The effect of pore geometry on premix membrane emulsification using nickel sieves having uniform pores

Oil-in-water premix membrane emulsification was successfully carried out using various nickel sieves having rectangular (width<

► Premix membrane emulsification was carried out using nickel sieves having rectangular (width⪡length) or squared pores.
► Inertial forces were found to be more important for rectangular pores.
► For squared pores spontaneous droplet break-up due to Laplace pressure differences may be more important.
