Patent number: 7153484Abstract: A producing method of a porous Si3N4 having high porosity and formed of Si3N4 particles having a high aspect ratio includes the following steps. A compound of a rare earth element as a first sintering agent is mixed in an amount of 7.5–45 parts by mass, in terms of an oxide of the element, with respect to 100 parts by mass of Si powder to obtain mixed powder. A binder is added to the mixed powder, which is then molded into a molded body. The molded body is heated in a nitrogen atmosphere to 300–500° C. to remove the binder. The binder-removed body is heated in a nitrogen atmosphere to 1350–1500° C. for nitriding. The nitrided body is then sintered at 1750–1900° C. at a nitrogen pressure of 0.1–1 atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2004Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Satoh, Jin-joo Park

Patent number: 6361693Abstract: A filter includes a plurality of filter units formed of a porous ceramic medium arranged and housed in a casing, and having therethrough a circulatory line for passing a feed fluid and a discharging route for passing a permeated fluid. The circulatory line and the discharging route are separated from each other by partially sealing those portions of the filter units which are fixed to opposite ends of the casing. The filter unit is structured to basically have a large number of open channels communicating with the circulatory line and passing the feed fluid and closed channels passing the permeated fluid, and a large number of discharge holes penetrating a solid portion of the porous ceramic medium to discharge the permeated fluid. As seen in any cross section of the filter orthogonal to one direction thereof, the plurality of filter units occupy an area corresponding to at least 35% of an internal area of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Jin-Joo Park

Patent number: 6214227Abstract: A ceramic filter module includes a plurality of passage holes (11) and internal passage holes (12) alternately arranged about a plurality of ceramic partitions (15). The internal passage holes are sealed at each end by seals (13). The partitions are at most 1 mm thick and allow fluid to be filtered as the fluid flows from passage holes (11) to the internal passage holes (12). A plurality of discharge holes (14) traversing through the ceramic partitions between adjacent internal passage holes or between an internal passage hole and an outer surface allow the permeate to exit. The module is a porous ceramic body that preferably has an average pore diameter of 1 &mgr;m and is composed of silicon nitride. The ceramic filter module has the advantages of low permeation resistance and very high permeability.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Jin-Joo Park, Chihiro Kawai
