Abstract: Provided is a mobile toilet that can be used well. A mobile toilet includes a trailer, a toilet bowl disposed in a cargo box of the trailer, a drain tank disposed in the cargo box and storing sewage discharged from the toilet bowl, a drain passage communicating between the toilet bowl and the drain tank, and a second conveyance device provided in the middle of the drain passage. The toilet bowl has a drain trap communicating with an upstream end of the drain passage, and the drain passage passes a position higher than a sealing water level of the drain trap, and has a spout space provided in a position higher than the sealing water level of the drain trap.

Abstract: Devices facilitating recovery of polymers are disclosed. A crushing device (25) includes a housing (13) into which a paper diaper (D) containing polymers (P) in a water-absorbed state is thrown, and a crushing member (28) that is accommodated in the housing (13) and crushes the paper diaper (D). A moving speed of the crushing member (28) is 0.1 m/s or less.

Abstract: A thermally insulating foam glass tile includes a tile-like body consisting essentially of a vitrifiable mineral and having a substantially closed cell structure, and a rigid reinforcing vitrified surface skin permeated into at least the top surface of the tile-like body. An intermediate vitrified layer having a lesser volume of closed cells may be integrally melt-bonded between the tile-like body and the surface skin.

Abstract: A method for producing a foam glass tile having a surface skin comprises the steps of molding a material consisting essentially of a vitrifiable mineral and a foaming agent into a tile-like block; coating the block with a thin layer comprising a vitrifying agent for the mineral material; heating the coated block to a temperature sufficient to fuse the coated layer whereby the molten vitrifying agent permeates into the coated surface of the block; and further heating the coated block to a temperature sufficient to soften the vitrifiable mineral. The method may further include the step of forming a thin layer comprising a vitrifiable mineral and a lesser amount of a foaming agent between the tile-like block and the vitrifying agent layer, followed by firing. The foam glass tile formed by the above method comprises a foam glass tile body and a rigid reinforcing vitrified surface skin, the surface skin being integrally melt-bonded onto at least a top surface of the foam glass body.
