Abstract: Application of power ultrasound to ceramic materials processing has been reviewed. After the historical background and the physicochemical basis of ultrasound are explained, the apparatus and the power determination for sonoprocess are noticed for the readers to execute a sonochemical experiment properly. Case studies of ceramic sonoprocessing are briefly and variously introduced with 36 references quoted. They involve the ultrasonic effects on dissolution and precipitation (ripening of aluminogel), nucleation and growth of alum crystals from a supersaturated solution, oxidation (Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , magnetite etc.), reduction (noble metal nanoparticles, Au, Pt, Ag, etc.), polymerization (nanocarbon etc.), sol-gel process using metal alkoxides, electrochemical process, and solidification of molten salt.
