Abstract
Chemical activation and process intensification is provided through ul trasonically-induced cavitation in a liquid medium, a process often de scribed as sonochemistry. Examples are chosen from a number of fields which illustrate the wide ranging applicability of this technology in the chemical and processing industries. Some practical industrial appl ications which use high-power ultrasound are reviewed.
