The lab explores chemical engineering for making “things” at factory scale.
AboutAbout the lab
Searching for new technologies to make “things”
The Shiyono Lab studies, from the standpoint of chemical engineering, the principles and technologies for making “things” at factory scale.
Half of the research involves chemical reactions, and the other half deals with methods of preparing emulsions and how two fluids flow in microchannels.
There are two main research themes: developing processes that combine mass transfer and reaction operations, and fluid engineering studies of the equipment used in those operations.
Key terms
- Chemical engineering
- A field of study concerned with developing the principles and technologies for making “things” at factory scale
- Emulsion
- A state in which one of two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, is dispersed as fine droplets in the other
- Microchannel
- An extremely narrow channel for liquids, also called a fine channel. How liquids flow inside it is the subject of the research
ResearchResearch themes
Substances that are easy to synthesize in a beaker in the laboratory become difficult to make in large quantities in large equipment. The lab develops processes that combine mass transfer and reaction, and studies the flow inside the equipment used in them.
*Illustrative imageSynthesis processes for fine particles
The lab synthesizes fine particles of conductive polymers using the tiny droplets of a w/o emulsion as the reaction site. It also works on synthesizing zinc oxide fine particles by solvent extraction and hydrothermal synthesis.
*Illustrative imageHydrogen storage systems
The lab studies hydrogen storage systems based on chemical hydrides. It deals with the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane using platinum catalysts supported on carbon.
*Illustrative imageAgitation, mixing, and emulsion preparation
The lab studies agitation and mixing operations in heterogeneous systems. Specifically, it works on preparing emulsions by the spray emulsification method.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of flow in microchannels
The lab investigates flow inside microchannels. It analyzes how the two-phase flow of oil and water behaves in a Y-shaped microchannel.
