This interrelationship leads to the hypothesis that the degree of intensification and locality are interdependent.
Both processes incorporate a high degree of intensification, which yields in a considerable reduction of both, capital and operational costs.
A critical opinion on the governing mechanisms, reactor designs and effects of the operating parameters on the degree of intensification has been presented.
Some experimental case studies using industrially important reactions have been presented, highlighting the degree of intensification achieved as compared to the conventional approaches.
Overall, the ultrasound-assisted approach is considered to be a novel and environmentally friendly green technique, giving a significant degree of intensification.
However, LFS differ widely in terms of the use of resources, degree of intensification, species and orientation of production, local/regional socio-economic and market context, cultural roles, etc.
The study area consisted of four contiguous agricultural sub-areas with a decreasing degree of intensification: irrigated, mixed (dry and irrigated), dry and environmentally protected (i.e. Special Protection Area, SPA) dry farmland.
The work presents new design related information in terms of effect of the type of reactors on the degree of intensification using gaseous additives, which would be especially important for all gas liquid applications of sonochemical reactors.
An overview of the different reactor configurations and optimization of equipment operating parameters are also discussed, with the objective of maximizing cavitational activity and hence the expected degree of intensification.
We used life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions of three contrasting meat-sheep farming systems in Spain, which differed in their degree of intensification (reproduction rate, land use and grazing management).
