A dispersing system comprises a dispersing apparatus, a storage tank for storing a dispersing medium and a liquid containing a material to be treated, and conduits for connecting the dispersing apparatus in fluid communication with the storage tank. The dispersing apparatus comprises a dispersing chamber, at least one rotationally driven disc, a suction inlet through which the liquid containing the material to be treated and the dispersing medium are drawn from the storage tank into the dispersing chamber by the suction created by rotation of the disc, a discharge outlet, and a medium-separating device for separating the dispersing medium from the liquid containing the dispersed material and selectively discharging the liquid containing the dispersed material but not the dispersing medium from the discharge outlet. During a dispersing treatment, the liquid containing the material to be treated and the discharge medium are drawn by suction from the storage tank into the dispersing chamber through one of the conduits by the rotation of the disc. The dispersing medium is then circulated within the dispersing chamber by the rotation of the disc to disperse the material to be treated in the liquid. Thereafter, the liquid containing the dispersed material but not the dispersing medium is discharged from the discharge outlet while the dispersing medium is separated from the liquid containing the dispersed material. During cleaning of the storage tank, the dispersing chamber and the conduits, the dispersing medium is permitted to flow out of the dispersing chamber together with the cleaning fluid.

The powders such as pigments are treated with the low temperature plasma so that their chemical property is improved. In low temperature plasma treatment, if a plurality of powders coagulate into one lump, or if powders cohere on the vessel's inside wall surface, it is difficult to make uniform and efficient treatment. The present invention provides a powder treating method and apparatus used therefor which make uniform and efficient treatment of powders with low temperature plasma. The first invention is a powder treating method where the powders are treated with low temperature plasma while stirring them by vibration. The second invention is a powder treating apparatus equipped with a treating chamber for housing powders, a device for vibrating this treating chamber and a plasma producing device, in which the powders in the treating chamber are treated with low temperature plasma while stirring them by vibration. While the treating chamber is formed by upper and lower two vessels with their opening mated to one another. An insulator is provided at a junction between these two vessels so as to electrically insulate the upper and lower two vessels, so that these two vessels may be utilized as mutually facing exciting electrode and grounding electrode. The third invention is a powder treating method where the powders are treated with low temperature plasma while being stirred by a precessional movement of a spiral screw which is being rotated.
