Miki-Saito Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab works on solving problems in metal smelting processes and making them more energy-efficient.
AboutAbout the lab
Making the smelting of familiar metals more energy-efficient.
The Miki-Saito Lab studies the smelting processes of metals, the most familiar materials in everyday life, with the aim of solving the various problems that arise in those processes.
The steel process requires an enormous amount of energy, most of which is used in the blast furnace process that produces molten iron from iron ore.
The lab researches ways to produce metals with less energy.
The faculty introductions list keywords such as high-purity refining of metals, resource recycling, and the physical properties of high-temperature melts.
Key terms
- Smelting
- The process of extracting metal from ore and removing impurities to obtain the metal
- Blast furnace process
- The process of producing molten iron from iron ore. It consumes especially large amounts of energy within the steel process
- High-purity refining
- Removing impurities from a metal to raise its purity
- Physical properties of high-temperature melts
- The properties of liquids, such as molten metals, at high temperatures
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to solve the various problems that arise in metal smelting processes, the lab researches ways to produce metals with less energy. One of the problems cited is that the steel process requires an enormous amount of energy.
