Abstract
In this laboratory, we have been studying the decomposition of methylene blue contained in aqueous solutions containing organic matter (methylene blue) when the solutions are atomized (misted) and irradiated with ultraviolet LEDs. Irradiating a methylene blue aqueous solution with ultraviolet LED has a little decomposition effect. However, we report on the difference in the decomposition effect of misting methylene blue solution when irradiated with a deep ultraviolet LED. The results of this study suggest that misting increased the probability of contact between methylene blue and chemically active species that cause organic degradation.
