Physical Impacts of High Frequency of Ultrasound Wave on Sea, Brackish, Hot Spring and Municipal Water

Abstract

This study aims to apply the ultrasound technique in the field of clean technology to protect environment. The principle of ultrasound was conducted here to study the effect of applying high frequency of ultrasound waves. Four kinds of water namely; Seawater from Aqaba gulf, Red Sea, brackish from Maan desert southern part of Jordan, hot spring from northern part of Jordan and tap water (Amman City) were selected to study the effect of ultrasound on its physical properties. High ultrasound frequency device with 1.7 MHz was applied to study the effect of ultrasound waves. All conducted experiments were fixed at room temperature. The effect of liquid volume while applying a constant ultrasound waves on the water properties were investigated here. Exposing time of ultrasound waves was fixed at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 h. The experimental results showed that ultrasonic wave irradiation for different samples of water at different period of time has its significant impacts on physical and chemical properties of water such as pH, total dissolved solids and consequently the conductivity.
