Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems

Despite the fact that chemical applications of ultrasound are now widely acknowledged, a detailed presentation of inorganic systems covering nano-particles, catalysis, aqueous chemistry of metallic solutions and their redox characteristics, both from a theoretical and experimental perspective has eluded researchers of this field.

Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems fills this gap and presents a concise and thorough review of this fascinating area of Sonochemistry in a single volume.

The influence of sonochemistry in almost every sphere of science and technology has been phenomenal. However, whilst several books have covered physical and organic sonochemistry, no single book has ever featured inorganic systems. Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems fills this gap by presenting a comprehensive and timely international multi-author overview of sonochemical processes which involve inorganic systems.

Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems presents a theoretical introduction in the first three chapters, provides recent applications in material science in the next four chapters, describes the effects of ultrasound in aqueous solutions in the following five chapters and finally discusses the most exciting phenomenon of sonoluminescence in aqueous solutions containing inorganic materials in the subsequent two chapters, before ending with basic introductory experiments of sonochemistry and sonoluminescence in the concluding chapter.

Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems is aimed at advanced researchers and fresh students.
