Abstract:
A system for detecting leakage of gas, capable of easily and reliably detecting the leakage of gas in a field of a predetermined range. The system for detecting leakage of gas comprises a gas feeding amount detector means (1) for detecting the feeding amount of gas at the main gas pipe which branches into individual user pipes, a gas using rate detector means (2) for detecting the using amount of gas at individual users, and a leakage determining means (3) which finds the total amount of the used gas as the sum of amounts of gas used at individual users, and compares the total amount of the used gas with the gas feeding amount to determine if there is a leakage of gas between the main gas pipe and individual users.
Abstract:
A process for producing a crystalline microporous body under mild conditions using simple equipment in a highly safe state, which process is suited for producing various crystalline microporous bodies usable as adsorbents, catalysts and separating materials. The process is characterized by the use of a crystallization regulator comprising a cationic compound or an amine and the starting material containing a silicate having an ideal compositional formula of NaHSi2O5 or silicon dioxide or the use of the starting material containing silicon dioxide and an aluminum salt, and comprises the step of mixing the reactants, the step of conducting solid-liquid separation of the fine particles thus formed, and the step of crystallizing the solid component thus separted. As compared with the conventional hydrothermal synthesis process requiring such severe conditions as high temperature, pressure and alkalinity, this process is improved in safety and economy, serves to control the pore diameters arbitrarily, and gives a molded body retaining a high content of the porous structure.

A method of shaping a silicon nitride or sialon sinter by utilizing the superplasticity thereof as such without being composited, and a shaper sinter obtained thereby. The method comprises subjecting a silicon nitride or sialon sinter having a linear density of the cyrstal grain with respect to the length of 50 mu m in the two-dimensional cross section of the sinter of 120 to 250 and a relative density thereof of at least 95 % to plastic deformation at a temperature of 1,300 to 1,700 DEG C under tension or compression at a strain rate of 10 /sec or below. The shaped sinter has a preferred orientation of 5-80 % as defined by Saltykov's technique and a linear density of 80 to 200 and is excellent in mechanical properties particularly at ordinary temperature.

They are excellent in reproduction properties and the capability of accumulating fats and have an extremely high (n-3) DHA and (n-6) DPA productivity. Thus, (n-3) DHA and/or (n-6) DPA, which are useful in the fields of foods and drugs, can be efficiently produced by using these microorganisms. Also, fats obtained by incubating these microorganisms are provided. When added to various feeds or foods, these fat compositions containing (n-3) DHA having various physiological activities together with (n-6) DPA it possible to stably and efficiently supply (n-3) DHA and/or (n-6) DPA to the subjects requiring the same.

Abstract:
Described are a method of removing harmful ions such as copper, zinc, cadmium, chromium or lead contained in water efficiently and with a reduced amount of formation of sludge and a removing agent used therefor. The removing method is such that an anionic group-containing hydrophilic polymeric substance is dispersed in the water in an undissolved state, and the harmful ions are insolubilized while maintaining the hydrophilic polymeric substance in the undissolved state. The harmful ion removing agent is characterized in that the agent is a powder or liquid containing an anionic group-containing hydrophilic polymeric substance.
