The acoustical device component is placed in water and is configured like a conventional impulse echo equipment. The ultrasound wave passed the delay path and enters the specimen container through a very thin plastic window. The backside of the container is a steel plate and will also be used as a reference reflector to measure pn.

Membranes and Osmosis. Membranes based on PEI can be used for the dehydration of organic solvents such as 2-propanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and toluene (451), and for concentrating seawater (452—454). On exposure to ultrasound waves, aqueous PEI salt solutions and brominated poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) form stable emulsions from which it is possible to cast membranes in which submicrometer capsules of the salt solution ate embedded (455). The rate of release of the salt solution can be altered by surface—active substances. In membranes, PEI can act as a proton source in the generation of a photocurrent (456). The formation of a PEI coating on ion-exchange membranes modifies the transport properties and results in permanent selectivity of the membrane (457). The electrochemical testing of salts (458) is another possible appHcation of PEI.

The interaction of ultrasound waves with microbubbles allows a drug (including genetic material for gene therapy [10]) to be released from the particles selectively at the desired insonified areas of the body, thus allowing targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Currently, this approach is still far from clinical application. 

By coupling an ultrasonic probe with a microwave reactor and propagating the ultrasound waves into the reactor via decalin introduced into their double jacket design, Chemat et al. studied the esterification of acetic acid with propanol and the pyrolysis of urea to afford a mixture of cyanuric acid, ameline and amelide (Scheme 9.19)136. Improved results were claimed compared to those obtained under conventional and microwave heating. The MW-US technique was also used to study the esterification of stearic acid with butanol and for sample preparation in chemical analysis137,138. 

The ultrasound wave is longitudinal in nature (i.e., the direction of propagation is the same as the direction of oscillation). Longitudinal sound waves cause compression and expansion of the medium at a distance of half the wavelength, leading to pressure variations in the medium. The resistance of the medium to the propagation of sound waves is dependent on the...

Chapter 4), and many more. The last imperative covers technologies that use centrifugal fields for contacting (Chapters 2 and 3), separations, and crystallization or that involve extremes of pressure and temperature, ultrasound waves, microwaves (for e.g., drying) and electric fields (for e.g., separation or dispersion). 

A mixed oxide of ruthenium, copper, iron and alumnium has been developed as a catalyst for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones from alcohols.258 Oxidation of chiral secondary 1,2-diols with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-l,4-benzoquinone under ultrasound wave promotion leads to the selective oxidation of benzylic or allylic hydroxyl group. The configuration of the adjacent chiral centre is retained.259 The kinetics of oxidation of ethylbenzene in the presence of acetic anhydride have been studied.260... 

A combination of different techniques can frequently improve yields of final compounds or synthetic conditions, for example a reunion of direct electrochemical synthesis and simultaneous ultrasonic treatment of the reaction system [715]. Reunion of microwave and ultrasonic treatment was an aim to construct an original microwave-ultrasound reactor suitable for organic synthesis (pyrolysis and esterification) (Fig. 3.7) [716], The US system is a cup horn type the emission of ultrasound waves occurs at the bottom of the reactor. The US probe is not in direct contact with the reactive mixture. It is placed a distance from the electromagnetic field in order to avoid interactions and short circuits. The propagation of the US waves into the reactor occurs by means of decalin introduced into the double jacket. This liquid was chosen by the authors of Ref. 716 because of its low viscosity that induces good propagation of ultrasonic waves and inertia towards microwaves.
