Abstract:
A fluid is processed between processing surfaces capable of approaching to and separating from each other, at least one of which rotates relative to the other. A first fluid is introduced between processing surfaces, by using a micropump effect acting with a depression arranged on the processing surfaces from the center of the rotating processing surfaces. A second fluid, independent of this introduced fluid, is introduced from another fluid path that is provided with an opening leading to the processing surfaces, whereby the processing is done by mixing and stirring between the processing members.
Abstract:
It is an object to provide a method for producing titanium dioxide superfine particles, which produces monodispersed titanium dioxide superfine particles depending on its purpose, causes no clogging with a product due to self-dischargeability, requires no great pressure, and is excellent in productivity. In the method for producing titanium dioxide superfine particles in a fluid containing a titanium compound by separation, the fluid is formed into a thin film fluid between two processing surfaces arranged so as to be able to approach to and separate from each other, at least one of which rotates relative to the other, and the titanium dioxide superfine particles are separated in the thin film fluid.

Abstract:
A to-be-treated body, which contains raw material particles 5 of a substance and with which a solvent 4 of a to-be-treated liquid 2 is made solid, is used, and a laser light source 10, which supplies a laser light of a predetermined wavelength to a treatment chamber 3 that contains the to-be-treated body, is provided to arrange a production apparatus 1A. The laser light from the laser light source 10 is illuminated onto the to-be-treated body to microparticulate the substance in solvent 4. As the to-be-treated body of solid form, a solidified body 6, with which water 4 is solidified by a cooling device 50 and the solidified state is maintained by a thermally insulating layer 30, may be used. Or, as the to-be-treated body, a gel body, with which the solvent is gelled, may be used. The substance can thereby microparticulated efficiently by photo-pulverization.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and a device, by which it is possible to decompose and treat a large amount of organic halogen compounds, etc. which are environmental pollutants, to a low concentration range at which it is dischargeable as waste liquor to sewage in a short time, and it is also possible to decompose organic substances and nitrogen or phosphorus compounds which are hardly decomposable by oxidation. To a sample solution 20 contained in a reaction vessel 10a in which an aqueous solution containing environmental pollutants is stored, for example, ultrasonic waves 50 are irradiated from a transducer 30a disposed at the central bottom portion of the reaction vessel 10a, and at the same time, ultraviolet rays are irradiated from an ultraviolet lamp 40a disposed at the peripheral edge of the reaction vessel 10a. In this instance, the ultraviolet lamp 40a is disposed at a position such that it does not interfere with the path of travel of ultrasonic waves 50.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discusses a device and method for improving the reaction rate of enzymatic modification of biopolymers. A thermophoretic device is used to increase the rate of enzymatic reactions with biopolymers by creating a temperature gradient using a heating element and a cooling element. The use of a temperature gradient within a cavity in the thermophoretic device concentrates the reacts along an interior surface of the device, increasing the reaction rate.

Abstract:
A forced ultrathin film rotary reaction method is used to maintain a minute space of 1 mm or less between two processing surfaces capable of approaching to and separating from each other and being rotating relative to each other, and the minute space is maintained between the two processing surfaces to serve as a flow path of a fluid to be processed thereby forming a forced thin film of the processed fluid and separating the pigment material in the forced thin film.

Abstract:
With this invention, in a nanoparticle production method, wherein nanoparticles are produced by irradiating a laser light irradiation portion 2a of a to-be-treated liquid 8 with a laser light, in which suspended particles are suspended, to pulverize the suspended particles in laser light irradiation portion 2a, laser light irradiation portion 2a of to-be-treated liquid 8 is cooled. In this case, by the cooling of to-be-treated liquid 8, the respective suspended particles are cooled in their entireties. When the portion 2a of this to-be-treated liquid 8 is irradiated with the laser light, the laser light is absorbed at the surfaces of the suspended particles at portion 2a. Since to-be-treated liquid 8 is cooled during this process, significant temperature differences arise between the interiors and surfaces of the suspended particles and between the surfaces of the suspended particles and the to-be-treated liquid at laser light irradiation portion 2a, and highly efficient nanoparticulation is realized.
