Abstract:Ultrasonic waves (USW) are often applied in order to clean the surface of items such as glass ware and also to help dissolving chemicals in water or solvents. It is well known that USW produced in a fluid create a series of compression waves and partial vacuum bubbles are formed and collapse releasing extremely high energy. Here we report that a simple system consisting of only methanol (MeOH) and pure water sonochemically releases CO 2 under agitation by USW. Application of USW caused immediate and continuous… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
