was also found that continued irradiation resulted in an increased concentration of radicals. In addition to this system, an X-band ESR system was also used to measure the concentration of OH radicals generated, and the results of both systems were then compared. Both results are very similar, showing that the proposed system, which was realized by incorporating an ultrasonic irradiation cell in the L-band ESR-CT system, operated properly. Because this system allows the measurement of sonochemical reactions in an opaque cell or an opaque solution such as blood and industrial wastewater, it is a very useful measurement system for achieving the applying of sonochemistry to the medical engineering field.
