INTRODUCTION Penicillin G (PG) is used in a variety of infectious diseases, extensively. Generally, when antibiotics are introduced into the food chain, they pose a threat to the environment and can risk health outcomes. The aim of the present study was the removal of Penicillin G from an aqueous solution through an integrated system of UV/ZnO and UV/WO3 with Ultrasound pretreatment. METHODS ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Azo dyes are employed in industrial processes such as textile industry to create large quantities of colored sewages that have organic and non-organic materials. So, remediation of them is essential. In this project, degradation and mineralization of Acid red 14 (AR14) that is a mono Azo dye and widely used in the textile industries was investi...

Combining ultrasonic irradiation and the Fenton process as a sono-Fenton process, chemical oxygen demand (COD) in refinery wastewater was successfully eliminated using response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD). The impact of two main influential operational parameters (iron dosage reaction time) on COD removal from generated by an Iraqi petroleum facility explored. ...

Multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) is the light generated during the implosive collapse of many bubbles in liquids irradiated with ultrasound.1 Recently, we have investigated the single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) of sulfuric acid, which is >1000 times brighter than prior SBSL, and discovered new emission lines (i.e., noble gas neutrals and ions, O2, SO); from these lines, temperatures grea...

A degradation study of diazepam (DZP) in aqueous media by gamma radiation, high frequency ultrasound, and UV radiation (artificial-solar), as well with each process intensified oxidizing agents (H2O2 Fenton reagent) was performed. The parameters that influence the such potency frequency, irradiation dose, pH concentration used were studied. Gamma performed a 60Co source irradiator; an 11 W lamp...

Advanced oxidation processes are promising techniques for water remediation and degradation of micropollutants in aqueous systems. Since single such as sonolysis photocatalysis exhibit limitations, combined AOP systems can enhance efficiency. The present work addresses the synergistic intensification potential an ultrasound-assisted (sonophotocatalysis) bisphenol A with a low-frequency sonotrod...
