  • Patent number: 8012241
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for condensing ozone arranged so as to efficiently take out the ozone gas of a predetermined concentration, although its construction is simple. The method for condensing the ozone gas comprises acting ozone-oxygen mixture gas on an adsorbing cylinder which is filled in its interior area with an adsorbent so as to selectively adsorb the ozone gas to an adsorbent and desorbing the selectively adsorbed ozone gas so as to condense and purify the ozone gas. The method further includes acting the ozone-oxygen mixture gas on the adsorbent in non-cooled state to selectively adsorb the ozone gas to the adsorbent and vacuuming the adsorbing cylinder on performing desorption-operation of the ozone gas to desorb the ozone gas from the adsorbent.

  • Publication number: 20110147896
    Abstract: A method for processing a sample using an electrically neutral reactive cluster is provided. The surface of a sample is processed by jetting out a mixed gas that is composed of a reactive gas and a gas with a boiling point lower than that of the reactive gas from a gas jetting part of a vacuum process room in which the sample is placed by a pressure in a range in which the mixed gas is not liquefied, in a predetermined direction, while adiabatically-expanding the mixed gas, thereby generating a reactive cluster and jetting the reactive cluster against the sample in the vacuum process room.

  • Publication number: 20110123430
    Abstract: A method of concentrating ozone gas in which, although the apparatus configuration is simple, ozone gas of a predetermined concentration can be efficiently taken out, and an apparatus therefor are provided. In a method of concentrating ozone gas in which an ozone-oxygen mixture gas is acted in an adsorbing column that is filled with an adsorbent, to cause the adsorbent to selectively adsorb the ozone gas, and the selectively adsorbed ozone gas is desorbed, thereby concentrating and purifying the ozone gas, the ozone-oxygen mixture gas is acted on the adsorbent in a non-cooled state to cause the ozone gas to be selectively adsorbed to the adsorbent, the adsorbing column is vacuumed when performing an operation desorbing of the ozone gas, thereby desorbing the ozone gas from the adsorbent, and an initial amount of the leading out of the desorbed ozone gas is not recovered, thereby obtaining high-concentration ozone gas.

  • Publication number: 20100247736
    Abstract: A method of the present invention for producing a calcium phosphate complex including a substrate and calcium phosphate bonded to a surface of the substrate, the method includes the steps of: (a) treating the surface of the substrate; and (b) bonding the calcium phosphate onto the surface of the substrate after the step (a), the step (a) being the step of placing the surface of the substrate in contact with ozone water. Therefore, the method of the present invention makes it possible to bond calcium phosphate and the substrate at a high bonding strength and at a high coverage. In addition, the method of the present invention provides an easy method for producing a calcium phosphate complex.

  • Patent number: 6344130
    Abstract: A method for generating highly concentrated ozone gas by adsorbing ozone gas generated by an ozonizer with an absorbent within an adsorption column and then separating highly concentrated ozone gas from the adsorption column. Three adsorption columns are arranged in parallel. Each of the adsorption columns is controlled to repeat four steps of an ozone gas adsorbing step, a stabilizing and pressurizing step, an ozone gas desorbing step and a cooling down step. Each of the ozone gas adsorbing step and the ozone gas desorbing step has operation time set twice the operation time of each of the stabilizing and pressurizing step and the cooling down step. An ozone gas concentrating unit comprises three adsorption columns which are set to operate one after another by ⅓ cycle lag. Highly concentrated ozone gas separated at the desorbing step of each adsorption column is once stored in an ozone gas storage vessel.
