Fundamental and Applied Aspects of Ultrasonics and Sonochemistry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Introduction to Ultrasound, Sonochemistry and Sonoelectrochemistry

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((ULSONO))

Abstract

The interaction between ultrasound and bubbles in a liquid generates acoustic cavitation, the growth and collapse of microbubbles. Acoustic cavitation generates strong physical forces and highly reactive radicals, which can be used for initiating chemical reactions and processing of various materials that include food, nanomaterials, etc. This chapter provides an overview of the fundamental aspects of acoustic cavitation and selected applications.
