Sonochemical oxidation activity in 20-kHz probe systems: The effects of vessel shape, vessel wall thickness, and probe position.

ABSTRACT: As a follow-up to our previous studies aimed at optimizing the use of the 20 kHz probe system in chemical and environmental engineering processes, the effects of vessel shape, vessel wall thickness, and probe position on sonochemical oxidation activity in circular and rectangular acrylic vessels were investigated. Electrical and calorimetric powers were obtained, and the sonochemical oxidation activity was quantified using KI dosimetry (pseudo-zero-order reaction kinetics) under 42 geometric conditions. All the geometric conditions of vessel shape, wall thickness, and probe position significantly affected the magnitudes and trends of the sonochemical activity. The average power conversion efficiencies from electrical to calorimetric power were 47.9 ± 3.0 % and 50.3 ± 6.1 % for circular and
