NON-DEGRADABLE SUBSTANCE DEGRADATION DEVICE USING ULTRASOUND AND DEGRADATION METHOD THEREOF
A non-degradable substance degradation device using an ultrasound according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a sample inflow unit into which a sample containing a non-degradable substance is introduced; a sample circulation unit having a circulation space connected to communicate with the sample inflow unit, and in which the sample moved through the sample inflow unit is circulated; and an ultrasound vibration unit surrounding at least a part of the sample circulation unit to be spaced apart from an outer surface of the sample circulation unit, and generating an ultrasound and providing the ultrasound to the sample circulated in the sample circulation unit to degrade the non-degradable substance of the sample.
Apparatus and methods for sonochemical degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
The present disclosure includes systems, devices, and methods for a reactor, such as a sonication reactor, for destruction of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). In one aspect of the disclosure, the reactor includes a housing having a base and one or more walls that cooperate to define a chamber and a transducer disposed the chamber. The transducer is configured to generate a plurality of sound waves such that when PFAS solution is disposed within the chamber, the sound waves propagate through the liquid and at least some of the one or more PFAS compounds are pyrolyzed or otherwise degraded. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
