1. A method of conducting sonochemical reactions or processes in a liquid comprising the steps of:
- a. passing a liquid at static pressure P through a constriction of a device to form a liquid jet containing cavitation bubbles; and
b. subjecting the cavitation bubbles in the liquid jet to a compressive stagnation pressure, Pst, wherein Pst is Pst=(0.5−
0.99)P, by colliding the cavitation bubbles with a target within less than 1 millisecond of the liquid exiting the constriction.

Abstract
Described herein are method for conducting sonochemical reactions and processes in a liquid. The liquid is passed through a device that generates a liquid jet containing cavitation bubbles and collides the liquid jet with an impact body or other liquid jet to force the collapse of the cavitation bubbles at a select compressive stagnation pressure. The compressive stagnation pressure of the liquid is between 50 and 99 percent of the static pressure of the liquid upon entry of a constriction that generates the liquid jet containing cavitation bubbles.
