Title:
LOOP-SHAPED ULTRASOUND GENERATOR AND USE IN REACTION SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006055368
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Ultrasound for use in chemical reactions is generated by an electromagnet formed from an ultrasound transducer (22) central feature is a loop of magnetostrictive material wound with coils oriented to produce an oscillating magnetostrictive force when an oscillating voltage is applied. The oscillations in the transducer loop are transmitted to an ultrasonic horn (16) that is immersed in a reaction medium (12) where the ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted directly to the reaction mixture.
