Hi all,
Just purchased an ultrasonic power supply & several emitters at 20kHz & 25 kHz range. I already have an ultrasonic drill in production but I have been geeking out over all the other applications for ultrasound, more to the point, catalysis; especially in conjunction with natural & modified zeolites. I've seen some patents with pretty cool green shortcuts to Knoevangel condensation, for example.
http://ihome.ust.hk/~kyeung/pdf/article-CATTOD-Bogdan%202006.3.6.pdfI don't have any immediate use for chalcones, but it is nonetheless impressive as the modified zeolites used within are within my grasp.
Does anyone here have any experience with ultrasonication & tips to share? Things to look out for that wouldn't be in a patent, etc.
