Patent number: 11427776Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a biofuel that allows an animal/vegetable fat/oil raw material containing a free fatty acid to react with a lower alcohol in the presence of a solid acid catalyst, in which the consumption of the lower alcohol is reduced and the free fatty acid and the lower alcohol are selectively esterified to reform the animal/vegetable fat/oil. In this method, as a solid acid catalyst is used a catalyst selected from an SiO2/Al2O3 solid acid catalyst, an SiO2/Al2O3 solid acid catalyst with aluminum being partially introduced into mesoporous silica, an Al2O3/B2O3 solid acid catalyst, and a sulfated zirconia solid acid catalyst, with a molar ratio of the free fatty acid and the lower alcohol of 1 to 6.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignees: FUJITUSYO CO., LTD., NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGYInventors: Eika W.

Patent number: 8225418Abstract: Incident light 19 emitted from a laser light source 18 is reflected on an upper surface of a cantilever 13, so that reflected light 19a enters light detection means 20. Since the incident light 19 and the reflected light 19a are in a plane not including a long axis of the cantilever 13, movements of the reflected light 19a due to change in a deflection amount ? of the cantilever 13 and due to change in a fine vertical movement amount z thereof are different in direction on the light detection means 20. This enables the change in the deflection amount ? of the cantilever 13 and the change in the fine vertical movement amount z thereof to be separated from output of the light detection means 20.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Kyoto UniversityInventors: Eika Tsunemi, Nobuo Satoh, Kei Kobayashi, Hirofumi Yamada, Kazumi Matsushige
