V. Ragaini et al., Sono-photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol in water: kinetic and energetic comparison with other techniques, ULTRASON SO, 8(3), 2001, pp. 251-258
The degradation of 2-chlorophenol in water was kinetically investigated usi
ng the following different techniques, employed either separately or simult
aneously, always with the same experimental set-up: light irradiation (315-
400 nm), sonication, photocatalysis with different types of TiO2, photocata
lysis with sonication. The influence of the reaction volume and of differen
t gas mixtures, containing Ar and O-2, as well as O-2/O-3, was also investi
gated. Finally, an energetic comparison among these different techniques wa
s performed, focused on an industrial application of some of them. (C) 2001
