Abstract: Disclosed is a way of providing a surface processing method for concrete in which vitrifying is suppressed even when high-speed processing is performed. In a surface processing method of concrete, a surface of the concrete is irradiated with a laser beam so that a beam spot is scanned along a predetermined scanning pattern and the scanning pattern moves along the surface at a predetermined feed speed. When the beam spot repeatedly passes through a predetermined portion in the scanning pattern, an overlap ratio, which is a ratio of overlapping of a passage path of the beam spot over a passage path of the beam spot in an immediately preceding irradiation, is 90% or less.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laser irradiation state diagnosing method which allows accurately diagnosing a laser irradiation state. When irradiating a laser beam so that an irradiation spot scans the surface of the irradiation object, acoustic information in vicinity of the irradiation spot is acquired. And based on characteristics of the acoustic information, such as an intensity of a component of a specific frequency band or a frequency band distribution, a state of peeling of the adhered substances existing on the surface of the irradiation object is determined.

Abstract: Water discharged from a circulating cooling water system is treated by a water recovery system including a clarification equipment and an RO membrane, and treated water is returned to the circulating cooling water system. A dispersant is added to the circulating cooling water system for dispersing scale components. The dispersant includes a polymer having a carboxyl group and having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 or less, and permeates through the clarification equipment. The polymer having a carboxyl group and having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 or less permeates through the clarification equipment, and performs as a scale dispersing agent for the RO membrane, preventing precipitation of scale. Since the polymer intrinsically has an anticorrosion effect, it becomes unnecessary to add a phosphoric acid compound to the cooling water system as an anticorrosion agent, or the required amount of the compound to be added can be reduced.
