Continuous and regulated organic micro bubble generation using lumped gas and organic injected junction

Continuous and regulated micro bubble generation system was realized in a water flow microchannel including a lumped gas and organic injection junction. The idea was originated in the soap bubble formation. The diameter and thickness of organic micro bubble were well controlled by the flow rates of water and organic respectively. The controllable diameter of the bubble was ranged from 110 mum to 220 mum, while its thickness from 4 mum to 16 mum. The generation rate is mainly dependant on the water flow rate. The organic phase membrane is useful for the chemical reaction media. The organic bubbles are expected to be used as capsules of reactive gas handling.
