Treating waste as “artificial resources” Achieving environment friendly resource recycling
Aiming for construction of a resource-recycling society and conservation of the global environment
This Department consists of six specialties, including environmental protection engineering, resource recycling engineering, material process engineering, development environment engineering, earth crust information engineering, and resources science. The graduate school adds petrology and geology, and conducts education and research into resource, environment, and energy issues from a global perspective that extends even to the origins of the planet. This covers a wide variety of subjects, starting with technologies related to resource use and recycling, such as the collection of various resources, separation and refining, recycling and appropriate disposal. Studies extend to enabling the sustainability of such systems, preservation of the air, water, and forest environments needed to live prosperous lives in harmony with the natural environment, improvement of work environments, environmentally-friendly recycling, development of environmentally-friendly materials, appropriate disposal of waste, development of energy with a low environmental load, protection of the earth crust environmental preservation, natural disasters and preventing them through forecasting, circulation of earth and solar system material, and analysis of resource formation processes. Comprehensive coverage of such a broad range of knowledge and experience builds the ability to discover and resolve new problems related to environmental conservation and resource recycling.
