Sonochemistry is the study of the chemical effects of ultrasound waves on chemical reactions. This field explores how ultrasound waves can be used to enhance or control chemical reactions, often leading to increased reaction rates, selectivity, and yields. Sonochemistry is utilized in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental remediation. Researchers in this area study the mechanisms and applications of ultrasound in chemistry, focusing on understanding the interactions between ultrasound waves and chemical substances.
