Perspectives of Treatment of Water Environments from Pollutants with Ultrasound-Activated Bentonites

The paper analyzes the perspectives for natural sorbents to be used in environmental technologies. The object of the study is the clay rock from the left side of the upper Pivdennyi Bug river (in the vicinity of the Khmelnytskyi city). The rock was enriched in montmorillonite by centrifugation of a clay suspension to obtain the fraction with a size of less than 5∙10-6 m. The researchers defined the mineral composition of the enriched clay based on the findings of the X-ray diffraction and complex thermal analyses.

Characterization, Antioxidant Activity, and In Silico Molecular Docking of Chitosan from Snail Shell Waste by Ultrasonic Technique

Snails are often found in Indonesia, especially at Kediri, but the snail shell has no commercial value. This research report describes the characterization and antioxidant activity of chitosan from snail shell waste (chitosan-SSW) by ultrasonic technique and analyzes the potential of chitosan as an inhibitor of receptors of free radicals using an in silico molecular docking method.

Synthesis of Antibacterially ActiveSilver Nanoparticles by Galvanic Replacement on Magnesium in Solutions of Sodium Polyacrylate in an Ultrasound

“Green” synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by a galvanic replacement (GR) on magnesium in solutions of sodium polyacrylate (NaPA) under ultrasound (42 kHz) is reported. The mechanism of combined action of GR and ultrasound on the formation of nanoparticles is proposed. Synthesized solutions of AgNPs are characterized by an absorption maximum at 410 nm, the value of which does not depend on the concentrations of precursors (AgNO3 and NaPA) and the duration of the process. The dimensions of nanoparticles that have a spherical shape do not exceed 30 nm.

AN INFLUENCE OF CAVITATION PHENOMENA ON THE DESTRUCTION PROCESSES OF ORGANIC AND BIOLOGICAL POLLUTIONS IN THE WATER

The regularities of cavitation treatment of food and chemical industries wastewater from organic and biological contaminants in the presence of gases of different nature were studied. The optimal temperature range 313K - 318 K for cavitation wastewater treatment was established. It is shown that the process of cavitation destruction of organic compounds can be described by a first - order kinetic equation.

Establishment of the Regularities of the Concentrations Change of Microorganisms and Water-Soluble Compounds in Polluted Water after Ultrasound Treatment

The regularities of the change of the concentration of microorganisms and water-soluble organic compounds in the polluted water in the conditions of cavitation treatment and the influence of the amount of biological water pollution on the value of the chemical oxygen consumption are investigated.

INFLUENCE OF ULTRASOUND ON THE SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES BY GALVANIC REPLACEMENT IN SODIUM POLYACRYLATE SOLUTIONS

Sonogalvanic replacement and galvanic replacement synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by magnesium scrap in sodium polyacrylate solutions were studied. It was found that during these processes in NaPA solutions silver is practically not deposited on the magnesium surface. Sodium polyacrylate provides stabilization of AgNPs with the formation of yellow solutions with maximum absorption of ~415 nm.

The Ultrasonic Effect on Obtaining and Properties of Osteoplastic Porous Composites

The grafted copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate to polyvinylpyrrolidone in the presence of mineral fillers (hydroxyapatite, montmorillonite and wollastonite) under ultrasound has been investigated. The effect of ultrasound, nature and amount of mineral filler on the polymerization rate and composition of copolymers has been determined. Ultrasound substantially intensifies the polymerization process and actively affects the formation of the copolymer composition. Under its action, a porous structure of composites is formed, even without adding special foaming agents.

Partial case of thermochemical analysis of cavitation sonolysis of water

The mechanism of water sonolysis with the formation of both intermediates (free radicals) and basic products (hydrogen and oxygen), which are important for thermal power engineering and water purification technologies, based on the use of advanced oxidation processes, wasresearched. The efficiency of hydroxyl radical generation in the environment of inert gases and oxygen was analyzed.

The article analyzes the topicality of the primary standard creation of the ultrasonic pressure unit in water for the frequency  range of 0.5–10.0 MHz  in Ukraine.  Its creation  is predetermined by  the necessity of  the exploited ultrasound medical equipment metrological maintenance as well as for the assessment of compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations for medical products to be exploited.

Kinetics of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Anthocyanin from Purple Roselle Calyces under different pH Conditions

This research presents that the higher temperature results on higher extracted anthocyanin. In addition, it was found that pH 2 was preferable for obtaining greater anthocyanin content. Employing the second-order kinetics model in this research confirmed the good fitting of the model and experimental data.
