Abstract
Acoustic noise spectra were studied for the first time in overheated water using sonohydrothermal reactor operating at 20kHz ultrasound in the temperature range from 25 to 200°C at the autogenic pressure of 1-14bar. The obtained results highlighted a dominating role of stable cavitation during ultrasonic treatment of hot water. Heating of sonicated water results in the formation of large number of nonlinearly oscillating bubbles synchronous with the driving frequency. At 200°C, the acoustic spectra also display strong subharmonic and multiple ultraharmonic bands. Moreover, cavitation bubbles formed at 200°C exhibit chaotic and random motions. It has been shown that the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles to hydrothermal water heated at 200°C allows to eliminate subharmonic/ultraharmonic bands and stochastic oscillations as well. This effect was assigned to Pickering-like bubble stabilization due to the particle accumulation at the bubble surface.
