  • Patent number: 8479531
    Abstract: There is provided a liquid containing bag capable of supplying mixture directly to a cooling cylinder from the bag without depending on gravity and without moving the mixture into a hopper. A liquid containing bag 5 comprises a bag main body 21 containing a liquid and having flexibility, and an outer layer member 23 disposed outside the bag main body 21, capable of forming a sealed space between the outer layer member and the bag main body 21, and having flexibility. Therefore, for example, when compressed air is sealed between the outer layer member 23 and the bag main body 21, an volume of the sealed space between them is enlarged, and the liquid cooled in the bag main body 21 can be pushed to the outside.

  • Publication number: 20060005664
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a tantalum or niobium powder which controls releasing and contamination of impurities such as Fe, Ni, Cr, and Mo, which are derived from a reaction vessel, to a range in which characteristics of tantalum or niobium are not influenced. The method for producing a tantalum or niobium powder of the present invention is a method in which a metal salt containing tantalum or niobium is reduced in a diluent salt to obtain a tantalum or niobium powder, wherein a total percentage of moisture in the metal salt and the diluent salt is 0.2% by mass or less, as determined by the Karl Fisher method based on an amount of moisture generated by heating the metal salt and the diluent salt to 600° C.

  • Patent number: 4859560
    Abstract: A method of producing toner particles for use in electrophotography where the particles have a colored resin core particle containing a resin and a colorant and charge controlling layer on the particle's outer surface. The charge controlling layer contains a charge controlling agent but not any colorant. The method comprises the steps of:(1) preparting toner core particles by mixing, kneading, crushing and sorting a first material including a resin material and a colorant,(2) preparing charge controlling particles with smaller diameters than the toner core particles by mixing, kneading, crushing and sorting a second material including a charge controlling agent, and(3) thereafter mixing the toner core particles the said charge controlling particles and causing a charge controlling layers to be formed around the toner core particles by applying a pressure to the mixed particles.
