Degradation of aqueous solution of potassium iodide and sodium cyanide in the presence of carbon tetrachloride

Ultrason Sonochem. 1997 Jul;4(3):245-53. doi: 10.1016/s1350-4177(97)00022-9.

Abstract

The degradation of potassium iodide, carbon tetrachloride and sodium cyanide has been studied using an ultrasounic probe of 20 kHz frequency. In the case of potassium iodide and sodium cyanide, the rate of degradation was much higher in presence of CCl4. The location of the ultrasonic horn showed a significant effect in the degradation of CCl4.
