The decomposition of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) in water by means of ultrasound irradiation at 20 kHz was investigated. Experiments were conducted at surfactant concentrations of 175, 260 and 350 mg l-1, liquid volumes of 120, 170 and 220 ml, temperatures of 20, 30 and 45°C and applied...
