Practical Sonochemistry: Applications of Power Ultrasound in Chemistry and Processing, Third Edition conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound. The book is written primarily for graduate students, postdoc researchers, and academics in applied chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as technicians and operators in relevant industry. Sonochemistry can do lots of amazing things in many different fields - but how and where do you start with applying it? This thoroughly updated edition offers a ground-up introduction to the fundamentals, applying power ultrasound to both lab and large-scale applications.The book answer questions such as: - Does my laboratory have the equipment- what do I need? - I have the equipment, but I have no idea how it works or how to use it- where do I start? - I want to apply sonochemistry to a new reaction or processing method - what is the best approach? - What types of sonochemistry equipment are available on the market and which is the best to choose? - Can I scale up my reaction and if so, how do I do it, given that ultrasound is non-linear? - Fully updated third edition conveys the increasing growth in applications and equipment to power ultrasound - Provides detailed descriptions of the newest ultrasonic equipment and its applications, which offer a wide range of frequencies with more reproducible experimentation and a variety of scale-up systems - Demonstrates the practical laboratory uses of ultrasound technology for industrial scale performance - Includes useful exercises to familiarize readers with sonochemical operations

Tim Mason is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Sonochemistry Centre at the University of Coventry, UK. He graduated from Southampton University, UK in 1967 with a BSc in Chemistry and continued his career in the research field of physical organic chemistry with a PhD from the same university and two years as a post-doc at Amherst College in Massachusetts, USA. He began research into sonochemistry at Coventry University with his first paper on the subject published in 1980. He became the first president of the European Society of Sonochemistry when it was formed in 1991 until 2014 and became editor of Ultrasonics Sonochemistry from its first issue in 1994 until he retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. He has authored and edited 11 textbooks and the six-volume series 'Advances in Sonochemistry”. Since his retirement and appointment as emeritus professor at Coventry University, he has continued his research interests in a broad range of topics which include fundamental aspects of sonochemistry, reactor design and scale-up, environmental protection, food processing, ultrasonically assisted extraction (UAE), materials processing and therapeutic ultrasound. Currently his main research collaboration is with co-author Mircea Vinatoru through the ULTRA-MINT programme.
