Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag such that a large amount of Ca can be eluted from the steelmaking slag into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. The present invention executes, in this order: a step for removing an iron-containing compound from steelmaking slag by performing magnetic separation on the steelmaking slag; and a step for bringing the steelmaking slag subjected to magnetic separation into contact with an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. In addition, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide and the steelmaking slag are brought into contact with each other while the steelmaking slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steelmaking slag is being ground.

Abstract: A distance between the rotary shaft and the pressurizing position of the polygon mirror by the mirror fixing spring is shorter than a distance between the rotary shaft and a position at which the polygon mirror comes into contact with the seat surface. When a difference between an outer radius and an inner radius of the polygon mirror is defined as A, and a difference between the distance between the rotary shaft and the pressurizing position of the polygon mirror by the mirror fixing spring and the distance between the rotary shaft and the position at which the polygon mirror comes into contact with the seat surface is defined as C, the relationship of 0<C?A/4 is established. When a distance, in a direction orthogonal to the rotary shaft, between a position at which the inner diameter side of the polygon mirror comes into contact with the sleeve and the position of the seat surface is defined as E, the relationship of A/3?E?A/2 is established.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering calcium-containing solid components from steelmaking slag, with which it is possible to easily increase the calcium recovery rate. With the method, steelmaking slag is immersed in an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide, and calcium in the steelmaking slag is made to leach out into the aqueous solution. Next, the immersed steelmaking slag is removed from the aqueous solution, and, subsequently, the pH of the aqueous solution is increased. When solid components precipitated by doing so are recovered, it is possible to recover solid components containing 20% or more by mass in terms of calcium atoms.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting calcium from steel slag such that more calcium can be eluted into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide from the steel slag. The present invention comprises carrying out, in the following order, a step of subjecting a calcium compound contained in the steel slag to hydration and a step of bringing the steel slag subjected to the hydration into contact with the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. Furthermore, in the present invention, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide is brought into contact with the steel slag while the steel slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steel slag is being ground. As a result of these methods, more calcium can be easily eluted into the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide from the steel slag.

Abstract: An aqueous solution containing 30 ppm or more of carbon dioxide is brought into contact with a steel-making slag to elute phosphorus and calcium contained in the steel-making slag into the aqueous solution. Subsequently, carbon dioxide is removed from the aqueous solution to precipitate a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound. In this manner, a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound and containing phosphorus in an amount of 1% by mass or more in terms of phosphorus atom content can be produced.

Abstract: An automobile wheel includes first bottom portions provided inward in a radial direction of a front side bead seat portion and a back side bead seat portion between the front side bead seat portion and back side bead seat portion and second bottom portions provided inward in the radial direction of the first bottom portions. The first bottom portions and second bottom portions are alternately provided in a circumferential direction. This configuration increases difference in area between area of a cross section in the radial direction of a tire-internal space in sections where the first bottom portions are provided and area of a cross section in the radial direction in sections where the second bottom portions are provided and thus allows improvement in an effect of reducing cavity resonant noise.

Abstract: A method for measuring trace quantities of OH groups in quartz glass comprises preparing a set of test pieces comprising a reference test piece from a blank of a quartz glass body whose OH group content is known and a sample test piece from a quartz glass body whose OH group content is to be measured, having two planar planes faced to each other, setting the sample test piece and the reference test piece in an infrared spectrophotometer; successively irradiating perpendicular to one of the two planar planes an incident infrared radiation in a wavelength region of approximately 2500 nm to approximately 2950 nm, while simultaneously detecting the outgoing radiation spectrum from the other plane; obtaining the difference of the outgoing radiation spectrum of each of the test pieces; selecting the absorbance peak assigned to OH groups at a wavelength of 2720 nm to obtain the peak height thereof; and calculating the concentration of OH groups from the peak height in the sample test piece.

Abstract: A separator for a low-temperature fuel cell comprises a stainless steel substrate S having a surface to which carbonaceous particles such as graphite particles GP or carbon black aggregates CA adhere with dotted distribution. The carbonaceous particles are preferably bonded through a diffusion layer DL to the surface of the substrate S. The carbonaceous particle-dispersed layer may be a plating layer in which graphite particles GP or carbon black aggregates CA are dispersed or formed by thermal decomposition of organic components in a carbonaceous particle-dispersed paint applied to the surface of the substrate S. Since carbonaceous particles free from oxide films adhere to the surface of the acid-resistant stainless steel substrate S, contact resistance of the separator is sufficiently low. Consequently, a power generator having a plurality of fuel cells laminated together exhibits high power-generating efficiency with less heat loss caused by a Joule heat.

Abstract: A metal vapor 12 passing through a guide duct 13 from a vapor source 10 to a steel strip 1 is sampled through a takeoff pipe 14 to a measuring chamber 15. The metal vapor is irradiated with a measuring beam 20 in the chamber 15, to detect the absorbance of luminous energy in the metal vapor. The detected value of absorbance is used for the quantitative calculation of the metal vapor 12 passing through the guide duct 13, and the opening ratio of a shutter 17 provided in the guide duct 13 is adjusted on the basis of the calculation result so as to control the flow amount of the metal vapor 12 passing through the guide duct 13. In the case where a large amount of the metal vapor 12 passes through the guide duct 13, the amount of the metal vapor 12 reaching the measuring beam 20 is reduced by partially discharging the metal vapor 12 from the measuring chamber 15.
