Abstract
Multibubble sonoluminescence of water and a series of aromatic hydrocarbons, viz., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and m-xylene (at 25 °C), and a naphthalene melt (at 110–120 °C) was studied. An analysis of the influence of oxygen and argon on the sonoluminescence intensity and the luminescence spectra of these liquid compounds, as well as the effect of additives of ionol, ethanol, and 9,10-dibromoanthracene on m-xylene sonoluminescence, showed that a considerable contribution to the sonoluminescence of aromatic hydrocarbons is made by chemiluminescence reactions associated with their oxidation. This sonochemiluminescence is observed in both the gas phase of cavitation bubbles and the bulk solution where luminescence is retained for a long time after ultrasonication switching-off (the initial intensity of the residual chemiluminescence is up to 10% of the luminescence intensity during sonolysis). As for thermoinitiated oxidation, the afterglow of m-xylene contains the radical and molecular components.
