GREETING

Professor Keiko SASAKI

Creation of environment-friendly technology that connects resources and materials

As the closest comprehensive engineering engineers who can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, we hope to keep active for the creation of environment-friendly technology that connects resources and materials to the world.

RESEARCH SUBJECTS

We are studying not only natural earth resources but also ground resources such as urban mine waste.　In addition to separating and refining usable resources with an innovative approach, we are researching technologies for repairing environmental pollution (water and soil pollution) associated with mining.

RESEARCH THEMES

RESEARCH/1

Development of next-generation environmental purification materialsNanogeoscience for

Environmental purification materials:

to reduce Radionuclides from a nuclear power plant accident, fly ash emitted from thermal power generation, and photocatalyst that recovers environmental pollutants mixed in the underground water of the mine trace, etc.

RESEARCH/2

Biorefining of mineral and urban mines / Biotreatment of metal contaminated waterBio-mining for

Biomining technology：

Using microorganisms, recovering only useful parts from difficult-to-treat natural minerals / purifying arsenic-containing waste water in copper mines / recovering precious metals, base metals, rare metals, etc. from waste substrates in urban mines.

RESEARCH/3

Development of advanced resource processing technologyMineral Processing & Recycling for

Separation / Refining technology：

In order to form a sustainable recycling-oriented society, it is necessary to separate and recover only useful resources from difficult-to-treat natural minerals and wastes.
