video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...
