Abstract:
A method for forming an homogenized, polymeric emulsifier-based emulsion phase having improved stability comprising:(a) fanning an inorganic oxidizer salt solution, (b) forming an organic fuel phase which comprises at least about 3% by weight of the fuel phase of an animal oil as an homogenization additive, (c) mixing the organic fuel phase and the inorganic oxidizer salt solution phase in the presence of a polymeric emulsifier with sufficient shear to form the emulsion phase, (d) cooling or allowing the emulsion phase to cool below the crystallization temperature of the inorganic oxidizer salt solution, and thereafter (e) homogenizing the emulsion phase by subjecting it to high shear conditions sufficient to at least double its viscosity, whereby the combination of homogenization additive and polymeric emulsifier imparts improved stability to the homogenized emulsion phase.
