Ultrasound in Environmental Protection focuses on one of the more significant developments in the subject - environmental remediation - providing an overview on both the fundamentals and applications of ultrasound in environmental protection, incorporating recent research and state-of-the-art information on the scientific basis, modes of use, and engineering developments.  A broad spectrum of topics are covered: reactor design, sonochemical pollutant degradation, integrated unltrasonic/ biological treatment, ultrasound in disinfection, leaching by ultrasound, and ultrasonically enhanced removal of suspended solids. Ultrasound is generated and applied at frequencies from 20 kHz to several MHz. The physio-chemical parameters of the sonicated media, reactor design, applied intensity, and duration of sonication, dramatically influence the effects that can be achieved.  It is hoped that this compilation will contribute to a better understanding and further development of sonochemistry as a clean technology not only for environmental remediation but also more generally. The foundation of this compilation was formed during a workshop that was held at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Germany, in March 1999. This was the first workshop to be devoted to 'Ultrasound in Environmental Engineering' and brought together experience and knowledge from a broad spectrum of disciplines including chemistry, biology, engineering, equipment manufacturing, and plant design.

This book addresses the future development of ultrasound in  food processing, covering both High Power (material altering) and Low  Power (non-destructive testing) applications. Leading work is  presented for a non-expert audience, so that people in industry and  academia can make informed decisions about future research and the  adoption of ultrasound techniques. It will be of particular interest  to food manufacturing personnel responsible for process development,  engineering and research. It will be invaluable for scientists and  technologists involved in active ultrasound research and instrument  manufacture.

<p>This updated version of Practical Sonochemistry for advanced students and teachers in chemistry and chemical engineering conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound. Equipment now on the market offers a wider range of frequencies with more reproducible experimentation and a variety of scale-up systems. The book provides detailed descriptions of newer ultrasonic equipment and its applications, and practical laboratory uses of ultrasound technology for industrial scale performance.<br><br>Modern exercises familiarise readers with recent sonochemical operations. The book also includes methods for estimating ultrasonic energy entering the system (dosimetry), which will standardise sonochemical methodology and enable practitioners to reproduce results from other laboratories.</p>
