METHOD AND STATISTICAL MICROMIXER FOR MIXING AT LEAST TWO LIQUIDS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a micromixer for mixing at least two liquids. The aim of the invention is to reduce the mixing time of the micromixer compared to known micromixers while maintaining high mixing quality and small structural dimensions. The inventive method is characterised by the following steps: a plurality of separated liquid currents of both liquids are brought together and alternately adjacent liquid lamellae of both liquids are formed; the combined liquid currents are carried away and a focussed total liquid current is formed; the focussed total liquid current is guided as a liquid jet into an expansion chamber; and the mixture formed is drawn off. The micromixer comprises a plurality of alternately adjacent liquid channels (2, 3) which open up into an inlet chamber (4). A focussing channel (5) is in liquid communication with said inlet chamber, and opens up into an expansion chamber (6). The inventive method and micromixer are especially advantageous in that they are suitable for the production of emulsions and dispersions.
