[0087] 2-Methoxy-4-nitroaniline was diazotized in a manner known per se in the art by using a 2.5-fold molar amount of hydrochloric acid and an equimolar amount of sodium nitrite to prepare a 0.125 mole/L diazo solution (8 L, solution temperature: 10.degree. C.). On the side, acetoacet-o-anisidide (209.3 parts) was dissolved in an aqueous solution which contained sodium hydroxide (50 parts), followed by the addition of an aqueous solution of acetic acid to have a grounder component deposited so that a 0.0253 mole/L grounding solution of pH 4.2 (40 L, solution temperature: 20.degree. C.) was prepared.[0088] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the grounding solution was next caused to flow as a first fluid I at a flow rate of 5 L/min by the feed pump d from the first feed tank 2 into the ejector 1 through the first flow path a. Owing to depressurization occurred in the ejector 1, the diazo solution was drawn as a second fluid II at a flow rate of 1 L/min (adjusted by the first flow control means e) from the second feed tank 3 through the second flow path b into the ejector 1 maintained at 20.degree. C. by the temperature control means g, and through a coupling reaction, a monoazo pigment [C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 (PY74)] was yielded.[0089] The yield of the monoazo pigment was very good owing to the effects of a severe turbulence occurred concurrently with the coupling reaction in the ejector. The degree of an excess of the grounder component relative to the diazo component was as much as about 1 mole %. Nonetheless, the coupling reaction proceeded smoothly, and the coupling reaction time was about 8 min. The thus-obtained aqueous suspension of the resulting pigment was discharged from the ejector 1 through the third flow path a', and was stored in the treatment tank 5. After the thus-stored aqueous suspension of the pigment was heated to 90.degree. C., the pigment was collected by filtration, washed with water and then dried to obtain the monoazo pigment (PY74) in a dry form.
