This paper addresses the issue of mechanistic aspects of sonocrystallization with approach of coupling experiments with simulations of bubble dynamics. The major experimental result of our study is that, as compared to a mechanically agitated crystallization system, the dominant crystal size (or median) of the crystal size distribution (CSD) of sonocrystallization systems is smaller, but span of CSD is larger. The CSD is influenced by nucleation rate and growth rate. The nature of convection in the medium is found to be the crucial factor. In a mechanically agitated system, uniform velocity field prevails in crystallization volume, due to which both dominant crystal size and span of CSD reduce. The convection in a sonicated system is of a different kind. This convection has two components, viz. microturbulence (or micro-convection), which is continuous oscillatory motion of liquid induced by radial motion of cavitation bubble, and shock waves, which are discrete, high pressure amplitude waves emitted by the bubble. These components have different impact on crystallization process due to their nature. Shock waves increase the nucleation rate and microtubulence governs growth of the nuclei. However, the effect of shock waves is more marked than microturbulence (or micro-convection). Nucleation rate shows an order of magnitude rise with sonication, while growth rate (and hence the dominant crystal size) reduces with sonication as compared to the mechanically agitated system.
