The acoustic cavitation bubbles are more stable in aluminum and magnesium melts than in water, and the <em>parametric instability</em> mainly determines the bubble stability at 20–160 kHz in molten metals. However, the <em>afterbounce instability</em> does not significantly affect the bubble stability in molten metals owing to the small number of bubble oscillations after the first rapid compression, and the distortion amplitude cannot grow significantly after the first compression. The bubbles in the melt become more unstable with an increase in the ultrasonic frequency owing to the corresponding increase in the bubble wall velocity.

Synthetic brownmillerite and gehlenite minerals were dissolved in aqueous solutions at room temperature using a 1:100 g/ml ratio. The dissolved elements were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), while zeta potential and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were used to assess changes in surface chemistry. Brownmillerite had significant dissolution extents, with Al and Ca dissolving up to 16 % and 8 %, respectively, in contrast to gehlenite, which dissolved less than 2 % under similar conditions. Sonication significantly increased the dissolution of brownmillerite by up to 100 %, although its impact on gehlenite dissolution varied depending on the duration of time. Besides, adding citrate enhanced the leaching of Al and Ca from gehlenite by facilitating complexation. XPS data demonstrated differences in elemental ratios on brownmillerite and gehlenite surfaces affected by the method used and the presence of citrate. Lastly, the dissolution extents of Al and Ca from EAFS were up to 12 %, depending on time and mixing method, with a preference for sonication over stirring.

In comparison to the single intermittent tumbling treatment (ST), UT treatment exerted more pronounced effects on strengthening the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and facilitating the formation of an ordered β-sheet structure. When the tumbling time was the same, UT treatment caused higher surface hydrophobicity, fluorescence intensity and disulfide bond content in the MPs, inducing the occurrence of hydrophobic interaction and disulfide cross-linking between MPs molecules, thus forming the MPs aggregates. Additionally, results from the solubility, particle size, atomic force microscopy and SDS-PAGE further indicated that, relative to the ST treatment, UT treatment was more potent in promoting the polymerization of myosin heavy chain.

In this paper, an HPLC method was first established for the detection of withanolides, and gradient elution was carried out using a methanol–water solvent system. It was found that the content of withanolides was the highest in the leaves of <em>T. anomalum</em>, followed by the stems and fruits, and almost none in the roots. During the actual picking process, the quantity of leaves collected was relatively small, while the number of stems was the highest. Therefore, the Box-Behnken response surface method was used to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction process of withanolides from the stems of <em>T. anomalum</em>. The optimal extraction conditions were determined as follows: the liquid–solid ratio was 20:1, the extraction solvent was 70 % ethanol, the ultrasonic power was 250 W, the ultrasonic time was 40 min, and the ultrasonic temperature was 50 °C. Under these conditions, the average yields of tubocapsenolide A (Te-A) and tubocapsanolide A (Ta-A) can reach 2.87 ± 0.12 mg/g and 1.18 ± 0.05 mg/g, respectively. We further compared extraction rates of two withanolides from different parts of <em>T. anomalum</em> using ultrasonic and traditional extraction methods. Ultrasonic extraction significantly increased rates, with the highest yields from leaves, followed by stems and fruits. The results show that ultrasonic optimization can improve extraction rate, reduce time, lower costs, enhance quality, and increase yield. Therefore, the optimized ultrasonic-assisted extraction process was adopted to extract the aerial parts of <em>T. anomalum</em> and separate the components.
