Abstract: The present invention provides a recovery method in which the indium sponge that is deposited by substitution in the substitution deposition step in the recovery of indium from an indium-containing material is produced in the form of a powder rather than in a bulky form. This recovery method is a method in which an indium sponge is deposited by substitution by adding a substance containing chlorine, and further adding a reducing agent, to an indium-containing solution whose pH has been adjusted to a value in the range of 1 to 2.2.

Abstract: A slot array antenna is composed of a rectangular waveguide formed by means of oppositely disposed plates and side plates, and a power feeder means connected to the rectangular waveguide at a power feed opening. A plurality of wave radiation slots are formed within one of the plates. The power feeder means is arranged such that two powers fed therein are changed into two plane waves, at the power feed opening, having two independent dominant modes. The slots comprise longitudinal slots extending in a longitudinal direction of the waveguide and lateral slots extending in a lateral direction of the waveguide so as to radiate two plates waves respectively.
