Abstract: Provided is a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. The battery pack includes a plurality of pouch-type battery cells, a pack case having an inner space in which the plurality of pouch-type battery cells are accommodated, and a cell cover at least partially surrounding and supporting at least some of the plurality of pouch-type battery cells. The cell cover includes a first cover portion covering one side surface of at least one of the plurality of battery cells, a second cover portion covering the other side surface of at least one of the plurality of battery cells, and a third cover portion connecting the first cover portion to the second cover portion and covering an upper end portion of the at least one battery cell. A first venting hole through which gas or flame is discharged is formed in at least one portion of the third cover portion.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a plurality of pouch-type battery cells; a pack case accommodating the pouch-type battery cells in the internal space; and a cell cover. The cell cover includes two unit covers at least partially spaced apart, provided to at least partially surround at least some of the pouch-type battery cells among the plurality of pouch-type battery cells in the internal space of the pack case. The cell cover is configured to allow venting gas to be discharged into the separation space between the two unit covers, thereby ensuring excellent safety when a thermal event occurs. Moreover, the present application discloses a battery module and a vehicle including the same.

Abstract: The method for treating wastewater includes a first flocculation-and-sedimentation process and a second flocculation-and-sedimentation process, wherein the first flocculation-and-sedimentation process include: passing wastewater through a first flocculation reaction tank; passing the first treated water through a third flocculation reaction tank; passing the third treated water through a fourth flocculation reaction tank; and passing the fourth treated water through a first sedimentation tank to generate fifth treated water and sludge, and the second flocculation-and-sedimentation process include: passing the fifth treated water through a fifth flocculation reaction tank to generate sixth treated water; passing the sixth treated water through a sixth flocculation reaction tank to generate sixth treated water; passing the sixth treated water through a seventh flocculation reaction tank to generate eighth treated water; and passing the eighth treated water through a second sedimentation tank to generate ninth t

Abstract: A cell assembly according to the present disclosure includes a cell stack including one pouch-type battery cell or two or more pouch-type battery cells stacked; and a cell cover covering two side portions of the cell stack along a widthwise direction of the cell stack and a top portion of the cell stack, wherein the cell cover is configured to adjust a width of the cell cover according to a width of the cell stack.

Example embodiments also include a method of manufacturing a battery insulation sheet, and a battery module including the battery insulation sheet.

Abstract: A battery pack includes at least one battery module; a pack frame accommodating the battery module; a venting hole formed in the pack frame; and a mesh structure covering the venting hole, wherein a duct member is formed between the mesh structure and the pack frame, and an adsorption member is formed on the duct member.

Abstract: A process of continuous production for polyester, comprising continuously supplying an esterification or transesterification product comprising ester oligomers with an acid value of less than 100 meq/kg to a liquid phase polymerization reactor, wherein the esterification or transesterification product is produced by esterification or transesterification of a polycarboxylic acid or an alkyl ester thereof and a polyhydric alcohol; and performing a liquid-phase polymerization at a temperature of 200 to 270° C. and at a pressure of 0 to 5 torr in a liquid-phase polymerization reactor to produce the polyester with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.4 dl/g or higher.

Abstract: A method of producing an unsaturated acid from a salt of a hydroxycarboxylic acid, the method includes providing an aqueous solution including a salt of a hydroxycarboxylic acid; adding a solvent with a boiling point of 200° C. or higher to the aqueous solution; and heating the aqueous solution at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the solvent to split a salt from the salt of the hydroxycarboxylic acid while simultaneously dehydrating the hydroxycarboxylic acid, thereby converting the hydroxycarboxylic acid to the unsaturated acid.
