    What mixing parameters control particle size and stability in bitumen emulsion production?

    Particle size is controlled by colloid mill rotor speed, stator gap, throughput rate, and temperature differential between bitumen and soap phase. Emulsifier concentration and pH directly affect droplet stability. Excessive shear can cause over-grinding and instability, while insufficient shear leads to coarse emulsions. Consistent dosing and temperature control are essential to maintain a narrow particle size distribution and long storage life.
