Ultrasound supported catalysis

Ultrason Sonochem. 2005 Jan;12(1-2):103-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2004.03.008.

Abstract

An overview on the application of ultrasound in several chemical reactions is given. Ultrasound is used in the preparation of catalysts for various reactions, i.e. dehydration reactions. The beneficial effect of ultrasound results in clean reactions and short reaction times. Criteria for scale-up are also discussed.
