Improvement of the installation for obtaining microcapsules

This article considers obtaining microcapsules using the spraying method by enhancing the device. To enhance the device, the peristaltic pump, peristaltic pump drive motor, and filter were replaced. The replaced components were substituted with a circulation pump, nozzle, and jikler. For the jikler experiments, solutions were prepared at concentrations of 0.5% and 1% alginate. At a concentration of 0.5% alginate, the capsules obtained by spraying were soft, irregularly shaped, with an average diameter of 2.0×10 -3 m due to their low viscosity. At a concentration of 1% alginate, the capsules obtained by the drip method were spherical, with correct shapes, and solid, with an average diameter of 4.90×10 -3 m due to their high viscosity. For experiments with a nozzle, solutions were prepared at concentrations of 0.5% and 1% alginate. At a concentration of 0.5% alginate, the capsules obtained by spraying were soft, irregularly shaped, with an average diameter of 2.56×10 -3 m due to their low viscosity. At a concentration of 1% alginate, the capsules obtained by the drip method were uniformly round and dense, with an average size of 3.34×10 -3 m due to their high viscosity.
