Publication number: 20110148006Abstract: A fiber-producing apparatus includes a storage tank for storing a melt of a source material, an electric storage tank heater, a non-contact thermometer for the melt, a temperature control section which between the electric heater and its power supply, which controls the electric heater based on measurement results obtained from the non-contact thermometer to adjust the temperature of the melt, a nozzle for ejecting the melt in the storage tank, a collector for collecting a fiber, a voltage generator for electrifying the melt, and an insulating transformer disposed between the temperature control section and the electric heater. Since a closed circuit is formed by the electric heater, the electric heater power supply, the temperature control section, and the insulating transformer disposed therebetween, no high-voltage current flows into the electric heater power supply or the temperature control section. This allows stable spinning to be readily performed without breaking the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicants: JFE CHEMICAL CORPORATION, HYOGO PREFECTUREInventors: Katsuhiro Nagayama, Kunio Miyazawa, Shigeyuki Nakano

Patent number: 7560027Abstract: A method and an apparatus for treating organic wastewater and sludge which remarkably reduce the generated amount of sludge at a much lower running cost, and which reduce the size and the capacity of the solubilization tank. The method and apparatus for treating sludge employs a biological treatment system, wherein a biological treatment of wastewater is carried out, and a solid-liquid separation unit for separating a solid from a liquid in the wastewater after the biological treatment, to obtain a treated wastewater and a sludge. The apparatus has a means for obtaining a withdrawn sludge from a part of the sludge and an alkali-treatment tank, wherein an alkali-treatment of the withdrawn sludge is carried out. The apparatus also has a biological solubilization tank which solubilizes the sludge after the alkali-treatment under an anaerobic, anoxic or microaerophilic condition, and a means for recycling the solubilized sludge to the biological treatment system.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: JFE Engineering CorporationInventors: Toyoshi Yamaguchi, Kunio Miyazawa, Yasuki Yao, Toshiaki Tsubone, Jun Miyata, Yoshinori Yomura

Publication number: 20040004038Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for treating organic wastewater and sludge, which remarkably reduce the generated amount of sludge at much lower running cost, and which get the size smaller the capacity of the solubilization tank. The method and apparatus for treating sludge has: an biological treatment system, which applies biological treatment to wastewater, a solid-liquid separation unit for separating a solid from a liquid in the wastewater after treating the biologically, to obtain a treated wastewater and a returned sludge. And the apparatus has means for obtaining a withdrawn sludge from a part of the returned sludge, an alkali-treatment tank, which applies alkali-treatment to the withdrawn sludge. The apparatus, also, has a biological solubilization tank, which solubilizes the sludge after treating the alkali-treatment under an anaerobic, anoxic, or microaerophilic condition, and a means for returning sludge to recycle the solubilized sludge to the biological treatment system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2002Publication date: January 8, 2004Applicant: JFE ENGINEERING CORPORATIONInventors: Toyoshi Yamaguchi, Kunio Miyazawa, Yasuko Yao, Toshiaki Tsubone, Jun Miyata, Yoshinori Yomura

Publication number: 20030095918Abstract: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for decomposing halogenated organic compounds in flue gas discharged from waste incinerator or the like by injecting a composition containing at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of trivalent manganese oxide and tetravalent manganese oxide into the flue gas, by letting flue gas pass through a moving bed of a composition containing at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of trivalent manganese oxide and tetravalent manganese oxide into the flue gas, or by letting flue gas pass through a fixed bed configured by detachable single or plural packed chambers each filled with a composition containing at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of trivalent manganese oxide and tetravalent manganese oxide. The invention allows decomposing halogenated organic compounds in flue gas readily at low cost without significantly decreasing the treatment capacity. In addition, the invention allows recycling the used manganese oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Inventors: Hideki Nagano, Kunio Miyazawa

Patent number: 6485864Abstract: Boron-substituted graphite, which contains N-bonded boron atoms in a small proportion relative to whole substituted boron atoms, is produced by heating a feed fine particulate mixture of an infusibilized carbonaceous material and a boron compound such that the carbonaceous material is carbonized into a carbon structure, raising a temperature of the resulting heated fine particulate mixture promptly to a graphitization treatment temperature in an inert atmosphere unreactive with boron, retaining the graphitization treatment temperature for a time sufficient to allow graphitization of the carbon structure to proceed to a desired extent, and then quickly cooling the resulting graphitized mixture. The boron-substituted graphite is useful as a negative electrode in a lithium-ion secondary battery.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Adchemco CorporationInventors: Kunio Miyazawa, Masayasu Nagoshi, Kenshi Noda, Takaaki Kondo, Tetsuo Shiode, Hidetoshi Morotomi, Hiromi Okamoto, Yasuhiro Mogi, Kazuteru Tabayashi
