Working Principle, Mechanism And Method Of Ultrasonic Emulsification Instrument

Working principle of ultrasonic emulsification instrument:
Ultrasonic emulsification instrument ultrasonic extraction, with its advantages of low extraction temperature, high extraction rate, and short extraction time, is applied to the extraction of effective content in traditional Chinese medicine, oil, and various animals and plants. It is a modern high-tech means to replace traditional extraction processes and achieve energy-saving and environmentally friendly extraction. The superiority of ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the special physical properties of ultrasound, mainly through the rapid mechanical vibration waves generated by piezoelectric transducers to reduce the force between the target extract and the sample matrix, thus achieving solid-liquid extraction separation.
The simple method and mechanism of ultrasonic emulsification for extracting traditional Chinese medicine and natural drugs is to add extraction solvents (such as water, ethanol, or other organic solvents) to the container, crush or cut the traditional Chinese medicine into granules as needed, and place them in the extraction solvent; The outer wall of the container is bonded with a transducer vibrator or the vibrator is sealed in a stainless steel box and put into the container; Turn on the ultrasonic generator, and the oscillator emits ultrasonic waves into the extraction solvent. The 'cavitation effect' and mechanical action generated by ultrasonic waves in the extraction solvent can effectively break the cell wall of the medicinal material, making the active ingredients in a free state and dissolve in the extraction solvent. On the other hand, it can accelerate the molecular motion of the extraction solvent, allowing the extraction solvent and the active ingredients in the medicinal material to quickly come into contact, dissolve and mix with each other.
The main applications of ultrasonic emulsification equipment are:
1. Ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, cell fragmentation, bacterial and viral tissue fragmentation. For example, cell extraction of cell contents.
2. The dispersion and homogenization of material particles, as well as the emulsification of products. For example, the dispersion of nanomaterials.
3. Accelerate dissolution, accelerate chemical reactions. For example, used in chemical synthesis.
