  • Patent number: 10294122
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a seawater desalination device, including a steam re-compressor configured to pressurize steam by pressurizing a steam; a first heat exchanger configured to exchange an amount of sensible heat of seawater to be desalinated with an amount of liquid sensible heat after pressurized steam is condensed, and an amount of sensible heat of a concentrated liquid after seawater is concentrated; a second heat exchanger configured to exchange an amount of heat of pressurized steam, an amount of latent heat of vaporization of seawater, and an amount of sensible heat when seawater is evaporated, and configured to concentrate seawater; a seawater supply means; a steam supply means; a first discharge means; a second discharge means; and a water-droplet separation means.

  • Patent number: 9090714
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing hydroxyalkylcellulose microparticles, the method including generating a pulse shock wave, and supplying a hydroxyalkylcellulose aqueous solution to the pulse shock wave generation region, thereby crushing and drying the hydroxyalkylcellulose aqueous solution. According to the production method, hydroxyalkylcellulose microparticles having a volume-average particle size of at least 0.1 ?m but less than 15 ?m are obtained. By mixing the hydroxyalkylcellulose microparticles with a principal agent and subjecting the resulting mixture to a tablet compression, a solid preparation having excellent tensile strength and disintegration properties can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6042636
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of cooling incinerator exhaust gas for a cleaning treatment of high temperature exhaust gas discharged from an incinerator of refuse and/or waste in a post-step are provided. A spray cooling chamber includes a chamber having a lower end portion formed into a nearly cylindrical shape of an inverted conical shape, a gas distribution chamber equipped with a revolving blade, arranged at an upstream side of the chamber, a sprayer of a cooling liquid arranged at central upper portion of the chamber, a dust exhaust port arranged at the lower end portion of the chamber, and an exhaust pipe arranged on the chamber. Waste heat recovery from exhaust gas is limited to a temperature range capable of suppressing generation of dioxins, and high temperature exhaust gas is rapidly cooled, particularly at a temperature drop rate such that the vicinity of 300.degree. C. is dropped in a short time within 1 second, so that exhaust concentration of dioxins from an incinerator plant can be decreased to 0.
