Disclosed is a stainless steel member with a high corrosion resistance suitable for a structural member used in highly corrosive environments, such as an edge seal plate of a molten carbonate fuel cell. This stainless steel member includes a base material consisting of stainless steel containing chromium, and a corrosion-protective layer formed on the surface of the base material. In this corrosion-protective layer, a granular heterophase containing chromium is precipitated in an ordered alloy consisting of aluminum and the constituent elements of the base material.

A liquid fuel cell device includes a liquid fuel cell body with a fuel electrode, an oxidizer electrode and an electrolyte layer between the electrodes, and a liquid fuel supply system supplying a liquid fuel to the fuel electrode. The fuel supply system includes a first tank configured to contain a concentration-adjusted liquid fuel and supply the concentration-adjusted liquid fuel to the fuel electrode, and a second tank configured to contain a high-concentration liquid fuel and supply the high-concentration liquid fuel to the first tank. The first tank includes an internal liquid transfer device configured to transfer the concentration-adjusted liquid fuel to the fuel electrode. The cell device further includes an external driving device provided outside the first tank and configured to drive the internal liquid transfer device. The external driving device is physically separated from the internal liquid transfer device.

The chemical reaction apparatus of the present invention can increase the producing rate of the main product gas by effectively removing carbon dioxide from the reaction site, the carbon dioxide generated together with the main product as the raw material gas is made to react at a high temperature of 400.degree. C. The reaction apparatus comprises a reactor for generating a main product gas and a byproduct gas which is carbon dioxide, by making a raw material gas to react, and lithium zirconate granular material placed in the reactor, to react with the byproduct carbon dioxide gas, thereby preparing a carbonate salt.
