Degradation of bisphenol A using sonochemical reactions.

The sonochemical degradation of bisphenol A in aqueous solution, a suspected endocrine disruptor, which can cause several damages for humans, animals and the environment, was investigated at different ultrasonic intensities under air atmosphere. Bisphenol A (0.50mM) was completely degraded after 10, 3 and 2h of ultrasonic irradiation at a frequency of 404kHz, and intensities of 3.

A new development of dyestuffs degradation system using ultrasound.

Dyestuffs are often present in industrial wastewaters and can consist of hazardous substances which have a serious impact on the environment and personal health. This report describes a system developed to degrade these substances using sonochemical reactions. Ultrasonic frequencies of 118, 224, 404 and 651 kHz and power input values of 11.
