CONTINUOUS EMULSIFICATION METHOD AND EMULSIFICATION APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

An emulsification method and an emulsification apparatus by which particle size and particle size distribution can be easily controlled, scaling up and maintenance can be conveniently conducted and an emulsified product can be obtained in an industrially practical amount. Namely, a method wherein emulsification is conducted by passing multiple liquids, which are substantially immiscible with each other, continuously and successively through multiple mesh members, which are located at definite intervals, in the presence of an emulsifier; and an apparatus therefor comprising a liquid-feeding pump for feeding two or more liquids, which are substantially immiscible with each other, and a tubular channel into which the two or more liquids as described above are fed from the liquid-feeding pump, characterized in that a definite number of wire mesh members are located at definite intervals in the tubular channel.
