Abstract: Provided are a treatment apparatus for removing fluorine content from water to be treated and a method of treating water to be treated using the same. Water to be treated, containing fluorine, is introduced into a treatment tank over a first path. Slaked lime is added to the water to be treated over a second path. Calcium chloride is added to the water to be treated over a third path. Thus, the fluorine contained in the water to be treated combines with calcium forming slaked lime or calcium chloride, thus yielding calcium fluoride, which is immobilized. When a filter film immersed in the water to be treated is used for filtration, the calcium fluoride contained in the water to be treated is concentrated.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, plural computational units execute computation relating to image processing. Plural image processing units cause the computational units to execute image processing on image information. A section number acquisition unit acquires a number of sections for sectioning the plural image processing units into groups. A sectioning unit sections the plural image processing units by causing the image processing units to belong to the respective groups based on the number of sections and the order of the image processing. A sequential storage processing unit receives requests for storage of the image information from image processing units belonging to the same group, and sequentially executes processing of the requests without performing exclusive access control.
