Definitions
- the present invention describes a process for generating multi-component capillary liquid jets of immiscible liquids whose diameters can vary from a few tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns, as well as a relatively monodispersed spray of electrically charged multicomponent drops generated from the rupture due to capillary instabilities of compound jets.
- Said immiscible liquids flow, at appropriate flow rates, through metallic needles connected to high voltage sources.
- the electrical conductivity of a liquid, or more than one is sufficiently high, then the liquid can be charged through itself and can be injected through non-metallic needles (i.e. silica tube).
- the needles are arranged so that one of the needles contains the rest of the needles inside, and may or may not be located concentrically with each other.
- the electric forces can extrude the jets until they reach diameters in a range from 100 microns to a few nanometers.
- the device and method objects of the present invention are applicable to fields such as Materials Science and Food Technology, where the generation and controlled manipulation of structured jets of micro or nanometric size is an essential part of the process.
- this invention uses electrohydrodynamic forces (EHD) to extrude and atomize a liquid jet.
- EHD electrohydrodynamic forces
- a liquid flow rate is emitted in the form of a micro jet from the tip of a Taylor cone.
- the rupture of said jet produces a mist of charged drops called electrospray.
- This configuration is often referred to as electrospray in cone-jet mode (M. Cloupeau and B. Prunet-Foch, J. Electrostatics, 22, 135-159, 1992).
- the laws of scale of the emitted comment and the size of the drops of this type of electrospray are well described in the literature (J.
- Multilayer flow electrospray ion source using improved sheath liquid (1991) two or more miscible liquids are injected and mixed into the Taylor cone, for the purpose of improving ion transmission, stability and sensitivity of a mass spectrometer
- the novel contribution of the present invention lies in the use of immiscible (or poorly miscible) liquids to form, by means of EHD, a structured Taylor cone surrounded by a dielectric atmosphere (gas, liquid or vacuum), as shown in the Figure 1.
- the highly charged structured micro / nanometer jet emitted from the apex of the Taylor cone finally breaks into a spray of highly charged structured micro / nanometer monodispersed drops.
- structured micro / nanometric jet we mean an almost cylindrical jet composed of layers approximately concentric of immiscible liquids, whose outer diameter varies between 50 microns and a few nanometers.
- highly charged structured micro / nanometric monodispersed drops spray we mean particles with net charge, formed by layers of different liquids or by an outer layer of the liquid that is injected by the outside and a heart of an emulsion.
- the external diameter of said particle can vary between 50 microns and a few nanometers.
- An advantage of this invention is that the particles that are formed have a uniform size, and that said size can be easily varied from tens of microns to a few nanometers, depending on the properties of the injected liquids and flows.
- the outer liquid is a solution containing monomers, which polymerize under an appropriate excitation to produce micro / nanometric capsules.
- the aerosol can be neutralized, for example, by a corona discharge.
- the present invention aims at the device and the method for producing multi-component stationary liquid jets and micro and nanometric capsules.
- the device consists of a number N of N liquid feeding tips, such that a flow rate Qi of an ith liquid flows through each i-nth feed tip, i being a value between 1 and N.
- Said feeding tips are connected to a electric potential Vi with respect to a reference electrode, and arranged so that the liquid (il) -th surrounds the ith feed tip.
- the ith liquid that circulates through the ith feed tip is immiscible or poorly miscible with liquids (+ +)) ésth and il ()) ésth.
- an electrified liquid capillary meniscus is formed with a substantially conical shape and from whose apex a stationary capillary stream formed by the N liquids is emitted, such that the ith liquid surrounds the liquid (i +1) - th.
- the capillary stream has a diameter between 100 microns and 15 nanometers that is smaller than the characteristic diameter of the electrified liquid meniscus from which it emanates.
- the device can also be arranged requiring only that the external liquid surround all the feeding tips.
- an electrically capillary meniscus is formed in a substantially conical manner and from whose apex a stationary capillary stream formed by the N liquids is emitted, so that the liquid 1 surrounds the rest of the liquids.
- the N power tips of the device must have diameters between 0.0 lmm and 5 mm.
- the feed rate of the liquid flowing through the outermost feed tip is between 10 "15 m 3 / s and 10 " 7 m 3 / s, and the feed rates of the liquids flowing through the internal feed tips are between 10 "15 m 3 / s and 10 " 7 m 3 / s.
- the applied electrical potential must be between ION and 30KV.
- the device object of the invention consists of: a) a supply tip 1 through which a flow rate Ql of a liquid 1 flows and connected to an electric potential VI. b) a feed tip 2 through which a flow rate Q2 of a liquid 2 flows and connected to an electrical potential V2 arranged in such a way that the feed tip 2 is surrounded by the liquid 1 and the potentials VI and V2 are differential values with respect to an electrode connected to a reference potential.
