Microfluidic High-Pressure Homogenizer
In the high-pressure homogenizer, as the high pressure fluid feeds through the narrow gap module under pressure, the pressure quickly drops and an ultra-fast velocity is created. This triggers a number of phenomena, such as particle impact, cavitation, dissipation of flow, shear or stress disintegration of fluid particles, atomization, emulsification, dispersion, and liposome. Homogenizers, compared with intelligent mixers, ultrasonic devices, and ball mills, boast higher rates of efficiency compared to other technology. High-pressure homogenizers are ideal for a wide range of industries, including electronic materials, life engineering, medicine, food, fiber, paint, and cosmetics.
As the high-pressure liquid passes through the narrow gap of the dispersing unit of the homogenizer, the pressure significantly decreases, initiating a supersonic rate of flow. Collisions and cavitation of particles in the liquid along with the leakage ensue, while forces acting at the nano-meter scale leads to shearing of the smallest molecules. Consequently, a complete homogenization of the fluid's components is achieved.
