Production of Oil-in-Water Emulsions with Varying Dispersed-Phase Content using Confined Impinging Jet Mixers
[Image: see text] This work reports for the first time on the use of Confined Impinging Jet Mixers (CIJM) for the production of emulsions with dispersed-phase content up to 80 wt %, in both the surfactant-poor and -rich regimes, following the exposure to varying CIJM hydrodynamic conditions. It was...

description | [Image: see text] This work reports for the first time on the use of Confined Impinging Jet Mixers (CIJM) for the production of emulsions with dispersed-phase content up to 80 wt %, in both the surfactant-poor and -rich regimes, following the exposure to varying CIJM hydrodynamic conditions. It was observed computationally and experimentally that the CIJM capacity resulted strictly dependent on the mass jet flow rate (W(jet) > 176 g/min) and the pre-emulsion droplet size (>10 μm). CIJM emulsification performance remained (almost) unaffected by the variation in the oil mass fraction. All systems showed the lowest droplet size (∼8 μm) and similar droplet size distributions under the highest W(jet). Conditionally onto the Tween20 availability, the emulsion d(3,2) was primarily determined by formulation characteristics in the surfactant poor-regime and by the CIJM energy dissipation rate in the surfactant-rich regime. In conclusion, this study offers further insights into the CIJM suitability as a realistic alternative to already-established emulsification methods. |
