Emulsions continued chemical amount

In continuous processes where a chemical solution or emulsion is applied to a fabric, the amount of chemical actually applied to the fabric depends on the amount... 

Higuchi and Misra were the first to show that if one of the components of a dispersed phase is completely insoluble in the continuous phase, then even small amounts of such a substance may stop the Ostwald ripening in the system. The reason for this is as follows. In a two-component dispersed phase system, the mass transfer of the more soluble component from small to larger drops caused by the difference in the Laplace pressures changes the composition of the drops. Namely, it increases the concentration of the poorly soluble component in the small drops and decreases it in the larger ones. According to Raoult s law, this results in a compensation of the difference in chemical potentials of the more soluble component caused by the difference in capillary pressures. When the capillary and concentration effects completely compensate, the mass transfer terminates and the drops come to equilibrium . This equilibrium implies the equality of the chemical potentials of the major component in all of the drops of the polydisperse emulsion. Such an equality is unattainable for the second component if its solubility in the continuous phase is truly zero. Kabalnov et have considered two cases as...
