Definitions

  • This invention relates to monodisperse single and double emulsions and a method of producing the same.
  • % means “% by volume”, unless otherwise specified.
  • emulsions are generally produced by adding an emulsifying agent, such as a surfactant, and a liquid to be dispersed to a continuous phase liquid and stirring or frictionally mixing the resulting mixture by some mechanical means, such as a stirrer, homogenizer or colloid mill, to thereby comminute the dispersed phase.
  • an emulsifying agent such as a surfactant
  • some mechanical means such as a stirrer, homogenizer or colloid mill
  • emulsion particles dispersed phase particles in the emulsion prepared (hereinafter sometimes referred to as emulsion particles) are considerably ununiform in size, so that the emulsion is poor in stability.
  • emulsion particles dispersed phase particles in the emulsion prepared
  • surfactant when the dispersed phase concentration is high, a large amount of surfactant will be required for the improvement of emulsion stability.
  • two methods are known for the production of double emulsions of the o/w/o or w/o/w type.
  • One is the one-step emulsification method which utilizes phase inversion from w/o type emulsions to o/w type emulsions or from o/w type emulsions to w/o type emulsions and the other is the two-step emulsification method comprising dispersing with stirring a w/o or o/w type emulsion prepared in advance again in a continuous phase to obtain a w/o/w or o/w/o type emulsion.
  • JP-A-2 214 537 discloses a method for preparing high-quality w/o emulsions by partitioning the two phases with a porous membrane. To prevent reaggregation of the aqueous component at the pore outlet, the membrane surface is irradiated with ultrasonic waves.
  • JP-A-2 095 433 discloses the production of w/o and w/o/w emulsions by injecting a first phase into a second phase through membranes with micropores of uniform diameter.
  • the present inventors have now completed a novel method of producing monodisperse single emulsions and double emulsions, which method can make emulsion particles more uniform in size. It has also been found that said method can give double emulsion particles in high yield and, in addition, can effectively prevent the loss of a substance or substances added from the internal phase as resulting from disruption of emulsion particles.
  • the term "monodisperse emulsion" as used herein and in the claims means any emulsion showing a coefficient of particle size dispersion, ⁇ , of not more than 0.5, preferably not more than 0.3.
  • the content, in the emulsions of the invention, of smaller particles having a size less than 50% of the mean particle size is only about 1% or less, hence said emulsions can be said to be substantially free of smaller particles having a size less than 50% of the mean particle size.
  • critical pressure means a minimum pressure required for the introduction of a dispersed phase-forming liquid into a continuous phase-forming liquid through a porous glass membrane.
  • FIG. 1 the illustrations (a), (b) and (c) schematically show the mechanism of emulsion particle formation by the method of the invention in relation to the critical pressure.
  • the porous glass membrane 1 has a glass skeleton surface 2 more readily wettable with the continuous phase liquid 5 than with the dispersed phase-forming liquid 4. This wettability can be adjusted by physical surface treatment or chemical surface-modifying treatment, which is to be mentioned later herein. Under the circumstances shown in Fig.
  • the dispersed phase-forming liquid is introduced into the continuous phase liquid by causing it to pass through pores of a porous glass membrane under pressure conditions such that ⁇ P > P c and the pressure is 1 to 10 times (preferably 1 to 5 times) the critical pressure.
  • the pressure exerted on the dispersed phase-forming liquid is below 1 time the critical pressure, it is of course impossible to produce any emulsion.
  • said pressure is more than 10 times the critical pressure, the porous glass will be easily wetted with the dispersed phase-forming liquid so that monodisperse emulsions can hardly be obtained stably.
  • porous glass membrane to be used in the invention can be produced by utilizing the phenomenon of micro phase separation upon heat treatment of glass.
  • porous glass membrane there may be mentioned CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based porous glass disclosed in Examined Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-25618, and CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -Na 2 O-based porous glass and CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -Na 2 O-MgO-based porous glass disclosed in Examined Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-66777 and U.S. Patent No. 4,657,875.
  • porous glass species are characterized in that the pore size is controlled in a very narrow range and the pores are cylindrical in longitudinal section.
  • porous glass membranes having such characteristics, emulsions containing emulsion particles with a specific controlled particle size range corresponding to the pore size can be produced.
  • the thickness of the glass membrane is not critical but, considering its strength, the resistance in emulsion production and other factors, it is preferably about 0.4 to 2 mm.
