Method for the production of stable water fogs using an emulsified water-evaporation retarding chemical mixture
Abstract
Abstract STABLE WATER FOGS ARE MADE BY HEATING AN EMULSIFIED MIXTURE OF TWO IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS, WATER AND A LONG-CHAIN MONOHYDRIC FATTY ALCOHOL ABOVE THE MELTING POINT OF THE FATTY ALCOHOL. THE WATER AND FATTY ALCOHOL EVAPORATE AT A RATE PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR RESPECTIVE VAPOR AT A THE TEMPERATURE TO WHICH THE MIXTURE IS HEATED. THE EMULSIFIER MAY BE AN ANIONIC, CATIONIC, OR NON-IONIC SURFACTANT OR A MIXTURE OF SUCH SURFACTANTS. ELECTROLYTES MAY ALSO SERVE AS HE EMULSIFING AGENT. PREFERABLE A BUFFER IS ADDED TO THE WATER-ALCOHOL MIXTURE IN AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO GIVE A PH OF 7 OR ABOVE. THE EMULSIFIED WATER-FATTY ALCOHOL MIXTURE IS HEATED BY HOT COMBUSTION GASES FROM A REMOVABLE COMBUSTION UNIT PLACED IN A CONTAINER OF WATER.
