Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un liquide à phase stable, dans lequel : a) dans une première étape on mélange un liquide lipophile et un liquide hydrophile de façon à obtenir un mélange de ces liquides, b) dans une seconde étape on abaisse la pression statique du mélange en dessous de la pression de vapeur de l'un au moins des liquides de façon à former des bulles de cavitation, et c) dans une troisième étape on laisse imploser les bulles de cavitation afin d'obtenir un liquide monophasique stable.