  • porous glass membrane can be designed to have pores uniform in size within the range of 1 nm to 10 ⁇ m
  • the porous glass membrane to be used in the practice of the invention has a mean pore size within the range of 0.1 to 5 ⁇ m.
  • the emulsion particles produced under the above-mentioned pressure conditions will have a mean particle size about 3.25 times the mean pore size.
  • the pore outlet portion of the porous glass membrane which is to come into contact with the continuous phase-forming liquid, has a funnel-like shape so that the pore outlet diameter is twice the pore diameter, emulsion particles having a particle size about 7 to 8 times the mean pore size can be obtained by using such porous glass membrane and proceeding under the pressure conditions mentioned above.
  • the emulsions produced by the method of the invention show strict correspondence between the pore size distribution in the porous glass membrane used and the particle size distribution of emulsion particles in said emulsions.
  • a membrane with a sharp pore size distribution is used, emulsions with a sharp particle size distribution can be obtained whereas the use of a membrane with a broad pore size distribution results in emulsions with a broad particle size distribution.
  • the porous glass membrane to be used in accordance with the invention is hydrophilic by nature owing to the polar groups (-SiOH, -OH, etc.) occurring on the pore surface and is negatively charged in water, though weakly.
  • the porous glass membrane is surface-modified by various treatment methods. For example, introduction of an acid residue, such as a sulfo group, into the surface layer of the porous glass membrane can give a membrane having a stronger negative charge.
  • sulfo group introduction there may be mentioned, for example, treatment with benzyltrichlorosilane and SO 3 , treatment with benzyldimethylchlorosilane and SO 3 , and treatment with 1,3-propanesulfone.
  • an amino group or the like When an amino group or the like is introduced into the surface of the porous glass membrane, said membrane can be rendered positively charged.
  • the method of amino group introduction there may be mentioned, among others, treatment of a hydrophilic porous glass membrane with 2-aminoethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane, ⁇ -aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-(2-amino)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride or the like.
  • the surface of the porous glass membrane can be made hydrophobic by introducing a hydrocarbon group thereinto using various reagents or providing it with an organic coating composition. Unless the uniform porous structure of the porous glass membrane itself is damaged, any surface modification method may be employed without any particular limitation.
  • the porous glass membrane is preferably used in a negatively charged state.
  • the method of the present invention is carried out generally in the following manner.
  • an anionic surfactant and/or a nonionic surfactant and/or a dispersing agent is dissolved in the aqueous continuous phase liquid.
  • Fig. 3 schematically illustrates the behavior of surfactant molecules relative to the pore surface of a hydrophilic porous glass membrane.
  • a porous glass membrane having a negatively charged glass surface 7 is used and an anionic surfactant (8) is dissolved in the continuous phase liquid (aqueous phase), the glass surface 7 will not be wetted with the dispersed phase-forming liquid (oily phase) invading into the pores, whereby monodisperse o/w type single emulsions can be produced.
  • a cationic surfactant 9 when a cationic surfactant 9 is dissolved in the continuous phase liquid (aqueous phase), as shown in Fig. 3 (b), the cationic surfactant 9 is electrostatically adsorbed on the negatively charged glass surface 7 and the hydrophobic group of the cationic surfactant 9 is oriented toward the liquid phase side. As a result, the glass surface exhibits hydrophobicity and is wetted with the dispersed phase-forming oily liquid, so that any monodisperse emulsion cannot be produced.
  • the method of the invention makes it possible to produce monodisperse emulsions with the surfactant concentration being as low as about one thirtieth to one tenth the critical micelle concentration. This is because the surfactant is required only in small amounts for the stabilization of emulsion particles since the emulsion particles are uniform in size.
  • anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant and dispersing agent to be added to the aqueous continuous phase liquid are not limited to any particular species if they are soluble in the aqueous continuous phase liquid. As examples, the following may be mentioned.
  • the porous glass membrane is rendered hydrophobic by surface treatment, and the same oil-soluble surfactant as mentioned above is dissolved in the continuous phase liquid (oily phase) in an amount of about 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably about 0.5 to 2% by weight.
  • the continuous phase-forming liquid is not particularly limited and may include, organic solvents, petroleum-derived oils, and animal and vegetable oils.
  • a water-soluble substance may be added to the dispersed phase-forming liquid (aqueous phase).
  • the water-soluble substance is not particularly limited and may include inorganic salts, organic salts, saccharides and macromolecular substances.
