Degradation research of p-Nitro-phenol (PNP) using new ultrasonic combination

Abstract

In this paper, a novel ultrasonic combination is proposed to degrade p-Nitro-phenol (PNP). The combination of two beams of ultrasonic wave, which are vertical to each other, generalized from ultrasonic transducers used in ozone environment. Since the ultrasonic field is enhanced by two beams of vertical ultrasonic waves, the degradation of PNP can be improved via the increasing hydroxyl generation. Experiment shows that the degradation is do better than that of the traditional simple ultrasonic transducers in the same electronic power.
