  • Publication number: 20160194559
    Abstract: There is disclosed a breathing plastic material being obtained by melting a plastic raw material (e.g., polypropylene (PP)) accounting for the proportion of 95%˜50% into a thermo-molten state firstly. Further, porous far-infrared calcined clay accounting for the proportion of 5% to 50% is added to and then mixed with the plastic in the thermo-molten state. After compounding for a period of time, a thermo-melt strip is formed by pressing. Afterwards, the strip is further cut, after a cooling process, into pellets to form plastic pellets of the breathing plastic material. As such, a plastic product made of the plastic pellets may be capable of generating far-infrared ray multi-echelon vibration wave naturally so as to achieve no toxin, deodorization, bacteriostasis, as well as releasing negative ions and releasing bio-spectrum wave having a wavelength ranging from 3 to 14 micrometers timely so as to preserve human health.

  • Publication number: 20150182974
    Abstract: A flue gas treatment device is provided. A wet electrostatic precipitator and a flue gas heater are integrated in an integrated flue housing of the flue gas treatment device, thus the occupied area of the flue gas treatment device is smaller than that of the solution with devices being arranged separately. Furthermore, since a bidirectional transition flue is not required to be arranged in the integrated flue housing, the flue gas has a good flow uniformity, and further it is not required to arrange a flow equalization orifice plate in the flue, thus the flue gas has a small resistance, thereby reducing the power consumption of the draught fan and increasing the efficiency of the power plant.
