Abstract: In certain gelation processes the gelling of liquid droplets to produce gel spheres is achieved by allowing the droplets to fall into a liquid reagent which acts to gel the droplets. According to the present invention a foam layer is provided above the surface of the liquid reagent so as to inhibit the droplets from contacting the surface of the liquid reagent at a velocity sufficient to disrupt or substantially distort the droplets. Gelation apparatus for conducting the process is also disclosed, said apparatus having a column vertically divided by a baffle into a turbulent bubble region, and a substantially quiescent region through which the droplets fall after the partially gelled droplets have previously passed through the foam layer.
