Since the main advantage of this method is absent in added chemicals, this is applicable to many kinds of solutes with safe operation. Sonochemical degradation of organic substances can be applied for not only water treatment but also food processing. In this review, organic substances are categorized as aromatic compounds, organic halogen compounds, polysaccharides, and microorganisms. Sonochemical degradation occurs in the three regions centered at cavitation bubbles. The optimum ultrasonic frequencies for the degradation are depended on the type of organic substances and are related to the chemical or physical effects of cavitation. The reaction kinetics and mechanism of sonochemical degradation are also discussed.}, title = {Sonochemical green technology using active bubbles: Degradation of organic substances in water}, volume = {27}, year = {2021} }
