W/O Pickering emulsion preparation using a batch rotor-stator mixer - Influence on rheology, drop size distribution and filtration behavior

摘要

Hypothesis: Pickering emulsions (PE) are becoming of increasing interest for catalytic multiphase processes. Ultrafiltration of PE is a promising procedure for catalyst recovery to enable continuous processes. Dispersing conditions during production of PE are expected to significantly influence PE characteristics, and control of these properties is essential for robust process design. However, while the impact of PE composition has been studied before, knowledge on dispersing conditions is surprisingly scarce.
