Sonochemistry--the chemical effects and applications of ultrasonic waves--and sustainable (green) chemistry both aim to use less hazardous chemicals and solvents, reduce energy consumption, and increase product selectivity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive collection of knowledge, \u003cstrong\u003eHandbook on Applications of Ultrasound\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the most relevant aspects linked to and linking green chemistry practices to environmental sustainability through the uses and applications of ultrasound-mediated and ultrasound-assisted biological, biochemical, chemical, and physical processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are presented in the areas of: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMedical applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrug and gene delivery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNanotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFood technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSynthetic applications and organic chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnaerobic digestion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental contaminants degradation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePolymer chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIndustrial syntheses and processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReactor design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectrochemical systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombined ultrasound-microwave technologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the concepts of sonochemistry have been known for more than 80 years, in-depth understanding of this phenomenon continues to evolve.
