Japanese Patent JPS50142475
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A process and apparatus for obtaining the emulsification of two or more nonmiscible liquids is disclosed. The process includes the step of passing at least one of the liquids through a passive device in the flow path of the liquid. The passive device in its preferred form is so dimensioned that the liquid passes through a first section of decreasing cross-sectional area wherein the pressure for the liquid decreases below its Clausius-Calpeyron pressure for the temperature of the liquid thus resulting in the formation of bubbles in the liquid. The liquid containing bubbles then passes through a section of uniform cross-sectional area wherein the bubbles fully develop. Thereafter, the bubbles are permitted to violently contract and expand in a mixture of the two or more nonmiscible liquids to obtain the desired emulsification. A passive apparatus for obtaining the above is also disclosed.
