EMULSIFYING METHOD WITH SHOCK WAVE BY ELECTRIC DISCHARGE

摘要

PURPOSE:To emulsify two-layered aq. and oily fluids and to considerably reduce the amt. of a surfactant used, by applying a shock wave to the fluids by electric discharge. CONSTITUTION:Two-layered aq. and oily fluids 2 are charged into an emulsification chamber 6 and a rotator 4 is rotated by driving a magnetic starter 3 to stir the fluids 2. Electricity is intermittently supplied from a power source device 5 to generate a shock wave by electric discharge from electrodes 1 for electric discharge and the fluids 2 are emulsified by intermittently applying the shock wave to the fluids 2. The amt. of a surfactant used can be considerably reduced and a stable emulsion is obtd.
