Ultrasonic homogenization is to achieve the effect of uniform dispersion of materials by using the cavitation effect of ultrasonic in liquid. Cavitation refers to that under the action of ultrasound, the liquid produces holes in places with weak intensity, that is, small bubbles. Small bubbles pulse with ultrasound, and the holes will collapse in one acoustic cycle.
A physical, chemical, or mechanical change that causes a bubble to grow or collapse. The physical, mechanical, thermal, biological and chemical effects caused by cavitation have broad application potential in industry.
As a physical means and tool, it can produce a series of conditions close to in the medium of chemical reaction. This energy can not only stimulate or promote many chemical reactions and accelerate the speed of chemical reactions, but also change the direction of some chemical reactions and produce some unexpected effects and miracles.
Application of ultrasonic homogenization:
1. Biological field: it is very suitable for cracking bacteria, yeast, tissue cells, DNA cutting, chip detection, etc., and is used to extract protein, DNA, RNA and cell components.
2. Pharmaceutical field: ultrasonic homogenization is commonly used in analysis, quality control and R & D laboratories in the pharmaceutical field, providing many services, such as stirring and mixing samples, cracking tablets, making liposomes and emulsions, etc.
3. Chemical field: ultrasonic homogenization can accelerate physical and chemical reactions. It is very suitable for catalyst chemical synthesis, new alloy synthesis, organic metal catalytic reaction, protein and hydrolyzed ester microcapsules, etc.
4. Industrial application: ultrasonic homogenization is often used to produce latex, catalyze reaction, extract compounds, reduce particle size, etc.
5. Environmental Science: ultrasonic homogenization is often used to treat soil and sediment samples. With 4-18 hours of Soxhlet extraction workload, it can be completed in 8-10 minutes.
