Provided is a method of recovering rare-earth elements by which rare-earth elements can be recovered efficiently from a bauxite residue serving as a raw material and containing the rare-earth elements. Specifically provided is a method of recovering rare-earth elements from a raw material, the raw material being a bauxite residue produced as a by-product in a Bayer process, the method including: using a bauxite residue having a specific surface area of 35 m/g or more; adding, to the raw material bauxite residue, a liquid leaching agent formed of an aqueous solution of at least one kind of mineral acid selected from sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfurous acid, thereby preparing a slurry having a liquid-solid ratio of 2 to 30 and a pH of 0.5 to 2.2; subjecting the slurry to leaching treatment of the rare-earth elements under a temperature condition of room temperature to 160&#xb0; C.; subjecting the slurry after the leaching treatment to solid-liquid separation, yielding a leachate; and separating and recovering the rare-earth elements from the leachate.

A stepping motor uses a low-cost ferrite magnet instead of an expensive rare-earth magnet. The stepping motor has characteristics equivalent or superior to those of a conventional stepping motor. The stepping motor is provided with a rotor, a stator yoke, and bearingsandwhich rotatably hold the rotorwith respect to the stator yoke. The rotorhas a columnar shape and has plural magnetic poles arranged in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface. The stator yokehas an outer cylindrical portion and an inner circumferential portion which surrounds the rotorand which has plural first pole teeth and plural second pole teeth. The outer diameter 'd' of the rotorand the outer diameter 'D' of the stator yokeare set so that the ratio of &#x201c;d/D&#x201d; is greater than 0.6.

Permanent-magnet stepping motor

An internal treatment apparatus for a patient having a flexible tubular body to be introduced into a patient includes a center opening for inserting therethrough an endoscope for observing a target site, the center opening being circular in cross section and disposed at a center of an end face of the flexible tubular body; and a plurality of circumferential apertures through which surgical instruments are inserted for performing a surgical procedure on the target site, the plurality of circumferential apertures being provided in the flexible tubular body at equi-angular intervals around the center opening.

A pH adjusting apparatus arranged above a water pit for refueling disposed in a reactor container that stores a nuclear reactor includes a pH adjuster, a basketthat contains the pH adjuster, and a basket housing containerthat houses the baskettherein and has formed therein an inlet through which a solvent for dissolving or diluting the pH adjuster flows in and an overflow pipethrough which a pH-adjusted solution generated by dissolving or mixing the pH adjuster in the solvent flows out to the water pit for refueling. Consequently, even if it is difficult to dispose the basketon a floor of the water pit for refueling, it is possible to suitably perform pH adjustment in the reactor container.

pH adjusting apparatus

A pH adjusting system includes a water pit for refuelingthat is disposed in a reactor container, which stores a reactor, and is capable of storing cooling water and a pH adjusting apparatusthat is disposed above the water pit for refuelingand houses a pH adjuster. The pH adjusting apparatuscauses a pH-adjusted solution generated by dissolving or mixing the pH adjuster to flow out to the water pit for refuelingbelow the pH adjusting apparatus. Consequently, even when it is difficult to dispose the pH adjusting apparatus on a floor of the water pit for refueling, it is possible to suitably perform pH adjustment in the reactor container
