摘要
The degradation of an organic dye molecule (specifically meldola blue, MDB) is reported under the influence of power ultrasound in combination with electrochemically-generated hydrogen peroxide. A novel flow system is employed to measure the degradation as a function of time while minimising the disturbance to the acoustics of the sonoelectrochemical reactor employed. The effect of adding Fe2+ to the rate of dye degradation is measured and demonstrated to be significant. Under optimum conditions the rate constant for dye degradation was found to reach a maximum value of (23.7 +/- 0.35) 10(-3) min(-1) assuming pseudo-first order kinetics. The rate constant for the complete destruction of MDB, determined by chemical oxygen demand, was found to be significantly slower at (10.2 +/- 2.6) 10(-3) min(-1).
