A method for concentrating a particular component in powder by performing a mechanical dry processing on powder formed by granulating a solution containing two or more components, producing chips in a fine-powder form by chipping away at particle surfaces of the powder where a larger amount of the particular component is contained than particle interior portions of the powder, classifying the powder into fine powder containing the chips and coarse powder containing particles whose surfaces have been chipped away, and collecting the fine powder containing the particular component.
