A photoresist baking apparatus is provided. The photoresist baking apparatus comprises a baking chamber including an inlet, an outlet and a cover sealed connected thereon. The cover is applied to guide the hot air entering the baking chamber and includes a heating device for maintaining the temperature of the hot air. The heating device is disposed on the cover for heating the hot air flowing to the cover and maintaining the temperature of the hot air to be consistent when the hot air flowing to the outlet, thereby to prevent from the photoresist volatile condensing and dripping due to decreased temperature after the photoresist volatile contacting the cover and affecting the product quality, and to guarantee the temperature homogeneity inside the baking chamber.

A method of treating a fuel cell system balance of plant component including coating the component with a slurry comprising CeO.sub.2, Y.sub.2O.sub.3 and/or HfO.sub.2 particles in a liquid, thereby forming a slurry coated component, followed by removing the liquid.

There is provided a method of producing a composite which is capable of suitably forming a silicone resin layer for preventing the facilitated transport film from entering the porous support in an acidic gas separation film formed by forming a facilitated transport film on a porous support, and the composite. The problem is solved by the method of producing a composite including hydrophilizing the surface of the porous support using a roll-to-roll system; and coating the hydrophilized surface of the porous support with a silicone coating solution that becomes the silicone resin layer using the roll-to-roll system.

Embodiments disclosed include a method of fortifying a food crop with a trace element, the method comprising growing the food crop in a growth medium comprising the trace element in the form of metal oxide particles coated with an organic compound, and a food crop fortified with a trace element in the form of metal oxide particles. Also disclosed is a method of forming coated particles, the method comprising: providing a first quantity of metal oxide particles; providing a second quantity of a coating material comprising an organic compound; and mechanically mixing the metal oxide particles with the coating material in a dry mixing process to provide a mixture comprising the metal oxide particles coated with the organic compound.

The present invention provides a water-based coating and/or coating system that can be used to form sag resistant wet layers or coatings on a wide range of substrates. The coating system is particularly effective for protecting metal-containing substrates, such as intermodal cargo containers, against corrosion. As an overview, the present invention provides water-based compositions suitable to form primer coats on substrates. Desirably, the primer incorporates a high level of one or more CAS agents for excellent sag resistance while drying in a broad range of relative humidity environments. Alternatively, modifications can be made to control temperature and humidity during spray application and drying as a way to increase sag resistance of the coating.

In the coating apparatus for granular bodies is disposed a rotatable hollow cylindrical drum in which there is an introduction apparatus for granular bodies and at least one movable separating element therein, with which a cycle zone can be partly separated from a downstream cycle zone and a movement of the at least one separating element that leads to release is achievable. An interior of the drum is divided into at least one cycle zone and a further cycle zone. A spray apparatus is disposed in one cycle zone, and an outlet in a cycle zone arranged downstream. A separating element is movable from a closed position into an open position. A separating element has a clear space above the closed subregion and an opening between one cycle zone and a cycle zone arranged thereafter, through which granular bodies can pass.
