Advantages of ultrasonic emulsification machine
There are many types of emulsifiers used in the industry. In different occasions, different products use different emulsifiers. Below, I will introduce the advantages of ultrasonic emulsifiers.
Improve the emulsification effect of the emulsifier
According to the droplet size of the dispersed phase, the emulsion can be divided into microemulsion (10-100 nm), nanoemulsion (100-1000 nm) and large emulsion (0.5-100μm). Ultrasound is an effective method to reduce the particle size of dispersions and emulsions. Ultrasonic emulsification equipment can obtain emulsions with small particle size (only 0.2-2μm) and narrow droplet size distribution (0.1-10μm). The use of emulsifiers can also increase the emulsion concentration by 30% to 70%.
Enhance emulsion stability
In essence, emulsions are kinetically unstable, do not form spontaneously, and if their stability is not controlled, they will separate into their constituent phases. Therefore, in order to stabilize the newly formed droplets of the dispersed phase to prevent coalescence, emulsifiers and stabilizers are added to the emulsion. Ultrasonic emulsification only needs to use a small amount or no emulsifier to obtain a stable emulsion. After sonication, the emulsion can remain stable for several months or more than half a year.
Control emulsion type
Under certain conditions, two types of emulsions, "water-in-oil" and "oil-in-water" can be produced by ultrasonic technology. The traditional emulsification method can only control the properties of the emulsion by adding emulsifiers, and the type of emulsion cannot be changed by mechanical methods alone. Ultrasonic emulsification equipment makes the emulsification process more convenient and flexible.
Low power consumption of emulsifier
The power consumption of phacoemulsification is small, and the power consumption required to manufacture the same volume of emulsion is less than that of a high-pressure homogenizer. To produce an emulsion with a capacity of 4.55 m3/h and droplets of 1μm in size, if ultrasonic emulsification technology is used, only 57 HP of driving force is required at a working pressure of 10.514.1kg/cm2, but the high-pressure homogenizer is at 70.3351.6kg Under the working pressure of / cm2, 4050 HP is required, so the use of phacoemulsification technology can reduce a lot of energy consumption.
Improve the emulsification efficiency of the emulsifier
Ultrasonic emulsification can produce emulsions that cannot be produced by general emulsification methods. As the energy density increases, the droplet size will decrease. Under the appropriate energy density level, phacoemulsification technology can achieve an average droplet size of less than 1μm. Ultrasound promotes the entire emulsification process to be faster and the purity of the emulsion produced is higher.
