Ultrasound is versatile and innovative technology due to its wide range of application and increase in knowledge and research studies. It is used in food industry for many purposes including analysis methods and food processings such as freezing, cutting, drying, tempering, homogenization, degassing, antifoaming, filtration and extraction. Ultrasound can be used as a promoter or alternative to ...

Existence of 2-methylpropane-2-thiol as an organosulfur and odorant compound in the soil could causes environmental problem and social dissatisfaction. In this study, remediation of this type of thiol using ultrasound is investigated. Central Composite Design (CCD) based on Response Surface Model (RSM) was used to obtain effects of the main factor (Power, sonication time and amount of water) an...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ultrasound treatment on the protein content and rheological properties of soymilk extracted from soybeans. Soybean slurry was exposed to ultrasound treatment then filtered. In this work, an ultrasound cleaning bath set with 35 kHz frequency and different treatment temperatures (20 and 40oC) and times (20, 40, and 60 min) was used. Results...

Nano dithiocarbamate (DTC) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. Reaction conditions such as the ligand DTC and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. The dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...

Background/introduction Errors in power output ranging from −100% to +210% have been reported in a multitude of physiotherapy transducers.[1] Differences in power output can arise even after careful calibration on an annual or bi-annual schedule, which can either result in harm to the patient or non-effective treatment. Therefore, easy implementation of daily quality assurance is of great impor...

Randomized phased arrays can offer electronic steering of a single focus and simultaneous multiple foci concomitant with low levels of secondary maxima and are potentially useful as sources of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This work describes laboratory testing of a 1 MHz random phased array consisting of 254 elements on a spherical shell of radius of curvature 130 mm and diameter 1...

in this article a comparative study for modeling and optimization of 2-methylpropane-2-thiol removal from contaminated soil by ultrasound is investigated. central composite design (ccd) and artificial neural network (ann) were utilized and compared to each other in order to obtain appropriate predicting model with respect to sonication power (w), sonication time (min) and water/reactor volume r...
