Apparatus, methods, and systems for mixing and dispersing a dispersed phase in a medium

A method for mixing and dispersing a dispersed phase in a medium, the method comprising:

• a) making the medium receptive by depositing the medium onto a rotating disk to form a rotating thin film;
• b) aerosolizing the dispersed phase;
• c) depositing constituents of the aerosolized dispersed phase into the rotating thin film to form a compound;
• d) forming a film of the compound on the rotating disk;
• e) directing the film of the compound upwardly and away from a center of the rotating disk along a transverse distal surface;
• f) forming compound projectiles from the film of the compound by ejecting the film of the compound from an outer edge of the transverse distal surface;
• and
• g) collecting the compound projectiles as a liquid on a collecting surface;
• further comprising a step of recirculating the collected compound projectiles into the medium for further depositing additional constituents of the aerosolized dispersed phase into the recirculated collected compound projectiles.
