Sonochemistry: Environmental Science and Engineering Applications
Abstract
Sonochemical engineering is a field involving the application of sonic and ultrasonic waves to chemical processing. Sonochemistry enhances or promotes chemical reactions and mass transfer. It offers the potential for shorter reaction cycles, cheaper reagents, and less extreme physical conditions, leading to less expensive and perhaps smaller plants. The amount of things that can be accomplished with sonochemistry is, at this stage, only limited by the minds of those working in this exciting field. Existing literature on sonochemical reacting systems is chemistry-intensive, and applications of this novel means of reaction in environmental remediation and pollution prevention seem almost unlimited. For example, environmental sonochemistry is a rapidly growing area that deals with the destruction of organics in aqueous solutions. However, some theoretical and engineering aspects are not fully understood. This paper reviews the field comprehensively by combining the existing knowledge from chemistry with insights into the pathways and kinetic analysis of environmental sonochemical reacting systems and with challenges for large-scale applications. The review is intended to advance our understanding and outline directions for future research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
