The above points are the same for the plasma supply means 50 (see FIG. 2) and the direct plasma (see FIG. 3), which will be described later.
- the chamber 12 is cylindrical and has a reduced diameter portion at the lower portion that is reduced in diameter downward.
- a gas introduction pipe 34 for introducing a fluidized gas for forming a fluidized bed of particles g is provided.
- a tubular body 20 is provided in the gas introduction pipe 34, and a spray device 18 is arranged in the tubular body 20.

- the coating liquid and the particles g are in the gas flow of the fluidized gas in the region where the flow velocity is the fastest. It gets on and is sprayed upward. Therefore, both the coating liquid and the particles g are rapidly diffused in the fluid gas and are preferably mixed.
- the coating liquid can be uniformly applied to each particle g without causing a positional deviation in the flowing gas.
- the application of the coating liquid to the particles g first rises from the lower center of the chamber 12, spreads outward, descends and returns to the lower center of the chamber 12, in the flow of particles shown by the broken line in FIG.

That is, due to the synergistic effect of the flow rate of the flowing gas at the coating position and the length of the flow length until recoating after coating, the particles g are dried at the time when the coating liquid is applied. is doing.
- the fluidized bed coating device 10 of the illustrated example has a tubular body 20 in the gas introduction pipe 34, and the spray device 18 is arranged in the tubular body 20 as a preferred embodiment. Therefore, the spraying of the coating liquid by the spraying device 18 is not affected by the flowing gas. Further, since the spray of the coating liquid by the spray device 18 is not affected by the flowing gas, it is not necessary to increase the force of the spray, and the droplets can be made fine. As a result, the amount of the coating liquid applied to the particles g can be reduced to a small amount, and the coating liquid can be gradually applied to the particles g that are circulated by forming the fluidized bed. As a result, even fine particles g can be suitably coated with the coating liquid and uniformly and appropriately coated with the coating liquid.
- the flowing gas is introduced upward from the lower center of the chamber 12 and is exhausted to the outside of the chamber 12 from the exhaust pipe 14a of the lid 14 that closes the upper surface of the chamber 12. Therefore, the flow path of the flowing gas in the chamber 12 is basically one direction from the lower side to the upper side of the chamber 12. That is, in the fluidized bed of the particles g in the chamber 12, the descent of the particles g is a drop due to its own weight, which is hardly affected by the fluidized gas, that is, the air flow.

- surface modification by plasma treatment of the particles is effective.
- high frequency thermal plasma treatment is known. This plasma treatment can be performed at 3000 to 15000 ° C., but it is necessary to use an inert gas as the plasma gas. It is also possible to integrate the fluidized bed and the high-frequency thermal plasma processing means and fill the entire processing container with an inert gas. However, a large-scale gas supply device is required, and the running cost is very high, which is not realistic. Further, the particles g are not necessarily resistant to heat. In consideration of the above points, in the plasma treatment of the particles g in the fluidized bed, it is preferable to use an atmospheric pressure plasma capable of treating at a low temperature.
- the plasma treatment of the particles g forming the fluidized bed and the coating of the coating liquid on the particles g are performed in the same system. That is, even if the particles g can be uniformly treated by the atmospheric pressure plasma, instability such as surface deactivation occurs when the treatment system moves sequentially. Particle g, particularly fine particle g, has a large surface area and accelerates surface deactivation. Therefore, in the treatment of the particles g, the fact that the coating of the coating liquid and the plasma treatment are in the same system greatly leads to the application of the coating liquid to the particles g and the stability of the coating.
- the fluidized bed coating device 10 having the plasma supply means 24 for supplying the plasma P by the atmospheric pressure remote plasma in the chamber 12, the atmospheric pressure plasma is used and the coating liquid to the particles g in the chamber 12 is used. And plasma treatment of the particles g can be performed.

Further, when the particles g, particularly the fine particles g, are subjected to plasma treatment, it is preferable to perform the treatment in a state where the plasma is not easily affected by the air flow or the like. When the plasma is affected by the air flow, the concentration of the plasma decreases and sufficient processing cannot be performed. It is also possible to reduce the influence of airflow by increasing the intensity of plasma and generating high-density plasma. However, considering damage to the particles g, it is not preferable that the plasma is too strong, especially for fine particles g.
- plasma P is supplied to a position where the particles g forming the fluidized bed fall to perform plasma treatment.
- the fluidized gas forming the fluidized bed basically passes through the chamber 12 from the lower side to the upper side. Therefore, the particles g falling in the chamber 12 fall by their own weight without being affected by the flowing gas.

- the supply position of the plasma P into the chamber 12, that is, the mounting position of the plasma supply pipe 24b is not limited to the wall surface of the reduced diameter portion of the chamber 12. That is, the mounting position of the plasma supply pipe 24b may be a wall surface corresponding to the position where the particles g fall.

- the mounting position of the plasma supply pipe 24b is not preferable in the vicinity of the bottom and the bottom where the flow of the particles g becomes extremely small or the air flow starts to wind up.
- the particles g treated by the plasma P descend along the wall surface of the chamber 12, return to the lower center in the chamber 12 again, and are repeatedly blown up.
- the coating liquid is gradually applied to the particles g, that is, the particles g are gradually coated with the coating liquid and coated.

- the inner pipe 52 and the outer pipe 54 are both circular pipes, and the inner pipe 52 is inserted into the outer pipe 54 so as to coincide with the center line.
- the gap 62 between the inner tube 52 and the outer tube 54 is a supply path for the plasma gas PG and a flow path for the generated plasma P.
- the outer tube 54 forming the flow path of the plasma P is attached to the reduced diameter portion of the chamber 12 or the like, similarly to the plasma supply tube 24b described above.
- Both the first electrode 56 and the second electrode 58 are cylindrical electrodes having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the outer tube 54, and are arranged by inserting the outer tube 54.

That is, according to the plasma supply means 50, various treated gas MGs treated with plasma can be supplied into the chamber 12 by using the inner pipe 52 as needed. Therefore, according to the plasma supply means 50, in addition to the treatment of the particles g by the supplied plasma P, it is also possible to treat the particles g by the plasma-treated processing gas MG, if necessary.
- a method of introducing TEOS (tetramethoxysilane) or the like as the treatment gas MG is exemplified.
