Dataset for Continuous Production of Cellulose Microbeads by Rotary Jet Atomization

Continuous Production of Cellulose Microbeads by Rotary Jet Atomization. Data which concerns the production of cellulose microbeads using ionic liquids, co-solvents and jet breakup. This data reports on the continuous fabrication of cellulose microbeads in the size range 20-500 μm with narrow size distribution, via rotary jet atomization. Utilizing Rayleigh breakup as a method of droplet generation, jets of cellulose dissolved in solutions of [EMIm][OAc] and DMSO are expelled from rotating nozzle systems, generating droplets which, when captured in a suitable anti-solvent bath, initiate phase-inversion allowing regeneration of the cellulose into beads. The dataset includes calculations of dimensionless parameters as well as droplet sizes and distributions.
