Publication number: US20220226769A1
Application number: 17/595,760

Abstract:
An aspect of the present invention is a gas treatment method including: an absorption step of bringing a gas to be treated, which contains carbon dioxide and a sulfur compound, into contact with an absorption liquid to be phase-separated by carbon dioxide absorption, to cause the absorption liquid to absorb the carbon dioxide and the sulfur compound; and a first release step of heating the absorption liquid brought into contact with the gas to be treated to a temperature equal to or higher than a temperature at which the carbon dioxide absorbed by the absorption liquid is released from the absorption liquid and lower than a temperature at which the sulfur compound absorbed by the absorption liquid is released from the absorption liquid, to release the carbon dioxide from the absorption liquid.

Publication number: US20220226943A1
Application number: 17/611,092

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an additively-manufactured object, in which a plurality of weld beads obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal are deposited on a base portion to build a built-up object, includes: a support bead forming step of forming a support bead on the base portion; and a depositing step of depositing a weld bead on the support bead. When the support bead is formed to be inclined from a vertical direction in the support bead forming step, a ratio H/W of a height H to a width W of the support bead is set to 0.35 or more.
