Talk:Sonication

By use of energy
I just want tp point out that the process is accoplished by the use of energy, which in turn is produced by the sound waves.

Not only biological materials can be dispersed in solution by sonication. I myself disperse silica nanoparticles in water using the technique. --72.195.134.10 02:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Joe

Don't think merging the articles is a good idea. Sonication is also a process which uses sound waves to lyse cells and other biological components. Merging the articles may cause inconvenience to others who are looking for sonication in the application of biology.

Sonication is also used to disperse materials in liquids. If the merge is done, there should at least be a redirect from "sonication" to the merged article.

statements about crystallization
The statements about crystallization processes need references! Necmon (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

sure
i think wher ultra sonic cleaning is part of sonication it should be moved to this page Amich45 17:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ultra-Sonic Cleaning is an application of Sonication
Ultra-sonic cleaning is an application of sonication, so from a logical perspective it would make sense for it to have a section on the sonication page. Linking it to that section might be the best solution, because then it can be easily found by people who aren't versed in the sciences but then those same people can learn about the broader subject. 128.220.119.64 14:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Craig B

Merge Proposal
This article Ultrasound assisted extraction has a lot of issues, chief among which is that it is fundamentally just describing one application of sonication in a overly technical way. I think much of that article can be condensed a great deal with minimal loss of useful information and just added to this article Cipactli8 (talk) 16:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Concur - merging is a good solution. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - low quality, unlikely to be mended. -Lemonaka‎  07:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed A quick look at the sonication page already describes (in much better language) everything this article talks about. Biped(Featherless) (talk) 12:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * agree for the same reasons. RetroCosmos (talk) 07:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
