The influence of ultrasonic waves on manganese dioxide sol in the atmosphere of nitrogen

Abstract

The influence of ultrasonic waves at 1 MC/sec and 225 watts/cm2 power on the negatively charged manganese dioxide sol has been investigated in an atmosphere of nitrogen and thereby excluding oxygen. The stability of the sol on exposure to ultrasonic waves is affected in a similar way as in presence of air but the extent to which the sol gets unstable on exposure is less in the absence of oxygen than in its presence. The specific conductivity increases but hydrogen ion concentration remains practically constant as the time of exposure increases.
