  • Publication number: 20240100474
    Abstract: A mixed gas separation method includes a step of supplying a mixed gas to the separation membrane and causing a gas with high permeability in the mixed gas to permeate through the separation membrane. In the step, when ?P is a difference between a gas pressure on the primary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a feed pressure, and a gas pressure on the secondary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a permeate pressure, and A is a Joule-Thomson coefficient, a difference ?T between a gas temperature on the primary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a feed temperature, and a gas temperature on the secondary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a permeate temperature, is made less than 90% of A·?P by setting the Nu number in the mixed gas to be greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 10.

  • Publication number: 20200385597
    Abstract: There are provided a coating composition for applying inkjet printing thereto to form a marked preparation, the composition providing good ink affinity, suppression of ink bleed, and excellent gloss; and others. More specifically, there are provided a composition for applying inkjet printing thereto to form a marked preparation, the composition including a water-soluble cellulose ether having a viscosity at 20° C. of from 2 to 50.0 mPa·s, as determined in 2% by mass aqueous solution, polyvinyl alcohol, and a solvent, wherein a mass ratio of the water-soluble cellulose ether to the polyvinyl alcohol is from 99.0:1.0 to 55.0:45.0; a method for producing a preparation marked with aqueous ink, including a coating step of coating an object with the composition to form a coating layer, and a printing step of inkjet-printing on the coating layer with aqueous ink to obtain a preparation marked with aqueous ink; and others.
