Abstract

A method of forming droplets comprises flowing a liquid (65) through a channel (60); spreading the liquid into a thin film in the channel; and impinging the thin film with a flowing gas (100) to atomize the liquid (65) into droplets.
The droplets may then be dried to produce dried particles, such as particles comprising a pharmaceutical active agent. The droplets formed by the disclosed process have improved size and/or size distribution characteristics.

Claims (26)

1. A method of forming droplets, the method comprising:
flowing a liquid through a channel;
spreading the liquid into a thin film in the channel; and impinging the thin film with a flowing gas to atomize the liquid into droplets having a diameter less than 35 micrometers.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the thickness of the thin film is less than 0.020 in.
3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the thickness of the thin film is less than 0.005 in.
4. A method according to claim 1 wherein the liquid comprises a pharmaceutical active agent.
5. A method according to claim 1 further comprising contacting the thin film with a second flowing gas.
6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the thin film is cylindrically shaped.
7. A method of forming droplets, the method comprising:
flowing a liquid through a channel;
spreading the liquid into a thin film; and impinging the thin film with a flowing gas to atomize the liquid into droplets, the flowing gas impinging the thin film at a right angle.

12. A method of forming a pharmaceutical formulation, the method comprising:
flowing a liquid through a channel, the liquid comprising a pharmaceutical active agent;
spreading the liquid into a thin film;
impinging the thin film with a flowing gas to atomize the liquid into droplets;

21. An atomizer according to claim 17 wherein the first channel is shaped so that the thin film is cylindrically shaped.
22. An atomizer for forming droplets, the atomizer comprising:
a first channel through which a liquid may flow, the channel comprising a constriction for spreading the liquid into a thin film in the channel; and a second channel though which an atomizing gas may flow, the second channel being positioned so that the atomizing gas impinges the liquid thin film at a right angle to produce droplets.
23. An atomizer according to claim 22 wherein the constriction has a diameter less than 0.020 in.
24. An atomizer according to claim 22 wherein the constriction has a diameter less than 0.005 in.
25. An atomizer according to claim 22 wherein the first channel is shaped so that the thin film is cylindrically shaped.
26. A spray drying system for forming a pharmaceutical formulation, the system comprising:

an atomizer, the atomizer comprising a first channel through which a liquid may flow, the channel comprising a constriction for spreading the liquid into a thin film in the channel, the atomizer further comprising a second channel though which an atomizing gas may flow, the second channel being positioned so that the atomizing gas impinges the liquid thin film to produce droplets;
