Patent number: 7176175Abstract: A cleansing processing agent that is able to remove harmful substances contained in a variety of waste materials and a cleansing method are disclosed. Specifically, there is disclosed a cleansing processing agent containing a polymer having at least one of styrene or conjugate diene and acrylonitrile as constituent unit and into which are introduced ionic groups. This cleansing processing agent is contacted with a material for processing containing harmful substances contained in the material for processing for removing the harmful substances. The waste plastics can be used effectively, while a modified product obtained on chemical modification of the plastics is useful for suppressing environmental destruction caused by leakage of the harmful substances contained in the waste materials.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yasuhito Inagaki, Yasutoshi Kawate, Kimiko Ishikawa, Hiroyuki Nagasawa

Patent number: 7160847Abstract: A method for chemical etching is disclosed for taking away oxidized film and removing cut as well as punched edge burs of harden-treated carbon steel (SK3, SK4 and SK5). Thereby, the fillet edge of the cut section is achieved. An oxidized film with a thickness of several micrometers is formed when a cut and punched steel is quenched and tempered at high temperature. Due to high strength and hardness of the steel, the oxidized film and edge burs are difficult to be removed by mechanical grinding. Therefore, a suitable electrolyte composes of only a little chemical reagent and oxidizer in deionized water is used to remove the oxidized film and punched bur simultaneously using chemical etching method.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Chang Gung UniversityInventors: Ching-An Huang, Chun-Ching Hsu

Patent number: 7160849Abstract: A detergent composition containing at least 0.1% by weight of at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of 1) a polycarboxylic acid-based polymer containing a polyalkylene glycol chain in the structure thereof, 2) a sulfonic acid group-terminated (meth)acrylic acid-based polymer, and 3) an acrylic acid (salt)-maleic acid (salt)-based copolymer having a clay dispersibility under a condition of 50 ppm of calcium carbonate of 0.3 or more; and at least 0.5% by weight of a longer alkyl chain mid-chain branched surfactant compound. The detergent composition can enhance anti-gelling properties to calcium ions, improve the dispersibility to solid particles at low temperatures or under high-hardness conditions, and improve detergency against stains such as mud and carbon black.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Tsumori, Takuya Saeki, Yoshikazu Fujii, Shigeru Yamaguchi
