Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0076673A1] A method of creating small particles by a technology referred to here as "violent focusing" is disclosed, along with devices for generating such violent flow focusing. In general, the method comprises the steps of forcing a liquid (9) out of the exit opening (6) of the feeding tube (5) to create a liquid stream. The exit opening (6) is positioned such that the liquid (9) flowing out of the tube (5) flows toward and out of an exit orifice (7) of a pressure chamber (10) which surrounds the exit opening (6) of the feeding tube (5). The liquid flow is broken into particles (18) which have dimensions which are smaller than the dimensions of the liquid stream.
