Publication number: 20110185701Abstract: A working fluid consisting essentially of CO2, a molecule having a low ratio of specific heats, is expanded by a gas turbine 4. Thus, even if the pressure changes between the inlet side and the outlet side of the gas turbine 4, a temperature drop as a temperature change is suppressed, so that an exhaust gas having a high temperature is obtained. Consequently, the difference between the temperature of the working fluid on the outlet side of a compressor 2 and the temperature of the exhaust gas on the outlet side of the gas turbine 4 is kept so great that a regeneration effect is enhanced, whereby thermal efficiency is increased without a decrease in the output.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2008Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: CENTRAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF ELECTRIC POWER INDUS TRYInventors: Eiichi Koda, Hiromi Shirai, Saburo Hara

Publication number: 20080216405Abstract: Biomass, including waste biomass, is gasified by a process in which the biomass is first carbonized, and the char and pyrolysis gas from the carbonizer are respectively fed to a high temperature gasifying part and a gas reformer part of a two-stage gasifier A gasifying agent is continuously fed to the gasifying part, and intermittently fed to the gas reformer, to maintain the temperature required to avoid tar formation in the gas reformer stage. Multiple carbonization chambers are operated in rotation. When the carbonization/gasification apparatus is used to provide fuel to an electric power generator set, exhaust heat from the generator power plant is fed back to the carbonizer, and can be supplemented by exchange of heat from the gas delivered to generator power plant from the outlet of the gasifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2008Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicants: Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Kanai Office CorporationInventors: Kazuyoshi Ichikawa, Jun Inumaru, Kazuhiro Kidoguchi, Saburo Hara, Masami Ashizawa, Maseo Kanai

Patent number: 6492503Abstract: There is provided a glycosaminoglycan having a backbone structure comprising a repetitive disaccharide bearing a uronic acid residue and a glucosamine residue, and having sulfate groups, wherein substantially no sulfate group bound to the hydroxyl group at the 6-position of the glucosamine residue in the backbone structure is detected as determined by a chemical disaccharide analysis method in which the glycosaminoglycan is decomposed with nitrous acid, reacted with para-nitrophenylhydrazine and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the molar % of a uronic acid residue having a sulfate group at the 2-position is not less than 45% relative to total uronic acid residues, which is calculated from a disaccharide composition obtained by an enzymatic disaccharide analysis method in which the glycosaminoglycan is digested with glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The glycosaminoglycan can be used as an active ingredient of pharmaceuticals.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2000Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Seikagaku CorporationInventors: Yutaka Kariya, Ryo Takano, Kaeko Kamei, Saburo Hara, Junichi Onaya, Yusuke Hori
