Aihara Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores hydrogen, gas separation, and heat recovery through chemical engineering.

AboutAbout the lab
Studying hydrogen, separation membranes, and heat recovery.
The Aihara Lab studies processes involved in hydrogen production, gas separation, and heat recovery from the perspectives of chemical energy engineering, reaction engineering, and separation engineering.
Its research keywords also include system integration and holistic analysis.
Separation membranes that can be used under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, and mechanisms that use solid reactants to separate substances or recover heat, appear in the lab's research history and in its themes for joint research.
Key terms
- Separation membrane
- A membrane that separates components of a mixture, such as mixed gases, by selectively letting specific ones pass through
- Water electrolysis
- A method of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current through it
- Reaction engineering
- A field that studies the conditions and design needed to carry out chemical reactions efficiently in equipment
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies processes such as hydrogen production, the separation of mixed gases, and heat recovery from the perspective of chemical energy engineering. Its research history includes separation membranes that can be used under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions and processes that use solid reactants.
*Illustrative imageHydrogen production processes
The lab lists hydrogen production processes in its research history. In 2017, it gave a presentation on hydrogen production, including water electrolysis, at a report session of the World Hydrogen Technologies Convention.
*Illustrative imageGas separation and heat recovery using solid reactants
The lab lists research on gas separation and heat recovery using inorganic porous reactants in its research history. Its themes for joint research also include substance separation or energy recovery processes that use solid reactants.
*Illustrative imageSeparation membranes for high temperature and high pressure
The lab lists in its research history the development of separation membrane modules that can be used under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, and the investigation of their ability to selectively separate specific gases. Its themes for joint research also include research on inorganic separation membranes with selective permeability.
