Abstract: A desalting method for raw water with at least a water-soluble salt contained therein comprises the following first and second steps: (1) removing water from said raw water to concentrate said raw water; and (2) removing at least a part of said water-soluble salt from the resulting concentrated rawwater. This method can conduct the desalting of raw water, which contains at least a water-soluble salt, industrially and economically.

Abstract: A deodorant and antimicrobial composition comprises an oxide or hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal, hydrated silica, and a cationic surfactant. A deodorant and antimicrobial resin composition can be obtained using the deodorant and antimicrobial composition and a thermoplastic resin. This deodorant and antimicrobial resin composition can be molded or otherwise formed.

Abstract: A deodorant and antimicrobial dispersion is formed of a deodorant and antimicrobial component, a binder resin and an aqueous or oily liquid medium. The deodorant and antimicrobial component comprises an oxide or hydroxide of an alkaline earth metal, hydrated silica, and a cationic surfactant.

Abstract: A deodorizing resin composition is composed of 99.9-50 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 0.1-50 parts by weight of a deodorizing ingredient. The deodorizing ingredient is a white or substantially colorless deodorizing agent, which may preferably be composed of 10-90 parts by weight of a zinc compound and 90-10 parts by weight of an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, an aromatic polycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, an acidic polymer or a salt thereof, or a sulfate of aluminum. A formed deodorizing article can be obtained by forming or molding the deodorizing resin composition into a desired shape. Formed articles of the deodorizing resin composition of this invention can have desired beautiful colors and are adapted to absorb offensive odors.

Abstract: A deodorizing coating formulation is composed of a white or substantially colorless deodorizing agent, a binder resin and a liquid medium. The deodorizing agent may preferably be composed of 10-90 parts by weight of a zinc compound and 90-10 parts by weight of an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid, aromatic polycarboxylic acid, acidic polymer or a sulfate of aluminum, or a salt thereof. A deodorizing sheet can be obtained by coating and/or impregnating a base sheet with the deodorizing coating formulation and then drying the resulting base sheet. The deodorizing sheet can shield a flavor or odor from external flavors or odors while maintaining air permeability, it is suitable for wrapping foods having strong flavors or odors.
