What does sonication and sonichemistry look like in action? In this liquid, it looks like a color change. 🧪✨
The Hielscher UP400St sends high-power ultrasound through the sample, creating microscopic bubbles that collapse almost as quickly as they form. This process, called cavitation, produces powerful local mixing and reactive conditions throughout the liquid. 🫧
Researchers use cavitation to help reactions proceed, move substances between phases, disperse particles, and break apart agglomerates. Its applications range from synthesis and oxidation to extraction, emulsification, and catalyst activation.
The changing color allow to see the effect of ultrasonic processing as it happens.
