Progress in Hydrogen Production via Sonolysis Processes

Progress in Hydrogen Production via Sonolysis Processes highlights recent developments in numerical and experimental hydrogen production by ultrasound (sonolysis). This book serves as a comprehensive and quick reference with a high-level historical review of the technology, detailed technical descriptions and the latest experimental and numerical achievements. The book reviews hydrogen production technologies, sonolysis, and ultrasound-assisted processes for hydrogen production, and examines numerical acoustic cavitation (bubble sonochemistry) for hydrogen sono-production. It presents cutting-edge computational research and its benefits for understanding multiple issues related to the use of ultrasound as an innovative clean technology for hydrogen production. These issues range from the mechanism of sonochemical production and the factors and phenomena that influence it to intensification techniques and the active bubble population (number and size) in sonicated water. The reported progress facilitates determining insightful tendencies and perspectives for this research area, and highlights needs for innovation.
