Abstract:
A method for producing hollow particles, comprising the steps of:forcing a gas through a channel of a feeding source in a manner which causes the gas to be expelled from an exit opening; forcing a liquid through a pressure chamber in a manner which causes the liquid to exit the pressure chamber from an exit orifice down stream of a flow path of the gas expelled from the exit opening of the feeding source; wherein a stable first gas-liquid interface is maintained and the gas forms a stable jet focused on the exit orifice of the pressure chamber by the liquid and a combined jet of liquid surrounding gas exits the exit orifice of the pressure chamber and disassociates into hollow particles.
