Purpose and Contents of Research
Considering environmental problems that human society and living systems on earth encounter, it is necessary to realize a sustainable society with high levels of material recycling. We attempt to design environmentally friendly processes for materials fabrication.
¡¡ For example, for material fabrication processes consuming huge amounts of energy and natural resources, we pursue energy efficiency and methods for conserving resources and develop technologies for maintaining our environment by converting harmless wastes, reusing them, and fabricating sub-products. We also attempt to develop new fabrication processes for materials from this point of view.
The current research projects are as follows:
£±¡¢Environmental Technologies using electromagnetic forces
- Removal of inclusion particles from liquid metal using electromagnetic force
- Separation of metal wastes using moving magnetic field
- Improvement of reaction efficiency of metals using electromagnetic stirring with rotation and moving field
- Fundamental studies on microwave processing of BF slags
- Fundamental studies on separation process using high magnetic field
£²¡¢ Environmental Technologies by analysis of particle behaviors in liquid
- Behavior of suspended particles in turbulent shear flow for the purpose of purifying waste water
- Removal of suspended particles in liquid by air bubbling
- Coagulation of dust particles in steel making prosess and recycling of zinc
3¡¢Design of environmentally friendly materials fabrication processes
- Fabrication of Al based functionally graded materials using electromagnetic forces
- Efficient wet etching process of Cu film for electronic circuit
- Fabrication of (Al-alloy)/Al2O3 composite materials using Al scrap
Experimental Apparatus
