Abstract

Emulsification of oil in water has got a number of industrial as well as medicinal applications, however very little systematic work has been carried out upon it. Therefore we have considered a very simple system of n-hexane, dispersed in water and tried to understand the mechanism of emulsification by looking into the effect of ultrasonication time over the quality of emulsion. The techniques employed for the purpose were optical microscopic measurements and turbidity measurement It has been observed that the distribution of size/number becomes narrowest after minutes of ultrasonication time. However, if the period is prolonged further then the distribution starts widening.
