Patent ID: 7284899

Claim:
An emulsification/dispersion system comprising: a supplier that supplies a liquid metal to be emulsified/dispersed; an emulsification/dispersion apparatus for emulsifying/dispersing said liquid metal supplied from said supplier, by applying a shearing force; a communication passage connect to an outlet portion of said emulsification/dispersion apparatus; and a multistage depressurization module connected to the downstream of said communication passage, said multistage depressurization module including an inlet passage, an outlet passage, and at least two depressurization members located between said inlet and outlet passages and connected with each other in a multistage manner through a connection member, said multistage depressurization module being operable to apply to a given backpressure to the outlet portion of said emulsification/dispersion apparatus and to reduce said backpressure in a stepwise manner so that the depressurization member in the final stage provides a reduced pressure causing no bubbling in said outlet passage.
