Utilization of hydrodynamic cavitation for water treatment

This bachelor thesis deals with the observation of features of cavitation with emphasis on the hydrodynamical cavitation and its use for eliminating unwanted and badly degradable compounds from water. Thanks to high temperature and pressures that are present at a colapse of cavitation bubbles the water decomposes into highly reactive hydroxile radicals which are able to decompose even. This effect can furthermore be strenghtened by the use of advanced oxidation processes – AOP. The experimental part of thesis is dedicated to examining a ability of hydrodynamical cavitation degrade particular chemical substance from water, namely estrogen
