'Nano-bubbles' at Work
In the presence of an ultrasonic cavitation field, Ozone decomposes into two hydroxyl radicals and oxygen gas. The hydroxyl radical will oxidize all known organic compounds in a matter of nano-seconds.
Nano-sized cavitation bubbles implode, providing a liquid-gas interface in a reaction that instantaneously heats the liquid-gas to as high as 900° F, which in turn oxidizes all known organic compounds in 35-100 picoseconds (a picosecond is one trillionth of a second). This phenomenon, known as sonoluminescence, plays a key role in removal of flowback water by-products, so water can be recycled and reused for the hydraulic fracturing process.
