What is it about?
jet pump cavitation reactors are of great potential for the application of hydrodynamic cavitation in algal removal and chemical process intensification. An investigation on the cavitation initiation is the key to optimize the cavitation effects in the industrial field.

Why is it important?
we developed a criterion for cavitation initiation in jet pemp cavitation reactors . Based on the criterion, two different cavitation initiation mechanisms are predicted. We experimentally found two kinds of cavitation initiation and investigated the characterisitcs of two cavitation initiations under different cavitation conditions ans structural parameters.
Perspectives
JPCR could be applied not only in the fields of algal blooms control but also in the field of biomass production, biofuels production, ballast water treatment, water disinfection, etc, where cell disruption is needed. Further researches on the cell disruption mechanism, structural optimization, and scale-up are needed in the future.
