Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of preparing spherical monodisperse titanium dioxide particles which facilitates handling of the powder, has a grain size of 0.3 to 10 microns and has high crystallinity. SOLUTION: Non-oxide raw material is melted by an oxygen-containing plasma and simultaneously the oxidation reaction of the melt is induced. Since the oxidation reaction is an endothermic reaction, temperature rises locally near the melt and the liquid drops of the oxide of 0.3 to 10 micros splash. These liquid drops are solidified, by which the crystalline spherical titanium dioxide powder is obtained.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a titanium dioxide particle which enables to take out fluorescence of a rare earth element highly efficiently. Specifically disclosed is a titanium dioxide particle wherein a titanium site is substituted with a rare earth element. Also specifically disclosed is a method for producing such a titanium dioxide particle. A method for producing a titanium dioxide particle doped with a rare earth element comprises a step for preparing a liquid precursor containing a titanium source and a rare earth metal source wherein the amount of rare earth element in the rare earth metal source is more than 0 at% and not more than 5.0 at%, a step for generating a thermal plasma, and a step for introducing the liquid precursor into the thermal plasma.

Abstract:
A zinc oxide phosphor characterized by emitting visible radiation with a broad emission spectrum close to white; and a process for producing the same. The process is characterized in that the luminous efficiency of zinc oxide phosphor is enhanced by subjecting powder obtained by mixing multiple additives with zinc oxide and effecting heat treatment of the mixture further to hydrogenation. The zinc oxide phosphor capable of broad luminescence covering a wide wavelength range over substantially all the region of visible radiation can find application in a white diode, a white vacuum fluorescent character display tube or a fluorescent paint.

Titanium dioxide particles is doped with a rare earth element. The doping ratio of the rare earth element is within a range more than 0 at % and not more than 5.0 at %, and the rare earth element is substituted for titanium atoms in the unit lattice of titanium dioxide so that the titanium dioxide particles emit light attributable to the rare earth element when the titanium dioxide particles are irradiated with light having the absorption wavelength of titanium dioxide and showing a peak at 360 nm.
Abstract:
DISPERSING OR MILLING APPARATUS, AND DISPERSING OR MILLING METHOD USING THE SAME A material to be treated containing solid particles in a liquid is stirred together with milling media, and irradiated with ultrasonic waves during stirring to finely mill the solid particles to nanometer size and disperse the solid particles in the liquid. The ultrasonic waves create cavitation in the liquid and upon decay of the cavitation,- shock waves are produced that cause the solid particles to vigorously collide with one another and with the milling media and these collisions, together with the shearing forces -created by collision of the milling media, can produce on a commercial scale nano particles having an average particle size of at most 100 nm.
