Treatment with Ultrasound of EDTA-Containing Liquid Waste

Sumit Kumar

The disposal and treatment of liquid waste containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) present significant challenges due to its complex structure and environmental persistence. This abstract highlights the potential of ultrasound-assisted treatment as a promising approach for efficient remediation of EDTA-containing liquid waste. Ultrasound generates high-frequency sound waves that induce cavitation, resulting in the degradation of organic compounds. The benefits of ultrasound treatment include enhanced degradation, reduced treatment time, energy efficiency, and versatility. Challenges such as parameter optimization and by-product formation need to be addressed. Future research should focus on scale-up studies and integration with complementary technologies. Ultrasoundassisted treatment shows promise for effective and sustainable remediation of EDTA-containing liquid waste, contributing to a cleaner environment and ecosystem protection.
