Effects of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride for sonochemical degradation on1,4-benzoquinone and hydroquinone in aqueous solution

1,4-benzoquinone, with the molecular formula C6H4O2, is generally known as a para-quinone. It is a six-member ring compound with an oxidized derivative known as 1,4-hydroquinone, which is a bright yellow crystal that has an irritating odour. On the other hand, hydroquinone, also known as benzene-1,4...
