Disclosed herein is a method for separating an arsenic mineral from a copper-bearing material, including the steps of grinding a copper-bearing material containing arsenic, adding water to the copper-bearing material to prepare a slurry, and adding a flotation agent including a depressant, a frother, and a collector to the slurry and blowing air into the slurry for performing flotation to obtain a copper concentrate, wherein the depressant is a chelator. As the chelator, a polyethyleneamine or the like is used. Particularly, when triethylenetetramine is used as the chelator, the amount of triethylenetetramine to be added is preferably 1 to 10 equivalents relative to the amount of soluble copper generated by oxidation of the copper-bearing material, and the pH of the slurry is more preferably adjusted to 7 or more but 8 or less before the slurry is subjected to the flotation.

An optical amplifier including: a first amplifying unit amplifying an input light by utilizing a first excitation light and thereby outputting a first amplified light; a second amplifying unit amplifying the first amplified light by utilizing a second excitation light and thereby outputting a second amplified light; and a control unit detecting a first absorption rate of the first excitation light and a second absorption rate of the second excitation light, and controlling a level of the first excitation light and a level of second excitation light based on the first absorption rate and the second absorption rate. The first absorption rate corresponds to a ratio of the first excitation light absorbed in the first amplifying unit, and the second absorption rate corresponds to a ratio of the second excitation light absorbed in the second amplifying unit.

Provided are a simple and inexpensive cleaning apparatus and a method for cleaning capable of effectively cleaning the outer wall surface of a pipette. A pipette to be cleaned is positioned in a concave portion of the cleaning apparatus, and a cleaning liquid passed through inside of the pipette strikes an inner circumferential surface of the concave portion and bounces therefrom to splash against the outer wall surface of the pipette, thereby cleaning the outer surface. With above arrangement, without using an ejection apparatus of cleaning water, effect equivalent to that with the ejection apparatus can be attained. Furthermore, both the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the pipette can be cleaned by a single operation using the same cleaning water, thereby attaining easy internal cleaning work and short cleaning time.

In an optical transmission apparatus, levels of signal lights obtained by demultiplexing a WDM signal and corresponding to channels are detected, based on which a channel in which a signal is transmitted and a channel in which no signal is transmitted are determined. An attenuation amount of a channel in which no signal is transmitted in a predetermined range from the channel in which the signal is transmitted is set to a value equal to an attenuation amount of the channel in which the signal is transmitted. An attenuation amount of a channel in which no signal is transmitted out of the predetermined range from the channel in which the signal is transmitted is set to a value larger than the attenuation amount of the channel in which the signal is transmitted. The signal lights are attenuated based on the values and multiplexed.

There is provided a dispensing mechanism for a liquid to be dispensed that does not damage microspherical bodies such as an erythrocyte and a liposome in the liquid to be dispensed when the liquid to be dispensed such as a sample and test liquid is sucked/discharged with a pipette.When a liquid to be dispensed of a sample or a test liquid being an object to be measured includes a microspherical body, and the microspherical body is one with such property that it may be damaged when being contacted with a liquid having an osmotic pressure different from that of the liquid in the microspherical body, the damage of the microspherical body is prevented by sequentially sucking a gas, a solution exhibiting an osmotic pressure that does not damage the microspherical body in the liquid to be dispensed and not having a bad effect on the measurement, the gas, and the liquid to be dispensed in a pipette the inside of which is filled with a liquid, because the pipette inside wall is substituted with the solution having an osmotic pressure that does not damage the microspherical body.

An optical amplifier of the present invention comprises: first and second optical amplifying sections connected in series to each other between an input port and an output port; a first variable optical attenuator arranged on a former stage of the first optical amplifying section; a second variable optical attenuator arranged between the first and second optical amplifying sections; an optical amplification control section that controls the first and second optical amplifying sections; and an optical attenuation control section that controls the first and second variable optical attenuators. The optical amplification control section controls each of the optical amplifying sections so that a gain of the entirety of the optical amplifier is held constant, and the optical attenuation control section controls attenuation amounts of the variable optical attenuators so that monitor values of the output powers from the variable optical attenuators approximate the same value, provided that a value of the sum of the attenuation amounts of the variable optical attenuators decided according to the signal light input power per one wavelength of a WDM light is held constant. As a result, it becomes possible to provide at a low cost the optical amplifier capable of achieving flat output wavelength characteristics and the favorable NF, irrespective of the signal light input power per one wavelength of the WDM light and the number of wavelengths thereof.

An optical apparatus of the invention has a fusion splice portion where respective ends of two optical fibers each having a core, a cladding, and a UV coat portion provided on the outside of the cladding are fusion spliced, and a re-coat portion which re-coats a portion where the UV coat portion is removed in the vicinity of the fusion splice portion is formed using a material capable of absorbing light radiated from the fusion splice portion. As a result light which is radiated from the fusion splice portion can be reliably prevented from coupling into another optical fiber adjacent to an outside of the re-coat portion.
