Process for forming an emulsion using microchannel process technology

摘要

The disclosed invention relates to a process for making an emulsion. The process comprises: flowing a first liquid through a process microchannel (110), the process microchannel having a wall (112) with an apertured section (140); flowing a second liquid through the apertured section into the process microchannel in contact with the first liquid, the first liquid forming a continuous phase, the second liquid forming a discontinuous phase dispersed in the continuous phase.
