Sonochemical degradation of CCl₄ in alcohol-water system.

ABSTRACT: In this study, methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), 1-propanol (PrOH), and ethylene glycol (EG) were used as alcohol-CCl₄ pretreatment solutions for the first time to investigate the effect of alcohol on the sonochemical degradation of CCl₄. The results showed that this pretreatment method provided the homogeneous dissolution of CCl₄ in aqueous solution in a short preparation time and the enhancement of the sonochemical degradation of CCl₄. In addition, the rate of the degradation of CCl₄ related to the hydrophobicity of the added alcohol. It was considered that high hydrophobic alcohol molecules accumulated at the interface region of cavitation bubbles contributed to the scavenging of •OH radicals produced by sonolysis of water and to the
