Ultrasound-assisted dissolution of the solid phase in heterogeneous samples

Ultrasound-assisted dissolution of the solid phase in heterogeneous samples 

Another frequent mistake in this context is to use face and phase indifferently. A case in point is the description of a method for the quantitative mechanistic study of ultrasonically enhanced reactions which occur at the solid-liquid interphase [56]. 

Dissolution of solid phases in clinical samples is possibly one of the areas of greatest success for US [57-59], as is biochemical field cell lysis [60]. 

Beyond the scope of this book, but also worth mentioning, is the use of US to assist heterogeneous organic reactions involving a metal as a reagent or catalyst, which is discussed in some detail in Chapter 5 [37-39].
