Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a positive electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery comprising a secondary particle having an average particle size (D50) of 1 to 15 ?m, formed by agglomeration of at least two primary macro particles having an average particle size (D50) of 0.1 to 3 ?m; and a coating layer of a lithium-metal oxide on a surface of the secondary particle, wherein the primary macro particles are represented by LiaNi1-x-yCoxM1yM2wO2 (1.0?a?1.5, 0?x?0.2, 0?y?0.2, 0?w?0.1, 0?x+y?0.2, M1 includes at least one metal of Mn or Al, and M2 includes at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ba, Ca, Zr, Ti, Mg, Ta, Nb and Mo), and wherein the lithium-metal oxide is a low-temperature phase LixCoO2(0<x?1) having at least one of a spinel structure (Fd-3m) or a disordered rock-salt structure (Fm-3m).

Abstract: A plasma reactor for inductively coupled plasma includes: a ferrite core assembly including a ferrite core stacked body including a plurality of ferrite cores stacked and a first passage portion and a second passage portion arranged in parallel, and a ferrite core accommodating structure; a first chamber body including a first base portion configured to provide a first internal space therein, a first A-extension pipe extending from the first base portion, communicating with the first internal space and accommodated in the first passage portion, and a second A-extension pipe extending from the first base portion; and a second chamber body including a second base portion configured to provide a second internal space therein, a first B-extension pipe extending from the second base portion, and a second B-extension pipe extending from the second base portion.

Abstract: Featured is a refrigerant injection device which is particularly suitable for use in a refrigerant destruction facility using an incinerator. Such an injection device includes a storage device which stores the refrigerant and a decompressor fluidly coupled to the storage device. The injection device further includes two flow meters and a cutoff-valve that are fluidly coupled to the decompressor. The cutoff valve is configured to cut off the injection of refrigerant. The injection device further includes bypass flow members that are fluidly coupled to the two flow meters. The bypass flow members and flow meters are configured and arranged to selectively measure the flow rate and to perform flow meter calibration without stopping the feeding of refrigerant to the injection device.

Abstract: An apparatus continuously treats the surface of waste rubber powder by means of microwave thereby making it possible to treat the surface of waste rubber powder continuously and more efficiently. As a result, recycled rubber material has superior surface roughness and processability and the physical or chemical properties of the rubber articles are improved.
