Abstract
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.
