(230131) -- ZHUHAI, Jan. 31, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A staff member maintains a device loading immersed tube E23 of Shenzhen-Zhongshan highway underwater tunnel at an immersed tube smart factory of CCCC Fourth Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd. on Niutou Island, Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, Jan. 30, 2023. The prefabrication of E23, the last immersed tube (non-standard tube, including the final joint) of an underwater tunnel, a section of highway linking Shenzhen and Zhongshan in Guangdong, was completed on Tuesday. After being poured concrete, the 164.5-meter steel-shelled tube weighs about 80,000 tonnes. With a total length of 6,845 meters, the underwater tunnel consists of 5,035-meter-long prefabricated immersed tubes, including 32 ones and a final joint. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan highway, which is scheduled to open to traffic in 2024, is expected to cut the travel time between the two cities from two hours to about 20 minutes. (Xinhua/Liu Dawei)

MM Catalyst, an auxiliary catalyst device developed by Haiba Iron Works in collaboration with Nichidai Filter

Haiba Iron Works (Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture), in cooperation with Nichidai Filter (Ujitawara Town, Kyoto Prefecture), a stainless steel diffusion bonding (sintering) company, has developed an auxiliary catalytic converter "MM catalyst" that shortens the activation time of the main catalyst for exhaust gas purification by about 40%. The MM catalyst is manufactured by loading precious metals onto a structure made of sintered stainless steel wire mesh. Compared to the honeycomb structure that is commonly used in catalysts, the reaction space is more complex and the contact efficiency of exhaust gas is improved. Noboru Ishizawa, director of the technology department at Haiba Iron Works, said, "We will further refine our technology through repeated tests using actual machines (for practical use). On July 10, 2019, the head office of Haruba Ironworks in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
