The enhancement of
recycle-oriented industry, hereinafter defined as NEWASTE Business or
Resources from Waste, becomes serious and critical issues from the view of
securing food and renewable energy on the long run under explosive population
growth in the world. In this unit, we focus on the innovative Subcritical
Water Technology, which enables high-speed hydrolysis coupled with
high-temperature/pressure (around 200℃/20 ATM) steam injection, and conduct
feasibility study toward the NEWASTE Business creation. In addition, we
intend to evaluate the capability of this technology to realize
river-basin-based sustainable development in the future. ___ Our specific
research topics are quite holistic as follows: (1) functional compost
production, (2) high-efficiency methane fermentation, (3) high-quality
wood-based cattle feed production, (4) nano-cellulose
fiber refinery and further (5) decontamination of hazardous waste polluted by
dioxin and heavy metals, etc. |
