Background
The stator and rotor continuous dispersion mixer is one of the mixers with wide application range and high efficiency in the current process industry, can generate higher shearing and energy dissipation rate, has shorter retention time, is suitable for dispersion and mixing of materials with various systems and viscosities, and has good application prospect for rapid and complex reaction. Meanwhile, the dispersion mixer can also realize the effect of liquid dispersion. For example, studies have shown that the rotational speed, the residence time, the concentration of the material and the temperature have a large influence on the dispersion.
The nano-crystallization of Chinese herbal medicines is a hot spot of research and development at present. After the Chinese herbal medicines are nanocrystallized, the advantages are as follows: the surface area exposed in the medium is increased, and the dissolution of the effective components is promoted; the adhesion makes the effective component act on the absorption part for a longer time; the distribution of the effective components in the body is increased; the release, absorption and utilization of the effective components are improved; can effectively improve the solubility and dissolution of the active ingredients. The key technology of Chinese herbal medicine nanocrystallization lies in that Chinese herbal medicines are subjected to dispersion treatment, including methods of solid phase dispersion, liquid phase dispersion and the like. However, the method of using a stator-rotor continuous disperser has not been reported for dispersing Chinese herbal medicines.
