Sonochemical reactors: Review on features, advantages and limitations

Sonochemical reactors operate based on the release of high amount of energy from ultrasonic irradiations. More application in chemical processes are being developed using these reactors. But the potential of their applications are still limited largely due to the lack of understanding about their de...
