To add to Christ's post.

When fuel is atomized into hopefully very fine particles, the surface area of those particles increases many times above the surface area of the fuel before atomization. This allows better atomization of the fuel before combustion.

Warmer air as well as warmer fuel promote better atomization.

What is possible is when you get to the ideal homogenized mixture, combustion occurs simultaneously at every point in the combustion chamber, and emissions drop dramatically, to the point where you no longer need to have a catalytic converter or any other after treatment of the exhaust.

No spark is required, the heat of compression spontaneously ignites the perfectly mixed fuel air combination, even at air-fuel ratios of 80 to 1.

In other words you have solved the emissions problems by creating the most perfect mixture possible.
