We have used batch mode ultrasonic assisted adsorption experiments were conducted to study the methyl orange dye removal efficiency using some adsorbent. For each experiment, 100 mL of MO dye solution with prefixed concentration and pH were taken into a beaker and a suitable adsorbent dose was mixed with the solution. Thereafter the mixture solution was sonicated for a prefixed time by using an ultrasonic bath reactor (Rivotek, India) operated at an ultrasound frequency of 30 kHz. The ultrasonic bath reactor was having heater power of 130 W and ultrasound power of 50W, respectively. However the heater power was not used in this study as all the experiments were conducted at room temperature. The volume of water in the ultrasonic bath was 1.5 L.
Now we need to measure the intensity of ultrasound in the reaction vessel (i.e. in the beaker itself) during the reaction. Please provide the steps to measure the intensity of ultrasound in the beaker.
i never used them before but there exist something call Ultrasonic Energy Meter , and i am seeing that maybe you can get one of this devices and introduce the tip in your beaker and measure the intensity of the ultrasound inside of it, here is a link of the equipment:
