Ultrasound system can remove common plastic pollutant from water

Researchers at a Scottish university have found a new way to remove a common pollutant from water using controlled waves of ultrasound, without the use of additional chemicals.

Glasgow Chemists Harness Dual-Frequency Ultrasound to Mineralize BPA in Water

Glasgow Chemists Harness Dual-Frequency Ultrasound to Mineralize BPA in Water (IN BRIEF) Researchers at the University of Glasgow’s School of Chemistry have developed a novel, catalyst-free ultrasound method to destroy bisphenol A (BPA) in water. By applying two ultrasound frequencies simultaneously, their prototype generates cavitation bubbles that reach extreme temperature and pressure, breaking BPA down into harmless carbon dioxide. In labora…
