How bubble-generated sound disrupts ultrasonic chemistry (IMAGE)
Caption
Tiny bubbles created by ultrasound normally collapse violently, reaching temperatures above 5,000 K that trigger chemical reactions. But at high ultrasonic power, the bubbles begin emitting their own sound waves, disrupting the ultrasound preventing the medium from reaching the temperatures needed for efficient chemistry.
