Abstract: Disclosed is a glass-ceramic product having a chemical composition, as expressed in terms of oxides with the exception of F, in the weight range of 35 to 60% SiO.sub.2, 10 to 20% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 12 to 25% MgO, 5 to 15% K.sub.2 O and 4 to 15% F, containing no B.sub.2 O.sub.3, and containing 40 to 70% by weight of fluorophlogopite microcrystals. This glass-ceramic product has a flexural strength of not less than 1500 kgf/cm.sup.2, a heat resistance of about 1100.degree. C., excellent dielectric properties and good machinability, and is a material capable of extending the range of use of high performance ceramics.
Abstract: In a dry moving bed type adsorption tower using a granular adsorbent, for example, for removing SO.sub.x and NO.sub.x from waste gases, the granular adsorbent entering the adsorption tower is previously rinsed with a gas in a feed pipe for the adsorbent, thereby avoiding the need to install a dust collector at the outlet of the adsorption tower.
Abstract: A reactor of the moving bed type wherein a granular material is packed and held by a louver structure and moved downward and brought into contact with a gas passing through the louver, is improved so as to avoid both accumulation of dust on the louver part at the gas inlet side and excessive rising of the pressure loss.
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of removing sulfur and nitrogen oxides by a dry process comprising passing a waste gas through a bed of a carbonaceous adsorbent to remove sulfur oxides and adding ammonia to remove nitrogen oxides, characterized in that at least two carbonaceous adsorbent beds are used and the carbonaceous adsorbent used mainly for removal of sulfur oxides is further used for treatment of the waste gas leaving the final carbonaceous adsorbent bed to remove the ammonia.
Abstract: Process for manufacturing an isotropic carbonaceous material having a high density and a high crushing strength which comprises the steps of (a) extracting a reformed coal from at least one component selected from the group consisting of brown coal, lignite and grass peat in the presence of hydrogen gas; (b) heating the reformed coal to produce a green coke; and (c) coking the green coke.
