The mechanism of ultrasonic degradation is still obscure, but it is well accepted that cavitation bubbles are mainly responsible for the degradation. The intense shear field generated by the collapse of the cavitation bubbles induces chain scission. Most of investigations on ultrasonic degradation have been carried out at low ultrasonic frequency around 20kHz. In this work, the ultrasonic degradation of methyl cellulose in aqueous solution was studied at two frequencies (20kHz and 500kHz) at the constant calorimetric power (20W) and temperature (25℃). The time variation of the average molecular weights and the molecular distribution were determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). The mass average molecular weights (M_w) decreases with sonication time. The large lowering of M_w was observed at the frequency 500kHz. The degradation rate was suppressed by the addition of t-BuOH which act as a radical scavenger. The ultrasonic degradation rate coefficient k_d was estimated and compared with the results of other water-soluble polymers. The order of k_d value were PEO > Dextran 〓 Pullulan > MC. We will discuss on the frequency effects on the ultrasonic degradation.

We have re-examined the frequency dependence of the cavitation threshold for air-saturated water and organic solvents. Cavitation threshold was estimated by observation of generation of cavitation from the results of the polymer degradation effect and acoustic spectrum. We used direct irradiation type and indirect irradiation type ultrasonic reactor in this experiment. All experiments were performed in the driving power 0.5〜50W, fluid volume 50mL, the driving frequency 20kHz〜5MHz. Cavitation threshold which is calculated from the results of the polymer degradation was larger than the cavitation threshold, which is calculated from the acoustic spectrum measurement. Regardless of solvents, in the frequency range below 45kHz, cavitation threshold decreased with increasing the frequency. Further, in the frequency range above 45kHz, cavitation threshold gradually increased with increasing the frequency.
