Abstract: A method is provided for producing separated substances, particularly metal compounds, the dopant element amounts of which have been controlled by the use of an apparatus that processes fluid between the processing surfaces of a processing member that can be made to approach/separate and which rotate relative to each other. The substance to be separated is separated by mixing a raw material solution, wherein the substance to be separated is solubilized in a solvent, with the solvent for separation and with the dopant element or dopant element-containing substance solubilized in at least one solvent selected from the solvent of said raw material solution, said solvent for separation or a solvent other than that of said raw material solution or said solution for separation. Separated substances with controlled dopant element amounts are obtained by controlling the solubility of the dopant element or dopant element-containing substance in the solvent for separation.

Abstract: Equipment for treating a matter to be treated more stably and uniformly between approaching/receding treatment planes in a treatment section where at least one plane can rotate relatively to the other plane. Treatment is performed by introducing a first fluid containing a matter to be treated between the treatment planes, introducing a second fluid containing the matter to be treated between the treatment planes from a channel independent from the channel which introduced the first fluid and communicating with the space between the treatment planes and then mixing and stirring them between the treatment planes. The outlet portion of the channel introducing the second fluid to the space between the treatment planes is provided with a plurality of split channels.

Abstract: The surface of fine pigment particles is efficiently treated using low energy without causing a cost increase. Provided is a method of treating the surface of fine pigment particles, characterized by maintaining a small gap of 1 mm or narrower between two treating surfaces which are able to get close to and apart from each other and relatively rotate and using the gap between the two treating surfaces which is kept so narrow, as a passage for a fluid to be treated, thereby forming a thin film of the fluid to be treated (forced thin film). Fine pigment particles are formed in this thin-film fluid (forced thin film). The method is further characterized by modifying the surface of the formed fine pigment particles within the thin-film fluid (forced thin film).

Abstract: It is an object to provide a method for producing compound semiconductor particles in which monodisperse compound semiconductor particles can be prepared according to the intended object, clogging with products does not occur due to self-dischargeability, a large pressure is not necessary, and productivity is high. In producing compound semiconductor particles by separating and precipitating, in a fluid, semiconductor raw materials, 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 semiconductor raw materials are separated and precipitated in the thin film fluid.
