Publication number: 20170342515Abstract: The present invention does not require a demanganese agent such as a sulfide or a combustible gas in the removal of manganese of cast iron. The method for removing manganese of cast iron according to the present invention is implemented by performing the removal of a manganese component by allowing a furnace to be in an oxygen atmosphere, and by blowing air into a molten cast iron in the furnace, while a carbon component in the molten cast iron is being maintained at an approximately constant amount. Alternatively, the method for removing manganese of cast iron according to the present invention is implemented by performing the removal of the manganese component by allowing the furnace to be in an oxygen atmosphere and by stirring the molten cast iron in the furnace, while the carbon component in the molten cast iron is being maintained at an approximately constant amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2015Publication date: November 30, 2017Applicants: KINOSHITA MANUFACTORY CO.,LTD., NANIWA ROKI CO.,LTD.Inventors: Kiyoshi KINOSHITA, Hirotoshi MURATA

Patent number: 8747495Abstract: A solidified biomass consisting of semi-carbonized or pre-semi-carbonized solid matter is pressure-formed from raw biomass material while being heated under a substantially sealed-up condition to allow hemicellulose among the main components of the raw biomass material, i.e. lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, to be thermally decomposed and to allow a low-temperature reaction to occur between the cellulose and lignin while maintaining their skeletons. The pre-semi-carbonized solid matter or semi-carbonized solid matter has a maximum compressive strength of 60-200 MPa and calorific value of 18-23 MJ/kg.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignees: Kinki University, Naniwa Roki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tamio Ida, Akio Nakanishi
