要する為、実用上問題が多かった。In the case of photographic light-sensitive materials, for example, dye-forming couplers, the conventional method for producing the oil-in-water emulsion is to use an emulsifying dispersion machine such as the above-mentioned homomixer, homogenizer, colloid mill, 70-noe totomixer, ultrasonic device, etc. A method has been adopted to use When a colloid mill, a homomixer, a 70-noetomixer, or the like is used as an emulsifying and dispersing machine, a sufficiently finely divided emulsion cannot be obtained, and this is often inappropriate as a method for dispersing hydrophobic photographic compounds. In addition, when using an ultrasonic dispersion machine or a high-pressure homogenizer, although a sufficiently finely divided emulsion can be obtained, a large amount of heat is generated during the dispersion process, and a large amount of energy is required to obtain a large amount of emulsion. Therefore, there were many practical problems.

体の粘度は、重要なパラメータとなる。As a method for ejecting fluid into the shearing chamber, a planter pump, gear pump, Mo7 pump, etc. can be used depending on the purpose. In addition, the shearing chamber has a multi-stage shearing chamber structure in which the outflow port 3 of a unit shearing chamber cell is connected to the inflow port 1 of another cell, and the solution is continuously passed through, thereby further atomizing the dispersed particles and making them homogeneous. It is possible to promote the In the embodiments described above, in order to effectively perform emulsification and dispersion, the speed at which the solution is ejected into the shearing chamber is important, and by controlling this ejection speed, the average particle size of the desired emulsion can be adjusted. It is possible to maintain the level of diameter. The optimum value of the ejection speed varies depending on the type and properties of the liquid to be emulsified and dispersed, but the viscosity of the liquid is an important parameter.
