Abstract: A mixing apparatus for mixing powder and liquid, includes: an apparatus main body having an internal space; a cylindrical member arranged in the internal space with one end facing upward and the other end facing downward, the one end and the other end being opened; a powder dispersing portion arranged above the apparatus main body, the powder dispersing portion dispersing the powder into a space of the cylindrical member; a liquid spraying portion arranged in a vicinity of the powder dispersing portion, the liquid spraying portion spraying the liquid into a space of the cylindrical member; a collection portion arranged below the apparatus main body, the collection portion collecting a mixed powder consisting of the powder dispersed by the powder dispersing portion and the liquid sprayed by the liquid spraying portion; a filter arranged around the cylindrical member in the internal space; and a discharge port discharging air in the internal space through the filter.

Abstract: A cyclone main body includes a cylinder-shaped upper barrel and an inverse cone-shaped lower barrel; a top plate which covers a top edge of the upper barrel and includes an opening at a center portion; a first introduction pipe which introduces a first fluid containing powder along an inner wall surface of the cyclone main body; a second introduction pipe which is disposed near the top plate in a portion upper than the first introduction pipe and introduces a second fluid; an exhaust pipe which is inserted in the opening of the top plate along a vertical center axis of the cyclone main body, makes an exhaust flow rise from the cyclone main body, and discharges the exhaust flow from the cyclone main body; and a collecting section which collects powder separated by turning movement of each of the first fluid and the second fluid in the cyclone main body.

Abstract: Including droplet and powder which has a liquid repellent property with respect to the droplet and is attached to the surface of the droplet.
