摘要
Experiments in liquid-liquid dispersion were performed using a circular loop reactor designed for suspension polymerization. In order to vary widely differences in physical properties such as the viscosity, density, and interfacial tension between the two liquids concerned, polystyrene pellets were dissolved into the dispersed phase which consisted of a styrene monomer liquid. The diameter distributions and mean diameters of droplets formed were measured by stepwise changes in the impeller diameter. From these results, the effect of the impeller diameter on the breakup of droplets was determined. Correlations relating the mean droplet diameter to the operational conditions were derived.
