Advanced oxidation process in general and hydrodynamic cavitation, in particular, has emerged as a promising technology for the treatment of wastewater in the last few years as the process is energy-efficient and cost-effective. In this process, cavities are generated due to local pressure drops caused by constrictions. This work aimed to investigate the potential of hydrodynamic cavitation as a tertiary treatment to treat the secondary sedimentation tank effluent of a sewage treatment plant, with two laboratory-scale experimental setups having an orifice plate of a 1 mm diameter hole. The process dependency was estimated by optimizing inlet pressure (0.8 bar for setup I and 5 bar for setup II). Moreover, effective orifice jet length was varied to investigate the impact of fluid buoyancy force on expansion and collapse of a cavity on the chemical oxygen demand removal and disinfection potential. At L length (two-thirds of the original length), both setups can degrade the organic and inorganic pollutants to the maximum extent. With the optimum condition in setup II, maximum COD, TSS, and fecal coliform degradation were 80.47%, 62.83%, and 52.27%, respectively, compared to setup I.

We investigated the production of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) in solutions undergoing treatment using CaviPlasma (CP) technology. This technology combines plasma discharge with hydrodynamic cavitation. This study focused on factors such as pH, conductivity, presence of salts and organic matter affecting ROS formation and their stability in solutions.

Cavitation-based technologies, such as ultrasound (or acoustic cavitation, AC) and hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), are gaining interest among green processing technologies due to their cost effectiveness in operation, toxic solvent use reduction, and ability to obtain superior processed products, compared to conventional methods. Both AC and HC generate bubbles, but their effects may differ and it is difficult to make comparisons as both are based on different phenomena and are subject to different operational variables. AC is one of the most used techniques in extraction and homogenization processes at the laboratory level.

In this study, hydrodynamic cavitation technology was utilized to prepare conjugates of soy protein isolate (SPI) with polyphenols, including resveratrol (RA) and polydatin (PD) from the stilbene category, as well as arctiin (AC) and magnolol (MN) from the lignan category. To investigate the effects of hydrodynamic cavitation treatment on the interactions between SPI and these polyphenols, the polyphenol binding capacity with SPI was measured and the changes in the exposed sulfhydryl and free amino contents were analyzed. Various methods, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, were also used to characterize the structural properties of the SPI-polyphenol conjugates.

This study investigates the effect of hydraulic shock waves on inactivation of MS-2 bacteriophage, a norovirus surrogate. A falling circular jet of water spiked with the MS-2 (∼1000 PFU/mL) was repeatedly impacted by a rotating blade, resulting in occurrence of hydraulic shock waves within the liquid region adjacent to the impact. The proof-of-concept rotational generator of hydraulic shock treating 9 L of water spiked with viruses was able to achieve 3 logs reduction of viral plaque count within 80-100 liquid passes at moderate blade impact velocities (namely, 70 and 88 m/s) despite the water temperature not exceeding 40 °C and no detectible cavitation.

This study aims to optimize the reduction of free fatty acids (FFAs) in palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) using hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (HCRs) in series and a solid acid catalyst for biodiesel production. Hydrodynamic cavitation is used to accelerate the esterification of FFAs using a heterogeneous acid catalyst. There are three HCRs units, and each HCR composed of a 3D-printed rotor and stator, is separated by flanges and equipped with a basket for holding Amberlyst-15 catalyst.
