What Types of Catalytic Processes Benefit from Ultrasonic Waves?
Several catalytic processes benefit from the application of ultrasonic waves, including:
Homogeneous Catalysis: Improved mixing and mass transfer can enhance the efficiency of homogeneous catalytic reactions. Heterogeneous Catalysis: Ultrasonic waves can enhance the dispersion of solid catalysts and improve the accessibility of active sites. Enzymatic Catalysis: Ultrasound can increase the activity of enzymes by promoting conformational changes and improving substrate binding. Nanocatalysis: Ultrasonic waves can aid in the synthesis of nanoparticles and improve their catalytic properties.
