ABSTRACT:
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
The disclosures of Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2000-114271 filed on Apr. 14, 2000 and 2001-096960 filed on Mar. 29, 2001, including the specifications, drawings and abstracts are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a technology so that those who carry out a business using a material containing chemical substances can easily calculate the discharge and transfer amount of the chemical substances.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many people proceed business activity using various materials which contain chemical substances. For example, those who engage in the production of automobiles use a coating in the production process of the automobiles. Chemical substances such as toluene, xylene, and the like are contained in the coating. Those who engage in the cleaning business use various cleansers. Various chemical substances are also contained in various cleansers. Materials containing the chemical substances which are used for a business are discharged in air, water basin and the like. Some of the chemical substances are supplied to the market as products such as an automobile and the like.
In order to grasp where and what kind of the chemical substances were discharged and transferred by every delivery separate whereabouts of the chemical substances such as products, air, water basin and the like, those who use materials containing the chemical substances must investigate many matters. Firstly, they must know what kind of chemical substances are contained and how much they are contained in the materials which they use. Secondly, they must know at what ratio the chemical substances are discharged and transferred by every separate whereabouts of the chemical substances such as products, air, water basin and the like, according to a use method and a discharge method carried out by themselves. For example, even in the same washing liquids, the discharge rate by every separate whereabouts such as air or water basin differs depending on a case of washing work pieces by soaking them or a case of washing work pieces by blowing them. In addition, even if the components of the washed and contaminated wash liquids are identical, the discharge and transfer rate by every separate whereabouts differs depending on the subsequent water discharging method.
Rigorous man power is required to really carry out the above-mentioned tasks. Even at a first stage, they must investigate a list of the chemical substances and contents by every chemical substance by inquiring them to the supplier of the materials. Further, the data are often changed by the circumstances of the supplier of the materials. At a second stage, it is more troublesome, the calculation of the discharge and transfer amount by every separate whereabouts is sometimes difficult, and a big scale experiment is required in some cases.
In order to reduce the load of labors required for the first stage, a technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2000-29900 is proposed. In this technology, a plurality of business corporations cooperate each other and propose a technology for making the list of the chemical substances contained in the materials and the contents of the respective materials a database, by noticing that there is a sequence that one complex material is made by combination of a plurality of materials, and a high dimensional materials is made by combination of the complex materials with other materials.
FIG. 1
exemplifies a case that a material D is prepared from a material A and a material B, and a material E is made from a material C and a material D. In this technology, the business corporations related to the sequence of the materials complete a common database of components in cooperation with each other. The database of components
2
are constructed in a server, a group of the suppliers of materials utilizes a network
4
such as an internet or the like, complete the database
2
in cooperation with each other, and utilizes it in cooperation with each other.
Firstly, the supplier of the material A registers in the database
2
that a chemical substance P is contained by a% in the material A that he supplies. Simultaneously, the supplier of the material B registers in the database
2
that the chemical substance P is contained by b% in the material B which he supplies. Those producing the material D using the material A and the material B access the database
2
, so that they can know the content of the chemical substance P in the material A and the material B which they use as a raw material. Accordingly, the supplier of the material D can calculate the content of the chemical substance P in the material D which he supplies and the content ratio from the above-mentioned data, and registers it in the database of components
2
.
The database of components related to many materials can be prepared speedy while suppressing the load of the respective business corporations to lower level, by applying the above-mentioned technology to a series of sequences of the materials.
Although the above-mentioned technology is a very good technology of providing speedy the database of components of the chemical substances contained in materials while suppressing the load to lower level, the discharge and transfer amount of the chemical substances by every delivery separate whereabouts cannot be calculated only by the technology.
For example, the discharge and transfer amount calculated by every separate whereabouts such an air, water basin and the like differs quite between a case that a metal material is immersed in the material A containing a% of the chemical substance P and the material A is coated on the metal material, and a case that the material A is coated on the metal material by spraying. The discharge and transfer amount by every separate whereabouts differs depending on a case of primarily processing and comprehensively water discharging washing liquid A containing a% of a chemical substance P or a case of comprehensively water discharging without primary processing. Of course, the discharge and transfer amount by every separate whereabouts differs depending on a case of incinerating sludge produced by water discharge processing or a case of land fill.
Accordingly, even if it can be known, for example, that a g of the chemical substance P is contained in 100 g of the material A from the fore-mentioned database, the discharge and transfer amount of the chemical substance P by every separate whereabouts cannot be calculated only by the data.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of calculating the discharge and transfer amount of chemical substances by every separate whereabouts, by developing the fore-mentioned conventional database of components which is commonly utilized.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, a calculation method of the discharge and transfer amount of chemical substances by every separate whereabouts is equipped with
(1) a step of inputting and storing a data which indicates a material, a use step of the material and a use amount of the material which are transmitted from a client terminal through a network;
(2) a step of searching for a database of material components storing the contained chemical substance and content thereof corresponding to the material by using the inputted material as a key, and searching for the chemical substance contained in the material and the content;
(3) a step of searching for the database of a material balance coefficient which stores a ratio in which the chemical substance is discharged and transferred by every separate whereabouts of the chemical substance such as air, water basin, a product and the like corresponding to the chemical substance and the use step of the material by using the searched chemical substance and the inputted use step of the material as a key, and searching for the discharge and transfer ratio by every separate whereabouts when th
