Sonochemical destruction of chlorinated hydrocarbons in dilute aqueous solution

A description is given of equipment used to study the destruction of chlorinated hydrocarbons in dilute aqueous solution by application of homogeneous ultrasound. Results obtained for methylene chloride are summarized in graphs. The pH value of the solution decreased rapidly, suggesting that hydroge...

Description
Summary:A description is given of equipment used to study the destruction of chlorinated hydrocarbons in dilute aqueous solution by application of homogeneous ultrasound. Results obtained for methylene chloride are summarized in graphs. The pH value of the solution decreased rapidly, suggesting that hydrogen chloride was produced. Similar results were obtained for carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene in concentrations in 100-1000 ppmv range.
