  • Publication number: 20240156428
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an X-ray generator configured to emit X-rays; an X-ray detector having a detection surface parallel to a first direction and being movable in the first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and parallel to the detection surface; and processing circuitry configured to set a plurality of imaging ranges touching each other on the basis of reference information, to cause the X-rays to be emitted from the X-ray generator to each of the plurality of imaging ranges while sequentially moving the X-ray detector, and to generate X-ray images respectively corresponding to the plurality of imaging ranges, on the basis of a detection signal resulting from the X-ray detector detecting the X-rays.

  • Publication number: 20180308598
    Abstract: A method for processing a radioactive liquid waste containing boron of the present invention includes: a molar ratio control step of adding an alkali metal or an alkali metal compound to a radioactive liquid waste containing boron to control an alkali metal/boron molar ratio in the radioactive liquid waste to be 0.8 or more; a drying step of drying the radioactive liquid waste having the controlled molar-ratio using a dryer to form a powdered waste; a dissolving step of mixing the powdered waste with kneading water to prepare a solution; and a kneading step of adding a hydraulic inorganic solidifying material to the solution, and kneading the hydraulic inorganic solidifying material and the solution for solidification.

  • Patent number: 6448461
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for treating boron-containing waste, which prevent clogging of a waste liquid line, achieve an increase in feeding of a waste liquid to a dryer, make in-drum mixing feasible, and increase the strength of a cement solidification product. A method for treating a boron-containing waste liquid comprises the step of adding an alkali metal element compound and an alkali earth metal element compound to the boron-containing waste liquid, and the step of then drying and powdering the boron-containing waste liquid, wherein the temperature of the boron-containing waste liquid during a period from addition of either the alkali metal element compound or the alkali earth metal element compound until the drying and powdering is maintained at not lower than the precipitation temperature of a compound containing boron and an alkali metal and a compound containing boron and an alkali earth metal.

  • Patent number: 6391238
    Abstract: Raw material of algae cultivating medium molded body is manufactured by mixing a mixture containing inorganic material, curing material and algae cultivating nutriment, molding the mixture to molded bodies and curing the molded bodies. The molded bodies are manufactured such that the molded bodies are water floatable having a closed cavity inside the body, or containing density decreasing material for example. The manufacturing method enables to produce algae cultivating medium that can float on water in a large quantity. Industrial waste such as coal ashes and incineration ashes, sands and crushed shells can be used as the inorganic raw material of the medium. As the curing material which solidify the molded body, other than cement, algae cultivating nutriment such as phosphorus compounds can be used. Extrusion molding can favorably be applied for molding molded body. A cylindrically molded body can be sealed the both edges thereof to form a cavity portion inside thereof.
