  • Patent number: 9698425
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode material in which unevenness in a supporting amount of a carbonaceous film is less when using an electrode-active material having a carbonaceous film on a surface thereof as the electrode material, and which is capable of improving conductivity, and a method for producing the electrode material. The electrode material includes an aggregate formed by aggregating an electrode-active material in which a carbonaceous film is formed on a surface. In the electrode material, an average particle size of the aggregate is 0.5 to 100 ?m, a volume density of the aggregate is 50 to 80 vol % of a volume density in a case in which the aggregate is a solid, and 80% or more of the surface of the electrode-active material is covered with the carbonaceous film. Alternatively, the electrode material includes an aggregate formed by aggregating electrode-active material particles in which a carbonaceous film is formed on a surface.

  • Publication number: 20040245174
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a water purification cartridge in which the decreased function of the hollow fiber membranes is restored by cleaning and of which the operating cost of a purification treatment of raw water decreases. The present invention provides a water purification cartridge comprising a hollow fiber membrane element comprising a plurality of hollow fiber membranes bent in a U-shape and a potting material for binding both ends of the hollow fiber membranes so as to maintain the open states of the hollow fiber membranes and a cylindrical hollow fiber membrane case for covering the hollow fiber membranes, wherein the hollow fiber membrane element is detachably installed in the hollow fiber membrane case so that a fluid-tight state is maintained between the primary side and the secondary side of the hollow fiber membranes.

  • Patent number: 6471869
    Abstract: A crude oil processing method is provided wherein a membrane module is immersed in the crude oil contained in a processing tank and the crude oil is pressurized or driven by gravity for gravitational filtration, thereby to pass through the membrane, with the dehydrated oil that has passed being taken out through an oil collecting pipe. According to this method, a high degree of separation and removal of water content from the crude oil can be carried out regardless of the properties of the crude oil, and muddy matter can also be separated and removed.
