Method and apparatus for producing emulsion

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of efficiently manufacturing an emulsion that is improved in monodispersibility by a membrane emulsification method. The manufacturing method for an emulsion of the present invention includes circulating a mixed liquid containing a water phase and an oil phase in a circulation circuit including one or more tanks, a porous body, liquid-delivering means, and circulation pipes configured to connect the tanks, the porous body, and the liquid-delivering means so that the mixed liquid passes through the porous body a plurality of times, wherein the circulation circuit further includes a gas-separating device, and wherein the gas-separating device is configured to remove air bubbles from the mixed liquid therethrough.
