In the context of the waste disposal of explosives, generally the suitability of the processing method is of importance. When processing explosives, the choice method of treatment, after having melted out the explosive, is to emulsify the aqueous solution of the melt for the purpose of disposing the emulsified explosives by subsequent emulsions the first aim is to produce a multiple phase system consisting of two components that are practically immiscible. For this purpose, emulsifying machines that work according to the rotational‐stationary principle are used. Colloid millsm, for instance, employ the viscous tensions in the laminar flow field to disrupt the droplets. Gear‐ring dispersing machines, on teh other hand, will cause a disruption oif the droplets by turbulent eddies. In this work the emulsifying equipment along with the mechanisms of drop deformation with subsequent disruption will be trated.
