Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire, which causes no blister to take place during vulcanization molding even in a case where a cylindrical thermoplastic resin film is used as an air-permeation preventing layer while a rubber sheet material laminated onto the thermoplastic resin film has a thickness of 0.5 mm or more. The method includes the steps of: winding an unvulcanized rubber sheet material with a thickness of 0.5 mm or more around a cylindrical thermoplastic resin film which is placed around a making drum; and splicing one end portion and the other end portion of the rubber sheet material together so that the spliced part is step-shape. The method is characterized in that one end portion of the rubber sheet material is spliced onto the other end portion thereof with an auxiliary rubber sheet interposed between a step part of the spliced part of the rubber sheet material and the thermoplastic resin film, the auxiliary rubber sheet being thinner than the thermoplastic resin film.

Abstract: In order to remove fluorine from a zinc containing solution before zinc electro-refining in lower cost, fluorine is removed by adsorption from a zinc containing solution (leached solution) utilizing the character of the predetermined iron compound or zinc compound which can adsorb fluorine in an acid solution and desorb fluorine in an alkaline solution. The fluorine adsorbent/desorbent having adsorbed fluorine is treated in an alkaline solution, to desorb the fluorine. This makes it possible to regenerate the fluorine adsorbent/desorbent. Further, an electrolytic solution for zinc electro-refining can be prepared in lower cost, thus total zinc refining costs can be reduced.
