Abstract
A process for producing inorganic spheres, which comprises injecting an aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound through an inlet hole into an organic liquid which flows at a flow rate of from 0.001 to 2 m/s in a laminar flow state in a flow path to form a W/O type emulsion, and solidifying the aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound in the W/O type emulsion.

A process for producing inorganic spheres, which comprises injecting an aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound through an inlet hole into an organic liquid which flows at a flow rate of from 0.001 to 2 m/s in a laminar flow state in a flow path to form a W/O type emulsion, wherein the Reynolds number for the organic liquid which flows in the flow path is at most 2,100 and solidifying the aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound in the W/O type emulsion.
