  • Patent number: 6187468
    Abstract: This invention provides an electrode for a fuel cell comprising a catalyst layer obtained by a first step of homogeneously mixing carbon supporting platinum which is an electrode catalyst, an alcohol solution of an ion conductive component which is a solid polymer electrolytic membrane component, and an organic solvent, by means of a stirrer having a grinding effect to produce electrode paste in which the carbon is highly dispersed; a second step of stirring said electrode paste by means of a three-dimensional vibrating stirrer in order to obtain highly structured carbon on which platinum is supported; and a third step of coating a gas diffusion electrode material and/or a solid polymer electrolytic membrane with the electrode paste in which the carbon is highly structured, followed by removal of the organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 5316621
    Abstract: A method of obtaining an excellent recycled pulp from waste pressure-sensitive adhesive paper which has previously been discarded. This method being characterized in that the waste paper is defiberized, then a defiberized suspension thereof is diluted, the diluted suspension is coarse screened by a screen having a slit width of below 0.5 mm, the pulp suspension after coarse screening is dewatered so as to have a solid matter consistency of 15 to 40% by weight, the dewatered stuff is mechanically agitated, the difference between the temperature of the stuff before the agitation and the temperature thereof after the agitation being below 12.degree. C., the obtained stuff is being diluted again, the diluted suspension is fine screened by a screen having a slit width of below 0.
