Abstract: An emulsified dispersion liquid in which thin-film graphite et al. are used instead of a surfactant as an emulsifier. An emulsified dispersion liquid containing a medium liquid, an emulsification/dispersion material insoluble in the medium liquid, a thin-film graphite; and a carbon nanotube is disclosed. The emulsification/dispersion material is dispersed in the medium liquid in a state of being surrounded by the thin-film graphite with the carbon nanotube adhering to the surface of the thin-film graphite. An emulsified dispersion liquid containing a medium liquid, an emulsification/dispersion material insoluble in the medium liquid, and a carbon nanotube is disclosed. The emulsification/dispersion material is dispersed in the medium liquid in a state of being surrounded by the carbon nanotube.

Abstract: A system for manufacturing an emulsified/dispersed liquid has first and second emulsification/dispersion devices which produce the emulsified/dispersed liquid by emulsifying/dispersing emulsification/dispersion material in a liquid mixture into a medium liquid in the liquid mixture. A multistage pressure/temperature control device of a multistage type cools the emulsified/dispersed liquid discharged by the second emulsification/dispersion device while applying a backpressure which can prevent occurrence of bubbling to the first and second emulsification/dispersion devices. The multistage pressure/temperature control device reduces the pressure of the emulsified/dispersed liquid gradually or in stages, and finally lowers the pressure of the emulsified/dispersed liquid to a pressure that bubbling is not caused if the emulsification/dispersion liquid is released into an atmospheric condition.

Abstract: Lactic acid with high optical purity that has not previously been achieved is produced. It has been found that the optical purity of lactic acid is reduced as the racemization reaction of lactic acid proceeds when lactic acid coexists with glycerol. By reducing the amount of glycerol prior to concentrating lactic acid by heating, the optical purity of lactic acid after concentration by heating can be maintained at a high level.
