研究分野 high temperature materials processing, physical chemistry, pyrometallurgy, materials recycling, environmental-friendly materials processing

Research

My major research areas are the fundamental study and the development of high temperature materials processing. The materials processing must be continuously developed to meet the demand of materials with high quality, high production efficiency and low environmental impact from the society. In addition, the recent drastic economic growth of developing countries causes the large consumption of materials, and thus the materials supply via recycling processes is also being important.
My main research activities for high temperature materials processing and recycling processes are,
a) Development of advanced ironmaking and steelmaking processes with low energy consumption
b) Kinetics of chemical reactions between liquid metals, oxides and gases with the utilization of isotope exchange reactions
c) Control of inclusions in liquid and solid state steels for the high quality steel production
d) Development of metal recycling processes by the use of selective chlorination and oxidation reactions
e) Estimation of physicochemical properties of ionic melts by the molecular dynamics simulation
f) Development of recovery systems of unused thermal and chemical energies in metal production processes
