I am studying hydrogen production. In order to realize hydrogen society, reduction of hydrogen production cost is a challenge today. So we focused attention on the chemical looping process. Calcium ferrite is immobilized in a reactor and hydrogen production by oxidation reduction by gas makes it possible to achieve high efficiency. In this research, we manufacture gas switching hydrogen production equipment, when reducing calcium ferrite, methane gas flows in, and when calcium ferrite is oxidized, water vapor is flowed in. I’m evaluating hydrogen production amount.

In the course of the study on LiBr -H2O absorption heat pump, we found a method to generate LiBr crystal fine-particle slurry in a supersaturated state. We evaluated the performance in order to take advantage of the LiBr crystal fine-particle slurry as a heat storage medium. LiBr crystal fine-particle slurry had a very high thermal storage density than LiBr solution. LiBr crystal fine-particle slurry was found to have a large water vapor absorption rates by dissolving crystals when absorbing water vapor.

With recent energy problems and environmental problems, we are aiming to realize a society using hydrogen energy. However, reality is that it is costly because the infrastructure for supplying hydrogen is not prepared. Therefore, methane attracts attention, because supply infrastructure is prepared, and easy-to-handle. In this research, we are aiming at high efficiency of methane synthesis using microwave plasma which showed various applications such as decomposition of tar and synthesis of carbon nanomaterials.

The main research is about plasma technology. Plasma technology in the spouted bed, that with several advantages of the high transfer rate of heat and mass, generation of high bulk temperature efficiently. The medicine granulation process in a spouted bed with plasma treatment will enhance the mix between the pharmaceutical additives and drug powder, that can be called as plasma pharmaceuticals process. However, there was no plasma reactor in the field of pharmaceuticals. The effect of the processing conditions on the particle surface characteristic will be investigated, to the continuously pharmaceutical device and process will be designed in the study.

The cement industry is a highly energy consuming industry, and energy saving is required. For energy conservation, it is effective to lower the clinker firing temperature as much as possible, but if the temperature is too low, quality deterioration will occur. Accordingly, highly accurate temperature measurement of clinker during firing is required, but since clinker dust floating in the furnace has a large influence on measurement accuracy, establishment of a method for correcting the influence of dust is required. Therefore, in this study, we measured the radiation properties of cement clinker dust particle group by spectroscopic measurement and investigated radiation absorption and scattering characteristics.

From finiteness of the issue of with the CO2 global warming andthe fossil fuel,the energy utilization becomes more and more important in future. By the exhaust heat collection use, utilization ofthe warm water exhaust heat becomes the important problem inparticlar. Therefore I paid my attention to the absorption-type heat pump which could reuse low temprerature warm water exhaust heat. In this study, Ianalyze an absorption-type heat pump theoretically and am intended that I do it with the guidance of the study of the heigher-performance absorption type heat pump.

In the present, recycling utilization of unused resources is needed to reduce consumption of fossil fuel and CO2 emission. Our aim is to use low rank carbonaceous resources such as low rank biomass and waste material with thermal treatments that are pyrolysis and gasification. We research the new technical development about co-utilization of biomass and coal. And evaluating the char produced by chemical reaction under various conditions by changing temperature, pressure and atmosphere.

Development of high-efficient methane fermented technology by hydrothermal treatmentDisposal of garbage by methane fermented technology is watched in recent years. But, the present technology is not still efficient. There is a way of "hydrothermal treatment" as the means of the efficiency. "Hydrothermal treatment" is the preprocessing technology by hydrolytic action of water of high temperature and high pressure. This study clear how the influences of the hydrothermal treatment on efficiency of the methane fermentation.

Dryness experiment of mud mixed siccative Using sewage mud as the energy is expected. However, sewage mud has more than 80% water, and need a huge energy and the costs to dry. To promote drying rate is connect to reduce energy consumption. Sewage mud Added siccative has many cracks on it’s surface and evaporation of water becomes early. But optimum hasn’t been cleared. So, in this research, I change the conditions. For example dry condition, size, amount of the siccative and temperature. And consider what’s the best condition of dry.
