Sonochemistry: The effect of sonic waves on chemica l systems
Abstract
Sono chemistry is the application of ultrasound to chemical reactions
and processes. The mechanism causing sono chemical effects in liquids is the
phenomenon of acoustic cavitation. The chemical effects of ultrasound do not
come from a direct interaction with molecular species. Studies have shown that
no direct coupling of the acoustic field with chemical species on a molecular level
can account for sono chemistry or sono luminescence. Cavitation the formation,
growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles irradiated with sound is the impetus
for sono chemistry and sono luminescence. Sono chemistry can be performed by
using a bath (usually used for ultrasonic cleaning) or with a high power probe.
