Abstract
The decomposition kinetics of potassium persulfate in aqueous solution have been investigated using a radical trapping method. The use of ultrasound was found to markedly accelerate the decomposition so that the sonochemical process at 25°C occurs at the same rate as the purely thermal reaction at 55°C. The effect of ultrasound intensity has also been studied and can be used to control the rate of decomposition within certain limits.
