To provide a process for producing inorganic spheres having a
substantially uniform particle size with high productivity. In a process
for producing inorganic spheres, which comprises a step of injecting an
alkaline aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound into a laminar
flow of an organic liquid containing a surfactant through micropores to
form a W/O type emulsion, and a step of solidifying droplets of the
aqueous liquid containing an inorganic compound in the W/O type emulsion
by an acid to form inorganic spheres, as the organic liquid, one which is
brought into contact with an acid in a state of the W/O type emulsion or
after separated from the W/O type emulsion, or one which is brought into
contact with the aqueous liquid and then separated and recovered, is
used.
