The use of non-cavitating coupling fluids for intensifying sonoelectrochemical processes
2020
Abstract For the first time, we have investigated the beneficial effects of non-cavitating coupling fluids and their moderate overpressures in enhancing mass-transfer and acoustic energy transfer in a double cell micro-sonoreactor. Silicon and engine oils of different viscosities were used as non-cavitating coupling fluids. A formulated monoethylene glycol (FMG), which is a regular cooling fluid, was also used as reference. It was found that silicon oil yielded a maximum acoustic energy transfer (3.05 W/cm2) from the double jacketed cell to the inner cell volume, at 1 bar of coupling fluid overpressure which was 2.5 times higher than the regular FMG cooling fluid. It was also found that the…
Terpyridine-based metallopolymer thin films as active layer in ammonia sensor device
2016
International audience; A metal-containing polymer has been prepared by electropolymerization of an homoleptic Ru(II)-terpyridine complex bearing pyrrole heterocycles. The polymer is obtained as a thinfilm at the surface ofelectrodes, and has been characterized by electrochemical measurements, XPS and microscopy. It hasbeen shown that this polymer acts as an active gas sensitive layer since it enables the detection of anammonia gasflow through layer’s resistivity measurements.
Influence of pressure on ultrasonic cavitation activity in room temperature ionic liquids: An electrochemical study
2019
Abstract This paper provides proofs of the respective contributions of dissolved gases and solvent vapor on cavitation activity in sonoreactors. This activity can be detected by electrochemistry because the fluctuating events measured at the electrode surface are only linked to physical effects of cavitation. As ionic liquids present very low volatilities, their vaporization is reduced, and cavitation bubbles only depend on the presence of gases. Then, cavitation activity may be trigged by reactor atmosphere control. Applying severe depression within an irradiated ionic liquid medium contributes to removing dissolved gases, thus quenching cavitation activity. A specific sonoelectrochemical …
