The method includes circulating through the banks of cooling coils a cooling fluid, having an initial temperature ranging from 40 C. to 5 C., and rotating the agitator such that a minimum average heat transfer of 400 W/m.sup.2.Math.K is achieved on the cooling coil the most distant from the agitator.

Disclosed is an ultrasonically-enhanced continuous and large-scale production method for nano-formulations. Specifically disclosed is a preparation system for continuous production of nano-formulations, comprising (a) a first pipe, (b) a second pipe, (f) an ultrasonic device, (c) a combined pipe and (e) a (fluid) outlet thereof. The first pipe and the second pipe are connected to the combined pipe. A first phase solution enters the combined pipe through a first pipe outlet, and a second phase solution enters the combined pipe through a second pipe outlet. The ultrasonic device acts on the part or the whole of the combined pipe. The first phase solution and the second phase solution are turbulently mixed in the combined pipe to form a combined phase, and flow out through the outlet of the combined pipe.

The invention relates to an emulsification device for continuously producing emulsions, nano-emulsions, and/or dispersions having a liquid crystalline structure, comprising a) at least one mixing system, b) at least one drive for the stirring element, and c) at least one delivery unit for each component or each component mixture.

The present invention provides a method of preparing a lipid nanoparticle dispersion using a twin screw extruder. The inventive DNLF fluids are isotropic fluids which include greater than 25% lipophilic content in the form of lipidic nanoparticles dispersed in a continuous aqueous matrix with turbidity less than 375 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU).

A dry powder kneading apparatus includes a main body including an inner space into which a mixture containing an active material, a conductive material, and a binder is supplied, and a screw inside the inner space of the main body, the screw being configured to move the mixture in one direction and to knead the mixture into fiberized dry powder, and a rotation torque of the screw being 1.4 kgf.Math.m to 42 kgf.Math.m.

The invention relates to an emulsification device for continuously producing emulsions, nano-emulsions, and/or dispersions having a liquid crystalline structure, comprising a) at least one mixing system, b) at least one drive for the stirring element, and c) at least one delivery unit for each component or each component mixture.

The present invention relates to a kind of pigment preparation, in particular to a modified layered silicate novel barrier and shielding pigment and its preparation method. It is a layer silicate with exchangeable anticorrosive ions as a template, using metal oxides or metal salts, inorganic acids to synthesize nano-spherical zinc phosphate, phosphate, molybdate, borate or tungstate, with rare earth cerium, strontium, lanthanum or praseodymium doped modification of the pigment. The invention uses silicate as a template to effectively control the agglomeration of nanoparticles during the liquid phase deposition process, avoiding the multiple cleaning and sewage treatment processes required by using surfactants and solvents. What is more valuable is lamellar silicic acid. The salt itself has certain anti-corrosion properties and is economical. At the same time, the physical barrier and exchangeable anti-corrosion ions of the lamellae further improve the anti-corrosion properties of the pigment, making the pigment highly active and shielding.