  • the water-soluble substance is added in an amount within the range of 0.05% by weight based on the dispersed phase-forming liquid to saturation, preferably 0.5% on the same basis to saturation.
  • double emulsions can be obtained by introducing under pressure a w/o type single emulsion prepared in advance into a continuous phase liquid (aqueous phase) through a hydrophilic porous glass membrane. It is important that the pore size of the porous glass membrane is at least equal to, preferably at least about 1.5 times, the maximum particle size that the single emulsion shows. If the pore size of the porous glass membrane is less than the maximum single emulsion particle size, filtration of single emulsion particles will occur through the porous glass membrane.
  • the single emulsion particles adjusted to a particle concentration of about 1 to 70% pass through the membrane without meeting any resistance within the pores to form a double emulsion.
  • the size of emulsion particles in said double emulsion can be controlled within the range of 0.3 to 40 ⁇ m, as in the case of single emulsions.
  • an o/w type single emulsion prepared in advance is introduced under pressure into a continuous phase liquid (oily phase) through a porous glass membrane rendered hydrophobic by preliminary surface treatment.
  • a continuous phase liquid oil (oily phase)
  • a porous glass membrane rendered hydrophobic by preliminary surface treatment.
  • FIG. 4 An apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention is shown by way of example in Fig. 4.
  • the construction and operation of this apparatus may be summarized as follows.
  • a cylindrical porous glass membrane 10 is fixed inside a module 11.
  • a dispersed phase-forming liquid stored in a tank 12 is caused under pressure, namely by high pressure nitrogen gas from a cylinder 13, to fill a line 14, the outer side of the cylindrical porous glass membrane 10 in the module 11, and a line 16 fitted with a pressure gage 15.
  • a valve 17 is then closed, so that a pressure below the critical pressure is applied to the dispersed phase-forming liquid.
  • a continuous phase-forming liquid is circulated from a tank 18 containing the same through a pump 19, a line 20, the internal side of the cylindrical porous glass membrane 10 in the module 11, and a line 22 fitted with a pressure gage 21, to said tank.
  • the pressure on the dispersed phase-forming liquid is then increased to a level of or above the critical pressure to thereby cause the dispersed phase-forming liquid to pass through the pores of the porous glass membrane 10 and form emulsion particles.
  • the apparatus is continuingly operated until a desired dispersed phase concentration is attained. Monodisperse single emulsions are prepared in this way.
  • the apparatus shown in Fig. 4 can be used also for the production of double emulsions.
  • a w/o/w type emulsion prepared in advance is charged into the tank 12, while a continuous phase liquid (aqueous phase) is charged into the tank 18.
  • a continuous phase liquid aqueous phase
  • the same operation as mentioned above is performed to introduce the w/o type emulsion into the continuous phase liquid through the hydrophilic porous glass membrane 10 fixed inside the module 11, to give a w/o/w type emulsion.
  • FIG. 5 An example of the module to be used in the practice of the invention is schematically shown in section in Fig. 5.
  • a cylindrical porous glass membrane 27 alone is shown by appearance, not in section.
  • This module is composed of a tightening cap 23, a housing 24, a spacer 25, an O ring 26 and the cylindrical porous glass membrane 27.
  • a dispersed phase-forming liquid fed through an inlet 28 is introduced under pressure from the outside of the cylindrical porous glass membrane 27 into a continuous phase liquid flowing in the inside of said membrane.
  • emulsion particles uniform in particle size can be obtained and, in addition, the particle size can be controlled as desired.
  • the emulsions provided by the invention and comprising particles uniform in size contribute to markedly improve the performance characteristics of various materials produced by using said emulsions.
  • the emulsions markedly improve the quality of solid particles obtained therefrom.
  • the invention is very useful in the production of various materials which require emulsification treatment for their production, for example in the production of foods, medicines, cosmetics, pigments, functional plastic particles, functional inorganic material particles, raw materials for fine ceramics and so forth as well as in solvent extraction.
  • Example 15 Using the same porous glass membrane as used in Example 1 having a pore size of 0.56 ⁇ m, the state of charging in water (zeta potential) was examined at various pH levels. The results are as shown in Fig. 15.
  • the untreated hydrophilic porous glass membrane had a negative charge of -15 to -35 mV within the pH range of 2 to 8 [cf. curve (b)].
  • hydrophilic porous glass membrane treated with 2-aminoethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane showed a positive charge of +20 to +55 mV [cf. curve (a)].
