Hydrodynamic cavitation in microsystems. I. Experiments with deionized water and nanofluids

Use of hydrodynamic cavitation in (waste)water treatment.

The use of acoustic cavitation for water and wastewater treatment (cleaning) is a well known procedure. Yet, the use of hydrodynamic cavitation as a sole technique or in combination with other techniques such as ultrasound has only recently been suggested and employed. In the first part of this paper a general overview of techniques that employ hydrodynamic cavitation for cleaning of water and ...

Pollutant and Microorganism Removal From Water by Hydrodynamic Cavitation

Hydrodynamic cavitation can effectively remove organic pollutants and microorganisms from water. Organic compound degradation and water disinfection removal rate is related to reaction time and operating temperature. Removal rate can be improved by increasing the reaction time or raising the operating temperature. Under our experimental conditions, the removal rate of colority, COD and petroleu...

Reconsideration of the use of deionized water as vase water in postharvest experiments on cut flowers

The relevance of deionized water as a control treatment in vase life experiments and the effects of major tap water components on cut flower water balance were investigated. Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) was used in all experiments. Deionized water gave a sharp decrease in fresh weight of the cut flowers after 1–3 days. This decrease was absent in tap water. Afte...
