  • Publication number: 20240116028
    Abstract: A method of regenerating an acid gas adsorption device includes the steps of: causing an acid gas to be adsorbed to an acid gas adsorption material by supplying a gas including the acid gas to an acid gas adsorption device so that the gas is brought into contact with an acid gas adsorption layer; causing the acid gas to be desorbed from the acid gas adsorption material; removing the acid gas adsorption layer of the acid gas adsorption device, which has been subjected to the step of causing the acid gas to be adsorbed and the step of causing the acid gas to be desorbed, from a surface of a base material; and forming an acid gas adsorption layer including a porous carrier and an acid gas adsorption material on the surface of the base material from which the acid gas adsorption layer has been removed.

  • Patent number: 8966959
    Abstract: There is disclosed a filter inspection method which is excellent in sensitivity to detect defects of a filter and in operation efficiency. The filter inspection method includes a humidifying step of exposing a porous filter to moisture-containing air; and a detecting step of introducing water particles into the filter in a wet state through the humidifying step, to detect the water particles which pass through and flow out of the filter, thereby detecting defects of the filter.
