Abstract:Sonochemistry is the use of ultrasonic waves in an aqueous medium, producing acoustic cavitation. In this context, sonochemistry emerged as a focal point over the past few decades, starting as a manageable process such as radar or cleaning technique; now, it is finding wide‐ranging applications across various chemical, physical, and biological processes, creating an opportunity area of analysis between these areas. Sonochemistry is a powerful and eco‐friendly technique often called “green chemistry” for less e… 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.
