The chemical effects of ultrasound

The use of high intensity ultrasound to enhance the reactivity of heterogeneous, liquid-solid reactions has become a routine synthetic technique. Typically, ultrasound reduces reaction temperatures and increases rates of reaction while improving product yields. In spite of this, our understanding of the nature and range of sonochemistry is quite limited. The effects of ultrasound on liquid-solid interfaces include high speed liquid microjet impact, shock wave damage, enhanced mass transport near surfaces, and high velocity interparticle collisions.
