Abstract
A new nozzle was designed for the technology of making microencapsulated particles by rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS). The design is based on the theory of gas dynamics in which the potential energy of high stagnation pressure is converted totally into effective velocity energy. Therefore, a high momentum of the exit jet can be obtained for improving the capability of removing molten debris quickly. Furthermore, the microencapsulated red phosphorus particles were prepared by RESS with the new nozzle, and the structure and property of the microencapsulated red phosphorus particles were characterized by the SEM images, droplet concentration distributions, and moisture absorption ratio. The results show that the process can effectively encapsulate the red phosphorus particles with the paraffin.
