A method and apparatus for mixing two or more materials which are difficult to mix. The dispersion apparatus has a cylindrical housing (20) which is divided into an upper chamber (42) and a lower chamber by a separator (40). The materials to be mixed are forced under pressure into the lower chamber which is divided into pressure zones (64) by kinetic baffles (58). A turbine blade (66) imparts energy to the liquids which are kept from swirling by the kinetic baffles (58). The high pressure of the materials introduced into the chamber forces the materials through an opening (44) between the baffle (40) and shaft turning blade (66) into the upper chamber (42). In the upper chamber (42), a second blade (80) imparts centrifugal force to the materials to force them outward. The materials are sheared as they move through the apparatus and then are delivered to an outlet (50).