- Liquids 1 and 2 are immiscible or poorly miscible.
- a electrically liquid capillary meniscus is formed in a substantially conical manner and a stationary capillary stream formed by liquids 1 and 2 is emitted from its apex, so that liquid 1 completely surrounds liquid 2.
- Said hair jet has a diameter between 100 microns and 15 nanometers that is smaller than the characteristic diameter of the electrified liquid meniscus from which it emanates.
- the process object of the invention will produce stationary liquid jets and micro and nanometric size capsules by flowing N flow rates Qi of liquid through each of the N feeding tips of the device described above so that the ith liquid which circulates through the ith feed tip, surrounds the feed tip (i + 1) -th, and is immiscible or poorly miscible with liquids (i + 1) -th and e-il).
- an electrified liquid capillary meniscus is formed with a substantially conical shape and from whose apex a stationary capillary stream formed by the N liquids is emitted, such that the ith liquid surrounds the liquid (i +1) - th.
- Said capillary jet has a diameter between 100 microns and 15 nanometers that is smaller than the characteristic diameter of the electrified liquid meniscus from which it emanates. When the jet ruptures spontaneously, capsules of size between 100 microns and 15 nanometers are formed.
- Figure 1 Scheme of the device used to produce liquid jets composed of micro and nanometric sizes
- the basic apparatus used in both configurations consists of: (1) a means for supplying a first liquid 1 through a metal tube TI, whose outer and inner diameters are approximately 1 and 0.7 mm respectively. (2) means for supplying a second liquid 2, immiscible with liquid 1, through a metal tube T2, whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of TI. In this case, T2 is concentrically located inside of IT. The end of the tubes does not have to be in the same axial position. (3) A reference electrode, such as a metal ring, located about 8 mm in front of the end of T2; The hole in the ring is aligned with the IT axis. (4) A high voltage source, with one of the poles connected to IT and the other connected to the reference electrode. IT and
- T2 may not be connected to the same electrical potential. All components are immersed in a dielectric atmosphere that can be a gas, a liquid immiscible with liquid 1, or a vacuum. Part of the spray generated, or even the jet structured, it can be extracted through the hole in (3) for further processing or characterization.
- a dielectric atmosphere can be a gas, a liquid immiscible with liquid 1, or a vacuum. Part of the spray generated, or even the jet structured, it can be extracted through the hole in (3) for further processing or characterization.
- EHD forces need to act on at least one of the two liquids, although they can do so on both.
- the motor liquid that on which the EHD forces act to form the Taylor cone.
- the motor liquid flows through the annular space between TI and T2 while in the second configuration the motor liquid flows through T2 and the second liquid flows through the annular space between TI and T2.
- the electrical conductivity of the "motor liquid" be high enough to allow the formation of the Taylor cone.
- the liquid 1 when a sufficiently high electric potential difference between TI and (3) is applied, the liquid 1 (motor liquid) can develop a Taylor cone, from whose apex a charged stationary micro / nanometer jet is emitted ( cone-jet mode stationary).
- the characteristic conical shape of the meniscus is due to a balance between surface tension forces and electrical forces acting simultaneously on the surface of the meniscus.
- the movement of the liquid is caused by the electrical tangential stress acting on the surface of the meniscus, pulling the liquid towards the tip of the Taylor cone.
- the mechanical balance described above is no longer satisfied, so the meniscus surface changes from conical to cylindrical.
- the reasons for this loss of balance may be due, depending on the operating regime, the importance of the kinetic energy of the liquid or the finite value of its electrical conductivity.
- the ejected liquid due to EHD forces, must be continuously replaced by the appropriate injection of liquid 1 through TI in order to achieve a steady state; let Ql be the flow supplied to IT.
- the stability of this precursor state can be characterized by monitoring the current / transported by the jet and the aerosol that is collected in (3).
- the movement of liquid 1 inside the Taylor cone may be dominated by viscosity, in which case the velocity of the liquid at any point inside the Taylor cone It is predominantly directed towards the tip of the cone.
- the flow inside the cone can exhibit strong recirculations, which should be avoided to produce a structured micro / nanometric jet.
- the flow In the event that the flow is dominated by viscosity, then it is able to form a structured micro / nanometric jet.
- liquid 2 must be supplied continuously through T2.
- the liquid meniscus 2, which is formed inside the Taylor cone developed by liquid 1 is suctioned towards the tip of the cone by the action of the movement of 1.
- the meniscus of the liquid 2 can develop a conical tip from which the movement of A is capable of extracting a micro / nanometric jet.
- the liquid 2 must be continuously supplied to T2 (say at a flow rate Q2) to achieve a steady state.
- a photopolymer can be used as the outer liquid.
- the rupture of the structured jet by capillary instability results in the formation of a spray of structured drops that, under the action of an ultraviolet light source, manage to encapsulate the inner liquid.
