Cavitation is like the phenomena of the formation, growth and subsequent collapse of micro-bubbles or cavities occurring in very tiny interval of time(milliseconds) cathartic giant magnitudes of energy at range of locations in the reactor.
Mechanism of Cavitation
- The destruction/oxidation of pollutants using cavitation is usually described by two approaches. These are as follows
- Free radical attack, and
- Pyrolysis
- Violent collapse of the cavities results in the formation of hydroxyl radical.
- Radicals attack the pollutants either in the caviting bubbles, bulk liquid or at the gas liquid interface.
- High temperature generated in the bubbles and breaks the chemical bond.
