Abstract: By realizing or installing check valve liquid vein interrupters in each compartment of the battery the phenomenon of slow discharge of the retained volumes of electrolytes during long periods of inactivity of a redox flow battery, with the electrolyte pumps stopped altogether, can be practically eliminated with the effect that the battery is perfectly ready to deliver electric power immediately upon request even after prolonged periods of inactivity. Moreover, the presence of liquid vein interrupters on each compartment in either an outlet or an inlet port substantially preventing by-pass current during a not pumping phase, permits to increase the by pumping the electrolytes through the compartments of a battery stack intermittently, in other words in a pulsed manner, with a certain duty-cycle. Relatively brief pumping phases at relatively high flow rate alternated to phases of not pumping provide for a volumetrically adequate refreshing of the electrolytes present in the battery compartments and contrast the formation of gradients in the bodies of electrolyte.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rain garment (1) consisting of a multilayered flexible composite material (12) fitted with a membrane. The inside of said material is fully or partially lined with a lining material (13). Said lining material (13) consists of a hydrophilic or hydrophobic fabric. In the lower vertical edges, the lining material (13) is connected to the composite material (12) by the surfaces or only by the edges of the garment (1) by means of intermediate elements (21) made of a hydrophobic fabric. Said embodiment makes it possible for the humidity from the user of the garment (1) to be absorbed immediately by the lining material (13) and evacuated into the atmosphere while reliably excluding the possibility of the lining material (13) of the garment (1) being soaked by the rainwater impinging upon the composite material (12) from the outside. The intermediate elements (21) serve as a barrier reliably and effectively separating the lining material (13) from the composite material (12).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combustion method and a burner for forming a flame temperature having a flat temperature distribution which is the same as that in a case of a long furnace length even if a furnace length is short, and performs complete combustion. Further, a regenerative burner technique can be applied even if a furnace length is short. Combustion air whose quantity is less than the theoretical air quantity or not less than the theoretical air quantity is injected into a furnace so as to form a jet flow cross section having a larger specific surface area than that in a case of supplying the same quantity of combustion air from a circular throat, and fuel is injected toward this air jet flow to cause the fuel to be rapidly mixed with the air jet flow with strong turbulences before losing the velocity energy of the fuel. More preferably, an air throat 13 has a flat rectangular opening 13a. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a method for directly leaching zinc concentrate in one of the stages contained in the hydrometallurgical process for the production of electrolytic zinc. The invention method comprises: a neutral leach step, a zinc concentrate leach step, and an iron oxidation step. In the zinc concentrate leach step a neutral leach residue and an iron sediment returned from the iron oxidation step are repulped by the spent electrolyte followed by adding thereto zinc concentrate to extract zinc from the zinc concentrate by leaching it under atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of not lower than 90 DEG C but not higher than the boiling point of the solution. According to this method the concentration of Fe(III) ions in the zinc concentrate leach solution is significantly increased as compared with that of the corresponding leach solution of the prior art. Due to this Fe(III) ion concentration, leaching rate of zinc concentrate is enhanced. <IMAGE>
