editI understand that there is a need for Emulsion in asphalt road laying. I want to know why? How the emulsion is created? What are th ealternatives. What they did when one such emulsion was not present? How to avoid using the asphalt emulsion and use some environmental friendly emulsion....
"In butter and margarine, a continuous liquid phase surrounds droplets of water (water-in-oil emulsion)." Shouldn't this be "a continuous oil phase"? I came here to read what an emulsion is, so I'm not familiar with these terms, but that would make more sense.
~Oil is not a phase, so "continuous oil phase" would not make sense. Oil is a liquid and thus liquid is the "phase". I hope this makes sense.
- I agree. Oil is not a phase, so, "continuous oil phase" does not make sense. However, the same mistake is made later in the sentance with "continuous water phase". I recommend editing the sentance to the following:
"In butter and margarine, oil surrounds droplets of water (a water-in-oil emulsion). In milk and cream, water surrounds droplets of oil (an oil-in-water emulsion). "
This is simple and gets the point across. -TEDMONDS April 17, 2008
