  • Patent number: 8574506
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for processing an exhaust gas, which enable to suppress decrease of pH and increase of ORP of a mixture of an aqueous solution of a reducing agent and an aqueous alkali solution circulated within a wet reactor comprising a reduction reaction region and an oxidation reaction region. The method and apparatus enable to prevent deterioration of the mixed aqueous solution, and can be continuously operated for a long time. Specifically, the ORP and pH of the mixed aqueous solution of the aqueous solution of a reducing agent and the aqueous alkali solution to be circulated within the wet reactor are measured, and a fresh aqueous solution of a reducing agent and a fresh aqueous alkali solution are supplied, if necessary, into a reservoir unit arranged in the lower part of the wet reactor so that the ORP and pH of the mixed aqueous solution are kept within predetermined ranges.

  • Publication number: 20080138905
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method of significantly promoting the ratio of homologous recombination in desirable cells. In order to enhance the ratio of homologous recombination in desirable cells such as eukaryotic cells, mutation is introduced into genes encoding factors necessary for non-homologous recombination, such as KU70 or KU80, or the above genes are disrupted, so as to cause the loss of the functions thereof. At the time, foreign DNA is introduced into the cells via the electroshock method or the like, so as to carry out homologous recombination, thereby promoting the frequency of homologous recombination in the cells.
