## Abstract In this study, the effect of power of ultrasound, temperature, and concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution on the rate of ultrasonic degradation were investigated, and a kinetic model based on viscometry data was used to calculate the rate constants in different conditio

โฆ Synopsis
The kinetics of ultrasonic degradation has been investigated for dilute polystyrene solutions in decalin. The increase in the scission rate constant (K) with initial molecular chain length was systematically investigated over 2 decades of molecular weight by using narrow polymer fractions with M = 50 x 103-6 19
8.5 x 10 Da. An empirical relation of the form K ~ (M -Mlim) " , with Mli m ---~ 30000, was found for 50 ร 103 < M < 2.2 x l0 p. The rate constant becomes independent from M at higher molecular weight. This complex behaviour is rationalized by establishing a parallelism between transient elongational flow and ultrasonic degradation.

The problem of trihalomethane formation now exists with the use of chlorine (technically, a mixture of HOCl and OC1-, depending on pH) as a disinfectant in drinking water. Monochloramine (NHzC1) may be considered as an alternative to HOCl as a disinfectant in public water supplies. This study was co
