Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electrode lead for an electrochemical device, including a nickel plating layer disposed on the surface of a metallic terminal, having a surface irregularity structure on the nickel plating layer, and including a polar group-containing coating layer. The present disclosure also relates to an electrochemical device including the electrode lead. The electrode lead for an electrochemical device provides increased binding force between the electrode lead and the lead film by increasing the contact area between the electrode lead and the lead film, while not causing damages upon the surface of the electrode lead.

Abstract: A secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly, a can, and an insulator. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode, a separator, and a second electrode alternately stacked and wound. The can has an accommodation part accommodating the electrode assembly therein, and the can comprises a first can and a second can having cylindrical shapes open in a direction facing each other. The insulator insulates an overlapping portion between the first can and the second can. The first can is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second can is electrically connected to the second electrode. The insulator has a short-circuit induction through-part defined by a through-hole or a cutoff line, such that a short circuit occurs between the first can and the second can through the short-circuit induction through-part when it is deformed in shape as heat or a pressure is applied to contract or expand the insulator.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing biodiesel, including the steps of: removing foreign materials from biodiesel raw oil containing lower fatty acid and having an acid value of 20 mgKOH/g or less with an adsorbent; dewatering the foreign materials removed biodiesel raw oil; passing the dewatered biodiesel raw oil through a solid acid catalyst reaction guard bed provided with a cation exchange resin for removing metal cations at 20˜80° C. at a flow rate of 6 vol % (6 SV) or less, mixing methanol with the passed biodiesel raw oil, and then passing the mixture through a solid acid catalyst reaction main bed provided with a solid acid catalyst for an esterification reaction at 70˜120° C. at a flow rate of 0.5˜1.5 SV to adjust a final acid value of the biodiesel raw oil to 5 mgKOH/g or less; and reacting the biodiesel raw oil having the final acid value of 5 mgKOH/g or less in the presence of an alkali catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing biofuel, more specifically a method of producing biofuel comprising the steps of generating monosugars from marine algae, or from polysaccharides extracted from marine algae by treating the marine algae or the polysaccharides with a hydrolytic enzyme and/or a hydrolytic catalyst; and fermenting the monosugars using a microorganism to produce biofuel. The method of producing biofuel of the present invention solve the problem of raw material suppliance since it uses marine algae as a raw material for biomass, and reduce the production costs by excluding lignin eliminating process that has been required by the conventional method using wood-based raw materials, resulting in economic and environmental advantages.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of producing a filter medium for treating medium and high temperature exhaust gas using foam coating and a filter medium produced using the method. The filter medium has excellent heat resistance and heat contraction resistance, and exhibits partial dust collection efficiency of 99% or more by weight, total dust collection efficiency of 99.999% or more by weight, and high dust removal efficiency, for all dust particle sizes. Further, the filter media can be efficiently used to treat medium and high temperature exhaust gas because pores having an average pore size of 30 ?m or less are uniformly distributed on the surface of the filter media.
