Abstract: Ultrasonic cleaning methods may be enhanced by adding certain particles to a liquid through which ultrasonic waves travel through. Specifically, metal nitrites, metal carbides, and metal oxide particles may be used separately or together, to enhance the cleaning effect. When such nanoparticles are added to a liquid medium, and ultrasonic sound waves propagate therethrough, cavitation bubbles form producing high forces on contaminates which adhere to the object being cleaned. The nanoparticles are carried by microjets on the surface of the object, and further aid in disinfecting and sterilizing the objects surface.
