Definitions

  • a variety of technical processes for the production of fine-particle spherical Polymers or microcapsules are based on the fact that initially a droplet dispersion or cores of finely divided, liquid or with a liquid shell solid material are generated, then by adding another Liquid, e.g. a hardener or an acid or base to change the pH the dispersion the droplets or the liquid surrounding the particles Shell is hardened or stabilized.
  • a hardener or an acid or base to change the pH the dispersion the droplets or the liquid surrounding the particles Shell is hardened or stabilized.
  • the problem is that the liquid is so gentle in the droplet dispersion to interfere that an agglomeration and coalescence of the droplets and thus a Disruption of the droplet size distribution is avoided.
  • the widely used microencapsulation process by coacervation or complex coacervation a droplet dispersion in one aqueous gelatin solution or an aqueous solution of gelatin and gum arabic generated at substantially neutral pH, the droplets with a Gelatin layer can be covered.
  • the encapsulation is carried out by adding a copolymer with the addition of an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid, if appropriate with subsequent lowering of the temperature of the dispersion.
  • Capsules are already so stable that they can be washed and, if necessary, added of formalin can be hardened with an increase in pH.
  • the suspension very sensitive to droplets coated with gelatin before acidification against mechanical stress. The mixture with the acid solution must therefore done very gently.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for continuous mixing of a droplet dispersion with a liquid Introducing the liquid into a container through which the droplet dispersion flows to provide, in which the mixing of the liquid is gentle, i.e. if possible low mechanical stress is carried out.
  • the object is achieved in that the liquid in the form of a large number of fine liquid jets are injected into the droplet dispersion, taking the energy of the liquid jets a short distance behind the injection site is broken down, and the further mixing by one generated in the container Circulation flow occurs with shear rates below 20 / s.
  • the droplet dispersion is preferably introduced axially into a cylindrical container to excite the circulation flow, the introduction speed of the droplet dispersion being 15 to 100 times greater than the average speed determined on the basis of the throughput through the cylindrical container ( As a result, an axial forward flow and a peripheral backward flow with a corresponding flow deflection at a distance from the point of introduction for the droplet dispersion, which is repeated several times by the droplets, is generated in the cylindrical container.
  • the flow velocity through the cylindrical container can be in the range from 0. 1 to 0.5 cm / s, and the droplet dispersion is introduced into the cylindrical container at a rate of 3 to 15 cm / s.
  • the introduction point for the droplet dispersion preferably projects axially into the cylindrical one Containers so that the cylindrical container on the back to the discharge point has an annular space in which the return flow is deflected into a forward flow becomes.
  • the liquid to be mixed into the droplet dispersion is preferably by the jacket of the cylindrical container is injected into the backflow.
  • the cylindrical container jacket has a plane perpendicular to the container axis Large number of nozzles through which the liquid is introduced.
  • the introduction speed for the liquid it can typically be 1 to 5 m / s.
  • the liquid jets are preferably injected with a directional component against the peripheral backflow of the droplet dispersion, so that the Liquid jets in the area surrounding the introduction point for the droplet dispersion Annulus create a peripheral forward flow.
  • the Ring space surrounding the inlet point causes a particularly intensive mass transfer.
  • the impulse component introduced by the liquid jets parallel to the container axis can be of the order of magnitude of momentum input through the droplet dispersion lie, in particular about 1 to 10 times the momentum input by the Droplet dispersion.
  • the introduction takes place the droplet dispersion in the cylindrical container from the bottom up when the Droplets have a lower specific gravity than the continuous one Phase.
  • the droplets experience a buoyancy, which leads to the fact that in the droplet concentration in the annular space surrounding the point of introduction for the droplet dispersion impoverished. Accordingly, the existing in the annulus peripheral upward flow shows a reduced droplet concentration. This is particularly important if, for reasons of economy, droplet dispersions used with very high droplet concentrations of 40 to 60 vol% become.
  • the liquid is then injected into a droplet dispersion with significantly reduced droplet concentration, so the risk the agglomeration of droplets in the area of the injection is further reduced.
  • the flow direction through the cylindrical is preferred Container selected from top to bottom if the droplets have a greater density, than the continuous phase.
  • Fig. 1 shows in principle a container 1 in the form of a cylindrical column with a axially arranged inlet pipe 2 for the droplet dispersion.
  • the generation of the Droplet dispersion can be carried out by methods known per se. For example can the droplet dispersion by spraying the liquid forming the droplet be produced in an aqueous gelatin solution.
  • On a circumferential line perpendicular to Axis 3 of the cylindrical container 1 are a plurality of nozzles 4, for example provided with a diameter of 0.4 mm.
  • the number of nozzles can be, for example 12 to 120.
  • the nozzles are fed from an annular channel 5, in the the liquid is introduced through one or more supply lines 6.
  • the nozzles 4 obliquely upwards, so that the liquid injected is a Directional component in the flow direction of the container 1.
  • the cross-sectional area the inlet pipe 2 for the droplet dispersion can 1/12 to 1/45 of Cross-sectional area of the cylindrical container 1 amount.
  • the container 1 has a rotationally symmetrical flow distribution above the Drawing (not shown) an axial outlet with a conical transition to
  • the outlet cross-section according to the invention is intended to be that caused by the circulating flow Droplet dispersion shear rate below 20 / s, preferably below 10 / s.
  • the estimate of the shear rate is double Inflow velocity of the droplet dispersion through half the container radius divided.
  • the inlet pipe 2 for the droplet dispersion projects at least over one Length, which corresponds to the radius of the container 1, into this, so that the rear an annular space 7 is formed by the inlet point, in which the return flow 11 is deflected becomes.
  • the nozzles 4 are inclined upwards directed so that a peripheral forward flow 13 is excited in the annular space 7 becomes.
  • the backflow 11 in the annular space 7 into a axial and a peripheral forward flow divided, so that an intensive exchange takes place, and on the other hand an additional circulation flow in the annular space 7 generated due to the longer dwell time and the density differences of Droplets and continuous phase as well as dilution by the liquid supplied has a significantly reduced droplet concentration.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the flow conditions in the area of Annulus 7, the dashed lines 21 and 22 the boundaries between the Flow areas with a forward component on the one hand and a backflow component otherwise specify.
