title = "Trends in sonochemistry and ultrasonic processing",
abstract = "It is always a valuable exercise to review the origins and developments of a technology before going on to look at future prospects. Such an exercise allows one to judge both whether that technology has real long term applications or is simply of transient interest on a laboratory scale. In the field of power ultrasound it is a fact that many applications predated the advent of what is now known as sonochemistry by many years. A number of books and articles were written that explored laboratory and industrial applications of ultrasonics from the 1920's. With such early applications in mind this paper will try and identify the early developments into a field that is now encompassed by the term sonochemistry. Amongst the topics that will be highlighted are chemical synthesis, electrochemistry, environmental protection, food technology and therapeutic ultrasound.",
