Application and Advancements in Sonochemistry and Cavitation-A Review

Abstract

The research on sonochemistry and cavitation is finding increasing importance in the field of process intensification. The research has been reported in order to synthesize various products like nanomaterials by using this technique. Also the research has been reported in order to study the effects of various parameters like frequency, intensity (acoustic pressure), solvent, bubbled gas, external parameter (temperature, pressure) on cavitation and bubble collapse. This review presents the summery of the research carried out in this field with respect to affecting parameters, applications and modelling.
