• Atomization is a process of breaking a liquid solution into small droplets & then to produce micro-particles such as metal powders/alloys, wherein the types of atomization are carried out based on the type of fluid being used like centrifugal atomization & other types.
• In the conventional process, the production of micro-particles are used for mass production & the size of the micro-particles typically≥100 microns which are fluidized & dried.
• However, the broader sized of micro-particles are not suitable for synthesis of micro-particles for drug encapsulation, wherein the requirement is uniform sized & narrow size distribution of micro-particles.
• This Invention provides solution of said issues.

• Present invention describes a spinning disc atomization apparatus for producing micro-particles, shown in Fig. 1 & 2.
• Said apparatus comprises a 1st enclosure configured to receive & dispense a feed solution, a 2nd enclosure defines a collection area, a base supporting 1st & 2nd enclosure, at least one slit defined for each of the 1st & 2nd enclosures to dispense a predefined volume of micro-droplets into a precipitation chamber, including associated interlinked assemblies.
• Further, the micro-droplets come in contact with an anti-solvent mixture in the precipitation chamber to form solid microparticles of narrow size distribution. (Refer Figs. 3 & 4)
• Nitrogen gas is supplied through connecting channels from a cylinder for drying & produce solid micro-particles.
