Practical Sonochemistry

Sonochemistry can do lots of amazing things in many different fields - but how and where do you start with applying it? This thoroughly updated third edition of Practical Sonochemistry offers a ground-up introduction to the fundamentals applying power ultrasound to both lab and large-scale applications, methodically addressing the following questions: My laboratory does not have the equipment- what do I need? I have the equipment, but I have no idea how it works or how to use it- where do I start? I want to apply sonochemistry to a new reaction or processing method - what is the best approach? What types of sonochemistry equipment is available on the market and which is the best to choose? Can I scale up my reaction and if so, how do I do it, given that ultrasound is non-linear? Practical Sonochemistry: Applications of Power Ultrasound in Chemistry and Processing, Third Edition will be invaluable to anyone who wishes to use power ultrasound devices to synthesize or degrade chemical compounds. It conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound. The book written primarily for graduate students, postdoc researchers and academics in applied chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as technicians and operators in relevant industry.
