A sonoelectrochemical device for the purification of waste water comprises an elongate anode 10 arranged along the central axis of a grounded reactor housing electrode 7 defining a treatment zone therein. A voltage is applied to water to be treated flowing through the treatment zone by applying a voltage across the anode and the electrically grounded reactor wall 1 which acts as a cathode. Piezoelectric transducers arranged on the outside of the chamber apply ultrasonic energy to the water flowing through the chamber. The combination of electrolysis and ultrasonic energy remove impurities from the water. A UV light source can also be incorporated for additional purification effect. A perforated channel 8 provides laminar flow within the chamber. |
