Abstract

A method and a device for gentle continuous mixing of a droplet dispersion with a liquid are described, wherein the liquid is injected into the droplet dispersion in the form of a plurality of fine liquid jets, such that the kinetic energy of the liquid jets is dissipated at a short distance from the injection point and further mixing is effected by circulating flow generated in the vessel and exhibiting shear rates of less than 20/s.
