Abstract: A battery processing method comprises: a preparation step to prepare a pulverized piece including an electrode substrate and an active material layer, the active material layer including a resin component and being provided on the electrode substrate; a heating step to heat the pulverized piece at a temperature not lower than a degradation starting temperature of the resin component and lower than a degradation peak temperature of the resin component; and a pulverization step to pulverize the pulverized piece, wherein in the heating step, the resin component is softened, and, in the pulverization step, the pulverized piece in a state where the resin component has been softened is pulverized and thereby the active material layer is peeled from the electrode substrate.

Abstract: A wheel loader includes a vehicle body frame, a transmission mechanism, a support section, a movable section, a joystick lever, and an urging mechanism. The transmission mechanism transmits a movement of the vehicle body frame. The support section is fixed with respect to the vehicle body frame. The movable section is connected to the transmission mechanism and is movably supported by the support section. The movement of the vehicle body frame is input to the movable section. The joystick lever accepts an operation to move with respect to the movable section by the operation. The urging mechanism adjusts a movement of the movable section with respect to the support section.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a regeneration method of a nickel-hydrogen battery provided with a positive electrode at least including nickel hydroxide. In the regeneration method, a regeneration process of charging a nickel-hydrogen battery is performed by supplying a square-wave pulse current set to a repetition frequency ranging from 5 kHz to 10 kHz and to an average value of current IAVE ranging from 1 A to 10 A.

Abstract: An ECU controls a PCU to perform capacity recovery control of recovering a capacity of an assembled battery. The capacity recovery control includes a discharge mode and a capacity recovery mode. In the discharge mode, the ECU discharges the assembled battery to a predetermined overdischarge region. In the capacity recovery mode, the ECU repeatedly performs, in the overdischarge region, a voltage increase of increasing a voltage across a lithium ion secondary battery due to a stop of the discharging and a pulse discharge of discharging the lithium ion secondary battery while oscillating a discharge current.

Abstract: A carbon fiber recovery method for recovering carbon fibers from a fiber reinforced plastic member having a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) layer on which a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) layer is formed is provided. This method includes: forming a cut that penetrates through the GFRP layer and reaches the CFRP layer in the fiber reinforced plastic member; causing a heated phosphorus-containing solution to penetrate from the cut and separating the CFRP layer from the GFRP layer in the vicinity of an interface between the CFRP layer and the GFRP layer; and dissolving, by a resin solution, a resin part of the CFRP layer from which the GFRP layer has been removed and then recovering the remaining carbon fibers.
