Oil, water, and additives are mixed together to form water-in-oil particles. The diameter is on the order of μm, and the stabilization period is 3 months or even half a year. It is difficult to manufacture. The first is the choice of additives. Additives are related to factors such as calorific value, flash point, and stabilization period of fuel. In addition, the economy of fuel should also be considered. Additives have good performance, but if they are not economical, the emulsified oil produced is more expensive than diesel or gasoline. Obviously, there is no market, so there is no way out. Many of our studies cannot go to the market, which is probably an important reason. Therefore, the selection of additives requires a lot of experiments to optimize the ideal additive formula, which varies depending on the application object.

The preparation of emulsified oil can be done by mechanical means to stop stirring, shearing, mixing, atomizing, etc. of the proportionally prepared oil, water, and additives to make the particle diameter reach the request. In the report, there is also a method of mechanical stopping the initial mixing and then ultrasonic to promote the emulsification of oil, water, and additives. The use of ultrasound for chemical reactions is called sonochemistry. In sonochemistry, phacoemulsification can accelerate the chemical reaction process, improve the reaction yield, prevent some side reactions, and reduce reaction conditions.
When ultrasonic waves propagate in liquid media, they exhibit mechanical, thermal and cavitation mechanisms of action, which produce a series of effects on the sound-transmitting medium. The main advantage of phacoemulsification is that no or less surface active agents are used. The sonographer transmits energy to the oil through the transducer. Equipment for handling several thousand liters at 10kW/h has been presented. There are reports of magnetization technology being used for fuel emulsification.
