There is contradictory statement regarding ultrasonic effect on adsorption in research papers.
Sonication is high frequency sound waves which agitates/vibrates the particles very quickly. With this we can achieve equilibrium much faster. It is useful for adsorption in liquid phase and confined pores where diffusion is very slow.
Due to heating of the sample, with high power sonicators a water thermostatic bath is required. Too high powers can even break the sample structure.

@Fernando Vallejos-Burgos.....Thank you sir for kind reply. Although same thing i also found in literature. In same time i have read at lower frequency the cavitation effect is more (due to larger propagating bubble) and leads to more temperature and impact on adsorber surface (may cause damage to surface). Kindly send or guide me regarding some good paper which have exact calculation with notation explanation of these effects.
Dear Sumit,
I would suggest reading books on fluid mechanics if you are after the exact calculation on this topics. papers dealing with adsorption desorption do not normally go into details
