Laboratory Equipment Based on the Ultrasonic Cleaning Bath 

Some of the problems associated with using a commercial cleaning bath can be overcome using an ultrasonic bath purpose built for sonochemistiy. Typically these baths are designed with a large area transducer in the base and external cooling/thermostat-ting (Fig. 7.9). 

The reaction is performed in the bath itself and is therefore subjected to direct sonication. The acoustic field is more regular throughout the reacting system as a single flat emitting face is used. The vessel itself is enclosed and can be equipped with the
