Title: Noboru Takikawa: Innovator in Carbon Recovery and Electrostatic Separation
Introduction
Noboru Takikawa is a prominent inventor based in Machida, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of carbon recovery and electrostatic separation, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches aim to enhance energy efficiency and resource recovery in industrial processes.
Latest Patents
One of Takikawa's latest patents is a corecovery method and apparatus designed for desorbing and recovering carbon dioxide with low energy consumption from gas discharged by power generation plants. This invention utilizes a COrecovery apparatus that alternates between adsorption and desorption of carbon dioxide in two COabsorbers, each containing a carbon dioxide adsorbent. The method cleverly uses waste steam from a steam turbine to facilitate the desorption process, thereby improving energy efficiency.
Another notable patent is an electrostatic separation method and device. This invention allows for the stable separation of unburned components from coal ash produced by coal-fired power plants, even when the concentration is as high as 15% to 30%. The device features a separation zone formed by a flat plate lower side electrode and an upper side electrode made of high dielectric resin. This innovative approach enables the reuse of high unburned component ash as fuel and low unburned component ash as an auxiliary material for concrete.
