Membrane emulsification

Membrane emulsification

Membrane emulsification (ME) is a relatively novel technique for producing all types of single and multiple emulsions (o/w, w/o, w/w, w/o/w, o/w/o, m/w, s/o/w), e.g. for DDS (drug delivery system), solid micro carriers for encapsulation of drug or nutrient, solder particles for surface mount technology, mono dispersed polymer microspheres (for analytical column packing, enzyme carriers, liquid crystal display spacers, toner core particles).[1][2][3][4][5][6] Membrane emulsification was introduced by Nakashima and Shimizu in the late 1980s in Japan.[7][8]

Description

In this process, the dispersed phase is forced through the pores of a microporous membrane directly into the continuous phase. Emulsified droplets are formed and detached at the end of the pores with a drop-by-drop mechanism. The advantages of membrane emulsification over conventional emulsification processes are that it enables to obtain very fine emulsions of controlled droplet sizes and narrow droplet size distributions. Successful emulsification can be carried out with much less consumption of emulsifier and energy, and because of the lowered shear stress effect, membrane emulsification allows the use of shear-sensitive ingredients, such as starch and proteins.[9] The membrane emulsification process is generally carried out in cross-flow (continuous or batch) mode or in a stirred cell (batch).

Applications

The method of membrane emulsification has already been applied in some areas of food-, chemical-, electronic and medical industry.[10][11][12][13] For membrane emulsification, several types of membranes, e.g. ceramic, polymeric, metallic and glass are tested.[14][15] The Shirasu porous-glass (SPG) membrane was developed by Nakashima and Shimizu as well.

Modeling

Since the process is quite novel, the modeling of the membrane emulsification operation is an interesting topic.[16][17]

Future

A major limiting factor of the ME is the low dispersed phase flux. In order to expand the industrial applications the productivity of the method have to be increased. Research aimed at solving this problem and tackle other problems like membrane fouling.[18][19]
