Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has been extensively investigated for effluent treatment applications. Performance of HC devices or processes is often reported in terms degradation organic pollutants rather than quantification hydroxyl (OH) radicals. In this study, generation OH radicals vortex based device using coumarin dosimetry was quantified. Coumarin used as the chemical probe with an initial concentration 100 µM (15 ppm). Generation quantified by analysing generated single hydroxylated...
A combination of hydrodynamic cavitation and photocatalysis (HC-PC) is a promising water treatment technology for the removal recalcitrant pollutants. In this work, we investigated influence key parameters hybrid such as initial concentration, catalyst loading, pH, re-circulating flow rate device/scale on degradation three model pollutants (coumarin, paracetamol dichloroaniline). Unlike previous HC-PC studies, individual combined systems were each parameter to determine their effect system...
