Abstract: A method for producing aluminum-containing particles includes mixing together treatment-target particles, an aluminum source, an activating agent, and a plurality of sintering inhibitors, thereby obtaining mixed particles, the treatment-target particles containing a heavy metal with a relative density of 4 or more and the activating agent containing a halide, heating the mixed particles to perform calorizing treatment on the treatment-target particles using gaps formed by the plurality of sintering inhibitors, thereby obtaining a treated mixture containing aluminum-impregnated particles, the gaps being between adjacent sintering inhibitors of the plurality of sintering inhibitors, and removing the plurality of sintering inhibitors from the treated mixture, thereby recovering the aluminum-impregnated particles.

Abstract: A cryogenic liquefied gas tank of the membrane type including an inner membranous vessel having rounded corner portions, wherein the rounded corner portions are supported by saddle elements which are shifted by thermosensitive expansion and contraction rod means in accordance with the change of temperature of the membranous vessel so as to always fit the corner portions.
