Abstract:
A method for modifying a fine particle dispersion liquid with which dispersibility and dispersion stability can be improved includes performing filtration to remove impurities in a dispersion liquid using a dispersion liquid modifying device provided with a removal unit that uses a filtration membrane. The quantity of impurities is reduced from a first region until said quantity reaches a second pH-dependent region. In the second pH-dependent region, the dispersibility of the fine particles in the dispersion liquid is in a range in which the dispersibility depends more on a change in dispersion liquid pH than on a change in the quantity of impurities in the dispersion liquid. With the quantity of impurities reduced to the second pH-dependent region, the dispersibility of the fine particles is controlled by adjusting the pH of the fine particle dispersion liquid.

Claim (Index 11):
The method for reforming the fine particle dispersion solution according to  claim 3 , wherein\n amount of the impurities are reduced by repeating a discharge process and a removal process, the discharge process is a process in which a physical energy is applied to aggregates of the fine particles included in the fine particle dispersion solution so that a dispersing process is carried out to disperse the aggregates as particles smaller than the aggregates thereby discharging the impurities included in the aggregates into the dispersion solution, and the removal process is a process in which the dispersion solution after the discharge process are removed by the filtration membrane before re-aggregation takes place entirely by the impurities in the solution.
