Abstract
The objective of this study was to find the frequency that most effectively generates hydroxyl radical and to investigate the effect of solution volume on the oxidation of arsenite (As[III]) under the determined frequency. Based on the cavitation yield for hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical is formed most effectively under the frequency of 300 kHz. The experiment was performed with various solution volumes (334, 690, 1,046, and 1,401 mL) under 300 kHz. Results showed that as solution volume increased, kinetic constant for arsenite oxidation decreased. However, cavitation yield for arsenite decreased in small volumes (334, and 690 mL) but maintained or increased in large volumes (1,046, and 1,401 mL) over a set period of time (10, 30, and 60 min). Based on the kinetic constant result, it is more advantageous to oxidize arsenite in small volumes. However, according to the cavitation yield for arsenite, it is applicable to oxidize arsenite in large volumes over a long period of time.
