High Efficient Ultrasonic Sonicator For Caffeine Extraction

Description:

Acoustic or ultrasonic cavitation leads locally to extreme temperatures, pressures, heating/cooling rates, pressure differentials and high shear forces in the medium. When cavitation bubbles implode on the surface of solids (such as particles, plant cells, tissues etc.), micro-jets and interparticlular collision generate effects such as surface peeling, erosion, particle breakdown, sonoporation (the perforation of cell walls and cell membranes) and cell disruption. 

Additionally, the implosion of cavitation bubbles in liquid media create macro-turbulences and micro-mixing. Ultrasonic irradiation represents an efficient way to enhance mass transfer processes, since sonication results in cavitation and its related mechanisms such as micros-movement by liquid jets, compression and decompression in the material with the subsequent disruption of cell walls, as well as high heating and cooling rates. Probe-type ultrasonicators can generate very high amplitudes, which is necessary to generate impactful cavitation.

Notice:

Tip Depth

Probes must be submerged properly. If the tip is not submerged enough the sample will foam or bubble. If the tip is too deep it will not circulate the sample effectively. Both conditions will end up with poor results.

In the figure above: Figure A will foam and will not process the sample.  Figure B does not circulate the liquid efficiently and therefore does not process the sample.  Figure C shows that the correct setup will achieve good results in the shortest processing time.  

Container Shape and Size

Narrow containers are better than wide ones. Ultrasonic energy is generated from the tip and directed downward. As the sample is processed, the liquid is pushed down in all directions. If the container is too wide, it will not mix effectively, and some samples will remain untreated on the periphery. It takes less time to process twice the volume in a narrow container than the same volume in a wider container. In addition, the probe should not touch the side or bottom of the container.

How to select probes

Certain applications, such as processing nanoparticles, often require longer processing times. Using larger probes will speed up processing and larger probes will not corrode as quickly as smaller probes.

Also, smaller probes wear out faster and require more frequent replacement. Using a larger system will eventually reduce costs over time as you consider the cost of replacing multiple probes.
