Single-bubble sonoluminescence occurs when an acoustically trapped and periodically
driven gas bubble collapses so strongly that the energy focusing at collapse leads to light …

The use of ultrasonic cavitation combined with advanced oxidation processes to improve the
degradation efficiency of pollutants has received widespread attention. Thus far, most of …

Ultrasound (US) was shown to activate persulfate (PS) providing an alternative activation
method to base or heat as an in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) method. The kinetics and …

Ultrasound is efficient to enhance various mass transfer processes. This study demonstrates
that both ultrasound pretreatment and ultrasonication during adsorption promote the …

Sonochemistry is the use of ultrasound to enhance or alter chemical reactions.
Sonochemistry in the true sense of the term occurs when ultrasound induces “true” chemical …

Acoustic cavitation, the growth and rapid collapse of bubbles in a liquid irradiated with
ultrasound, is a unique source of energy for driving chemical reactions with sound, a …

Ultrasonic irradiation and the associated sonochemical and sonophysical effects are
complementary techniques for driving more efficient chemical reactions and yields …

Acoustic cavitation—the formation and implosive collapse of bubbles—occurs when a liquid
is exposed to intense sound. Cavitation can produce white noise, sonochemical reactions …

The sonochemical degradation of a variety of chemical contaminants in aqueous solution
has been investigated. Substrates such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides, phenols …

Propagation of an ultrasonic wave in liquid generates the formation of cavitation bubbles
which can grow and implode under the periodic variations of the pressure field. 1-4 In water …
