Separation Systems Engineering Laboratory
Helping out behind the scenes
Operations that separate objects are used in a variety of fields, such as liquor distillation, fuel cells and water purifiers. Membranes are one of the things that assist these separation technologies. Our laboratory aims to develop membranes to improve the efficiency of separations. Separating things requires the creation of holes that are smaller than a nanometer. We are working hard every day to create intricate technologies that will contribute to the efficient use of water and energy resources.

For Society
We should not expect that clean water will always be available naturally. When it is not, the simple water treatment membrane our laboratory developed can give people clean water anytime and anywhere.
Research Themes
- Development of silica membranes for hydrogen production equipment
- Development of ceramic membranes to make distillation columns more efficient
- Development of composite ceramic membranes for water treatment
