Abstract

From a composition of a fine powder and water, a fine powder minimally susceptible of agglomeration is obtained by a method which comprises adding to the composition of a fine powder and water a water-insoluble organic solvent at least in an amount enough for consequently forming an azeotropic composition with respect to the amount of the water involved, converting the resulting mixed liquid into a W/O type emulsion, and removing the water and the organic solvent from the emulsion.
