Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems [Hardcover]

Despite the fact that chemical applications of ultrasound are now widely acknowledged, a detailed presentation of inorganic systems covering nano-particles, catalysis, aqueous chemistry of metallic solutions and their redox characteristics, both from a theoretical and experimental perspective has eluded researchers of this field.

Theoretical and Experimental Sonochemistry Involving Inorganic Systems fills this gap and presents a concise and thorough review of this fascinating area of Sonochemistry in a single volume.

This book presents in a single volume, a concise and thorough review of the fascinating area of sonochemistry. It describes inorganic, aqueous solution applications, and unifies theoretical and experimental approaches in sonochemistry applications.
