Increasing efficiency and treatment volumes for sonolysis of per- and poly-fluorinated substances, applied to aqueous film-forming foam
Ultrason Sonochem. 2024 Apr 1;105:106866. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106866. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSonolysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has recently matured to field studies, treating real world contamination. However, efficient sonolysis reactor designs are poorly researched. Moreover, the variety and complexity of PFAS pollution slows reactor optimisation and scale-up. In this work, the defluorination of 10.0 mg/L aqueous perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) was used as a model metric for the optimisation of; reactor volume (0.6 or 1.4 L), power density (100 - 350 W L-1), number of modular re...

Ultrason Sonochem. 2024 Mar 30;105:106864. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106864. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effects of ultrasound and different inulin (INU) concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/mL) on the structural and functional properties of soybean isolate protein (SPI)-INU complexes were hereby investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that SPI was bound to INU via hydrogen bonding. All samples showed a decreasing and then increasing trend of α-helix content with increasing INU concentration. SPI-INU complexes by ultrasound with an INU concentration of 20 mg/mL (U-2) had the lowest conten...

Prandtl and Ohnesorge numbers dependent of ultrasonic horn energy in Newtonian liquid under batch and continuous flow
This study attempts to assess the conversion of acoustic to thermal power experimentally and numerically using COMSOL Multiphysis@ for a 24 kHz horn-type sonicator through a medium without any sono-chemical effect. Single- and homogeneous two-phase Newtonian mixtures of sunflower oil and water (o/w) with a relatively wide range of density (914-998 kg/m3) and viscosity (0.5-63.5 mPa.s) were irradiated in a lab-scale vessel (1 L) under batch and continuous flow configuration. The direct influence of Pn (80-400 W) and o/w ratio (0-1) on temperature rise and subsequent thermo-physical properties of liquid and the indirect infl...
