  • Publication number: 20210339198
    Abstract: In an acidic treatment liquid processing apparatus, a space between a first electrode and a second electrode spaced from each other is separated by a first diaphragm permeable and a second diaphragm into a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. While the first chamber is fed with an acidic treatment liquid containing a dichromate ion and a metal cation, the second chamber is fed with a first acid aqueous solution, and the third chamber is fed with a second acid aqueous solution, a voltage is applied using the first electrode as an anode and the second electrode as a cathode.

  • Publication number: 20120042784
    Abstract: In an aeration apparatus according to the present invention, water-repellent treatment is applied at least to one of an opening and vicinity thereof of a slit 12 formed in a diffuser membrane of an aeration nozzle, thereby providing a water-repellent layer 150, so that the inflow of seawater into the slit 12 is prevented and precipitation of calcium sulfate or the like in the slit is suppressed and avoided. As a material for forming the water-repellent layer 150, for example, a talc coating layer using talc, a fluorine coating layer coated with a fluorine resin, silicone coating layer coated with a silicone resin, and a wax coating layer coated with wax can be mentioned.

  • Publication number: 20120043283
    Abstract: A first slit 12A formed in a diffuser membrane of aeration diffusers of an aeration apparatus according to the present invention includes a linear reference slit 12a and a branched slit 12b crossing the linear reference slit 12a at a center thereof, and an opening shape of the first slit 12A is deformed due to pressure of air (an amount of air) to be supplied. Therefore, because an opening amount at a crossing 12c of the linear reference slit 12a and the branched slits 12b increases by temporarily increasing the amount of air, elimination of precipitates is facilitated, differently from conventional cases having only linear slits.
