  Ultrasonics for Biodiesel Processing   Today, biodiesel is primarily produced in batch reactors. Ultrasonic biodiesel processing allows for the continuous inline processing. Ultrasonication can achieve a biodiesel yield in excess of 99%. Ultrasonic reactors reduce the processing time from the conventional 1 to 4 hour batch processing to less than 30 seconds. More important, ultrasonica...

  Ultrasonic Disintegration of Cell Structures    Ultrasonication is an effective means to break cell structures. This effect can be used for the extraction of intracellular materials, e.g. starch from the cell matrix.Ultrasonication generates alternating high-pressure and low-pressure waves in the exposed liquid. During the low-pressure cycle, the ultrasonic waves create small vacu...
