In the process for the continuous dispersion of at least one fluid A constituting the disperse phase and at least one continuous phase constituting the enclosing phase of a fluid B, at least one fluid stream A and at least one fluid stream B are fed into a dispersion apparatus and come into contact therein in a dispersion chamber. To this end, a microstructure dispersion apparatus (,) is used in which the fluid streams A, B are broken up into spatially separate, flowing fluid filaments by a system of microchannels (,) associated therewith, which filaments are discharged into the dispersion chamber (,) at identical flow velocities for the particular fluid in such a manner that on discharge into the dispersion chamber (,) a fluid jet (,) of the disperse phase is in each case immediately adjacent to a fluid jet (,) of the continuous phase and in each case a fluid jet (,) of the disperse phase is enclosed as it is broken up into particles in the adjacent fluid jets (,) of the continuous phase.

Method of producing dispersions and carrying out of chemical reactions in the disperse phase

In the reaction process, at least two educts A, B are divided by a system, assigned to each of them, of slit-like microchannels,into spatially separate fluid lamellae, which then emerge into a common mixing and reaction space,. The fluid lamellae here have a thickness <1,000 &mgr;m, preferably <100 &mgr;m, at a width thickness ratio of at least 10. It is essential here that educts A, B can emerge as thin fluid lamellae,into the mixing/reaction space,, each fluid lamella,of an educt A being led into the mixing/reaction space,in the immediate vicinity of a fluid lamella,of another educt B. The adjacent fluid lamellae,then subsequently mix by diffusion and/or turbulence. As a result, the mixing operation is accelerated substantially compared with conventional reactors. In the case of rapid chemical reactions, the formation of undesirable by-products or secondary products is largely prevented in this manner.

Process for carrying out chemical reactions using a microlaminar mixer

A microstructures lamellae mixer comprising a guide component for supplying fluids to be mixed to a mixing chamber, the guide component being composed of a plurality of foils which are layered one above the other and into which microchannels are incorporated such that separate fluids supplied to the guide component are formed into spatially separated microstreams which then emerge adjacent to each other in a mixing chamber.

Device for carrying out chemical reactions using a microlaminar mixer

The methods consists in that the suspension is made to flow as the feed stream through a narrow channel or a capillary and partial streams are drawn off from the wall on the periphery of the channel and/or the capillary through openings in the channel wall and/or capillary wall, the cross-section of which is larger than the mean particle cross-section (median value), the particle concentration being enriched in the main stream and diluted in the partial streams compared to the feed stream. The device consists in that several holes and/or (in the case of a channel) two gaps are arranged evenly distributed over the periphery of a pipe or channel in which the main stream is conveyed. The diameter of the holes is between 10% and 90% of the pipe diameter and the gap width between 10% and 30% of the channel width.

Arrangement for covering the surface, which may be inclined, of loose material, in particular earth or waste dump material, comprising a sealing course which is provided with a top fill. In order to improve the adhesion between the sealing course and the top fill, a rough layer is arranged on the sealing course, on top of the rough layer an adhesive non-woven fabric, which cooperates with the rough layer in an adhesive manner, and on top of the non-woven fabric a retaining mat, which bonds with the top fill. The adhesive non-woven fabric and the retaining mat may be a known geotextile drainage layer which, when reversed, is used for a standard drainage arrangement.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of fine-particled, stable, pharmaceutical or cosmetic dispersions consisting of an aqueous phase and an organic phase which is insoluble or not completely soluble in water (oily phase), in which a pre-emulsion is first prepared from the two phases by known emulsifying methods and is then further processed to the end product. The invention furthermore relates to apparatus for carrying out the process.

Preparation of pharmaceutical or cosmetic dispersions

A waste dump of a standard dump class is covered with at least one waste layer of a lower dump class having a correspondingly lower hazard potential. Furthermore, at least the outer waste layer is provided with a surface-sealing system. Particularly good encapsulation of hazardous wastes is achieved if the latter are covered with other waste layers where the dump class decreases in an outward direction, so that each waste layer is enclosed by a waste layer which lies on top and is of a lower dump class. In this way, waste dumps having a high hazard potential can be reliably enclosed for a long time and isolated from the environment at less expense than in the past.

Process for sealing the surface of dumps

The accumulated waste is pressed under high pressure to form blocks or boards having high strength, low elutability and low permeability, then packed in film individually or in stacks in a dust-tight and water-tight manner and deposited in this form on a dump like building bricks. The process can be used universally for all waste which is available as bulk material and has no coarse components, such as stones, metal pieces and the like.

Process for the disposal of waste

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of fine-particled, stable, pharmaceutical or cosmetic dispersions consisting of an aqueous phase and an organic phase which is insoluble or not completely soluble in water (oily phase) in which a pre-emulsion is prepared from the two phases by known emulsifying methods and in then pumped through a jet disperser, the temperature, the proportion of the aqueous and organic phases, and the pressure at the jet disperser being adjusted so that phase inversion of the emulsion is effected in the jet disperser at the same time as homogenization and fine dispersion, and in the course of which all the pressure energy is consumed in the dispersing zone and the dispersion leaves as a non-directional stream.

In an operating dump, intermediate sealing layers which are provided with a drainage layer are applied for the production of a multibarrier system to prevent the penetration of seepage water, the seepage water which is collected in the drainage layer being removed and fed to a disposal system. Plastic films or sheets overlapping in the form of roofing tiles or laid as webs have proved suitable as an intermediate covering.

Process for the intermediate sealing of dumps

A continuous process for the production of microcapsules having polymeric walls and a solid or liquid core which comprises mixing a polyisocyanate with the material to be encapsulated, reacting the resulting mixture, a polyamine, and an aqueous phase containing a dispersion aid, the reaction being initiated in a high-turbulence mixing zone to form an emulsion, and subsequently transferring the reaction product to a multiple-stage cascade of vessels, the temperature being increased from stage to stage and being kept constant during each stage.

Process for the continuous production of microcapsules

The solid bowl screw centrifuge consists of a housing (1) in which a drum (2) is rotatable. A rotatably mounted conveyor screw (3) is situated inside the drum (2). The drum (2) and screw (3) rotate at slightly differing speeds of rotation when in operation. The housing (1) is cylindrical in the region of the clarifying part (I) and conical in the region of the demoisturizing part (II). The suspension inflow (5,6) opens into the hollow screw core (12) at a location between the clarifying part (I) and the demoisturizing part (II). The liquid discharge consists of an overflow weir (16) or stripping pipe (9) on the clarifying part (I). The solids discharge (4) is situated at the end of the demoisturizing part (II). The screw (3) is arranged within the clarifying part (I) on the cylindrical hollow screw core (12) whose peripheral surface is partly or completely equipped with an after-clarifying device through which fluid flows in a radial direction. The after-clarifying device consists either of a filtration device placed on the perforated screw core (12) or of a laminar separator (14). These fittings enable the degree of separation of the centrifuge to be improved, especially in the treatment of solids which sediment only slowly.

C. after their formation.
