A Cr trapping agent is disposed so that it contacts with constituting components of the substrate containing Cr. As the Cr trapping agent, an element or Ag is used, wherein the element is stronger in basicity than alkali metals or alkaline earth metals. Since the Cr trapping agent prevents transfer of Cr towards the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, the reaction between Cr and alkali metals or alkaline earth metals is prevented.

Exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine and a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas

For detecting a component of a substance (of liquid or solid) on a front surface of a substrate, the substrate with the substance thereon is transferred into a vaporizing section, the substance is heated in the vaporizing section so that the component is vaporized from the substance in the vaporizing section, the component vaporized is fed from the substance in the vaporizing section to a detecting section, and the vaporized component is detected in the detecting section.

Apparatus and method for detecting vaporized gas

A hazardous material detection system that can suppress occurrence of contamination due to ionization. When a sensor detects that a test sample has entered an inspection region of an X-ray inspection device as a belt conveyor moves, a corona discharge power supply in a hazardous material detection device is turned on for a constant time, to introduce a qaseous sample containing a substance stuck to the test sample into the hazardous material detection device via a sucking section and gaseous sample introduction piping, in order to ionize the gaseous sample and analyze it at an analyzer, based on a result of which analysis, a data processor decides whether the gaseous sample contains a hazardous material, to display a decision result on a screen. When the test sample is detected by an exit side sensor, the corona discharge power supply is turned off.
