The sonochemical process is newly advanced oxidation process (AOP) developed for hazardous pollutants destruction in aqueous effluents. This technique produces, in situ, a highly oxidative environment via the irradiation of aqueous solution using high frequency ultrasound to degrade potential contaminants. This book covers sonochemical pollutant degradation from fundamental principles, recent application, to challenges and future trends.
