Recycling, refining and solidification processes of materials are important to sustain high efficiency process for manufacturing products. Each material separation process is governed by many chemical and thermophysical properties of materials and interfaces among materials. "Fusion of materials processing research and physicochemical property research" is our motto for realizing sustainable society.
Functions of the materials should be clarified from micromechanism of each phenomenon to develop high efficiency processes for materials separation as well as crystal growth by means of in-situ observation and measurements especially at high temperature.
