Abstract: A method for manufacturing materials solidified with sulfur, comprising the steps of bringing the water content of a mixture of sulfur and a raw material to less than 3% by weight, heating and mixing the mixture of raw materials including molten sulfur at 119 to 159° C., to cause the sulfur to penetrate and encapsulate the raw material that is solid or liquid at the molecular level, thereby preparing a fluid mixture, and, if necessary, then molding the mixture into a desired shape or cooling it into a granular form.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing molded materials solidified by sulfur includes an apparatus for bringing the water content of a solid raw material to be mixed with sulfur, such as slag and dust resulting from steel-making, to 3% by weight or below, an apparatus for heating and kneading the mixture of raw materials including molten sulfur at 119 to 159.degree. C., to cause the sulfur to penetrate into pore spaces on the solid raw material, thereby preparing a fluid kneaded mixture, and an apparatus for molding the mixture into a prescribed shape. Utilizing the apparatus, slag and dust resulting from steel-making, etc. is solidified with a melted sulfur thereby, enabling solidified and molded materials to be produced industrially, while preventing the generation of sulfurous acid gas. The materials' performance, such as physical strength and quality, are constant and high, and harmful heavy metals or the like will not ooze out of the materials.

Abstract: A composition for gas purification, comprising a reaction product of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, manganese, chromium, nickel, zinc, aluminum, copper, tin and cobalt, and alloys containing these metal elements, with at least one oxypolybasic acid, wherein the metal co-exists therein while in an unreacted state.

Abstract: An aqueous solution or solid substance contains divalent iron ions and L-ascorbic acid. The L-ascorbic acid is present in an amount of 2.0 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of the divalent iron ions. The aqueous solution or solid substance can be used advantageously as deodorants, germicides, foods freshness preserving agents, water treatment agents or the like.

Abstract: A chemically active composition containing divalent iron ions, wherein an iron (II) compound, ascorbic acid and or citric acid and alum are contained and the ratio between the divalent iron ions in the iron (II) compound and ascorbic acid or citric acid is between 1:0.02 and 0.30 (in the case of ascorbic acid) or 1:0.01 and 0.80 (in the case of citric acid) by weight ratio. The composition is applied in the form of an aqueous solution or solid matter as a deodorant, freshness-preserving agent for foods, growth promoting agent for plants and flame retardant for burnable materials. Not only uni-functional materials can be obtained but also multi-functional materials.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for refining sugar solutions with magnesia wherein magnesia used for refining of a sugar solution is calcined together with pearlite and/or diatomaceous earth at least in an amount of the same weight as that of the magnesia and the resulting calcined mixture is used for refining of the sugar solution again.

Abstract: Magnesia particles obtained by calcining at a temperature of 500.degree.-700.degree. C. show excellent adsorbing properties.

Abstract: In removing color components and COD components from waste water, the waste water is treated with an inorganic adsorbent, the mixture thus obtained is subjected to a sedimentation treatment to separate the adsorbent adsorbed the color and COD components as a slurry layer, and a portion of the adsorbent slurry is returned to the adsorption step and the remainder thereof is subjected to a regenerating treatment to recycle as an adsorbent.Pollution-free water is effectively obtained by the above method.

Abstract: Magnesia particles obtained by calcining at a temperature of 500.degree. - 700.degree. C. show excellent adsorbing properties.

Abstract: An aqueous solution containing aluminum is mixed with an aqueous solution containing calcium and/or an aqueous solution containing magnesium and, if necessary, further with an aqueous solution containing iron and the pH of the resulting mixture is adjusted to cause insolubilization of the metallic elements present therein and consequently gives rise to a coprecipitation product. This coprecipitation product is dehydrated and dried and, as an adsorbent, brought into contact with waste water containing organic pollutants. The adsorbent adsorbs and removes said organic pollutants from said waste water.
