Abstract:For
industrial emulsification processes, it remains a challenge
to obtain desirable droplet size distribution (DSD) as well as a smaller span via facile and efficient routes. In this work, a novel
blind-side rotor is designed to assemble with the stator of a laboratory-scale
inline high-shear mixer equipped with an annular cylinder inside the
mixing chamber (bRS HSM). The effects of operating parameters, structural
parameters on the average droplet size, DSD, and span are experimentally investigated and compar… Show more
“…In the double emulsification process, the first step consists of the preparation of a single reverse emulsion using a high-shear device (Ultra-Turrax). Modelling single emulsions is widely addressed in the literature, hence it will not be considered in this study (Gallassi et al, 2019;Li et al, 2022). The modelling task here will focus on the second step dealing with the dispersion of the inner reverse emulsion into the outer aqueous phase within static mixers to form the double emulsion (DE).…”
