Abstract
An apparatus and corresponding process can be used for producing nanocarriers and or nanoformulations and corresponding process products. The apparatus is characterized by a vertical orientation of the feed conduits leading to active element. The feed conduits are nested within one another and are axially movable in terms of their orientation to one another. The process provides for the mixing of at least two liquid phases with different acidities. The volume flow of the first phase is greater than that of the second phase.
Claims22
An apparatus for producing nanocarriers and/or nanoformulations, the apparatus comprising:
- a) a first reservoir vessel for accommodating a first liquid phase;
- b) a second reservoir vessel for accommodating a second liquid phase;
- c) an active element for providing an at least biphasic mixture by mixing the first liquid phase with the second liquid phase;
- d) a first feed by which the first reservoir vessel is in fluid communication with the active element;
- d) a second feed by which the second reservoir vessel is in fluid communication with the active element;
- f) a collection vessel for accommodating the mixture;
- g) a discharge by which the active element is in fluid communication with the collection vessel;
- h) a pump which is incorporated in the discharge in such a way that the mixture is conveyable by the pump from the active element via the discharge into the collection vessel;
- wherein
- the first feed and the second feed are vertically oriented at least on a vertical section;
- on the vertical section the second feed is arranged inside the first feed;
- and
- on the vertical section the first feed or the second feed or both feeds are axially displaceable such that an axial position of the second feed relative to the first feed is adjustable.
