Technology

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

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

Feedstock

Origin and composition

The requirements on the origin and composition of the feedstock may vary since the ultrasonication can be utilised at various points in the value chain of biowaste valorisation.

Process and technologies

During the ultrasonication treatment ultrasound is transmitted through any physical medium^[1]. The

Product

Ultrasonication can be used to produce:

Biofuels
Emulsions (such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanocrystals, liposomes, wax emulsions)
Extracts from biomass (such as polysaccharides^[2], oil, anthocyanins and antioxidants^[3])
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^[4]
