Technology details
Name:	Ultrasonication
Category:
Feedstock:	Biowaste
Product:	Biomass (disrupted, dispersed, homogenised)

Ultrasonication is a physical treatment to disrupt, disperse, and/or homogenise biomass via the application of ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz).

Feedstock

Origin and composition

Process and technologies

Product

Ultrasonication can be used to produce:

Biofuels
Emulsions (such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, liposomes, wax emulsions)
Extracts from biomass (such as polysaccharides^[1], oil, anthocyanins and antioxidants^[2])
Purified wastewater

Furthermore, ultrasonication is also utilised in following processes:

Adhesive thinning
Cells disruption
Degassing liquids
Polymer and epoxy processing
Ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurisation of crude oil^[3]
