  • Patent number: 10280094
    Abstract: A method for treating a urea aqueous solution includes a first stripping step of steam stripping an aqueous solution containing urea, ammonia and carbon dioxide at 0.2 to 0.6 MPaA in a first stripper to separate ammonia and carbon dioxide from this aqueous solution into a gas phase; a hydrolysis step of hydrolyzing urea in the solution obtained from the first stripping step at an LHSV of 10 to 20 h?1, at 1.1 to 3.1 MPaA and 180 to 230° C. in a catalytic hydrolyzer; and a second stripping step of steam stripping a liquid obtained in the hydrolysis step in a second stripper to separate ammonia and carbon dioxide from this liquid into a gas phase. The residual urea concentration can be reduced to 1 ppm or lower; the residual ammonia concentration can be decreased; LHSV can be increased; and an increase in apparatus size is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20030105545
    Abstract: A host computer matches indexes of work data stored in an electro-fusion apparatus against indexes of work data transferred to the host computer. Based on results of the matching, the host computer requests the electro-fusion apparatus for transmission of yet untransferred work data.

  • Patent number: 5085379
    Abstract: A method of controlling reel drive so that a magnetic tape is transported from one reel of first and second reels to the other between them at predetermined transport velocity including the steps of forming a control signal obtained by operationally determining predetermined expressions having functions of the rotational numbers of the two reels, indicating a variation in the turn numbers of the magnetic tape on the reels and of the winding radii of the reels and controlling at least one of the reels based on a comparison of the control signal with informations of rotational angular velocity of the one reel actually detected.
