Preparation of Oleic Acid/Water Emulsions in Surfactant-Free Condition by Sequential Processing Using Midsonic−Megasonic Waves

Abstract: Emulsifying action of high-frequency acoustic waves was investigated on surfactant-free oleic acid/ water mixtures using megasonic irradiation (200 kHz and 1 MHz) in baths manufactured for precision cleaning. While the droplet size distribution was bimodal for single irradiation at 40 kHz or 1 MHz, a unimodal distribution was obtained at 200 kHz irradiation. The whole amount of dispersed oil was evaluated with the total organic carbon measurement. The largest dispersed amount was obtained for the 40 kHz treatm… Show more

“…Meanwhile, formation of radical species such as OH radical has been shown to occur on irradiating aqueous solution with high frequency ultrasonic waves (>200 kHz) (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

“…The electrical generator, which is connected to the mains, converts the input electricity into an alternating electrical signal (ranging from 20 kHz to tens of MHz), which drives the transducer [64][65][66]. A transducer contains piezoelectric crystals, which, upon receiving the electrical signal, start to oscillate, causing the horn or probe to longitudinally expand and contract.…”

“…The size of the droplets depends on the sonication time and the energy used (Anton et al, 2008;Ghosh et al, 2012). In fact, it is possible to form a nanoemulsion using megasonic irradiation (Kamogawa et al, 2004). The emulsion was sonicated at 40 kHz followed by a series of irradiation at 200 kHz and 1 MHz to form small droplets.…”
