講演題目世界の環境・食料問題に貢献する化学システム工学: 「低炭素・食料増産型のグリーンケミカル生産システム」の設計から社会実装まで
講演者小原 聡
東京大学未来ビジョン研究センター 特任准教授
概要 サトウキビを原料としたグリーンケミカル生産は,農業や食料生産の持続性,土地利用,温室効果ガス排出削減をはじめとする脱炭素化等の社会的課題が密接に関係している。これらの社会的課題に対して,個別の産業(農業,食品産業,エネルギー産業,化学産業)の技術開発で乗り越えるのは不可能であり,農業・工業の垣根を取り払った農工融合型プロセスの設計と社会実装が必要となる。本セミナーでは,革新的技術(農業側:品種改良による多収性サトウキビ開発,工業側:砂糖回収率を高めるバイオエタノール生産技術「逆転生産プロセス」)の開発を事例として取り上げ,その設計思想から,技術開発,評価,社会実装までの取り組みを紹介し,農業やバイオプロセス分野への化学システム工学の可能性について議論する。

工学部3号館6C06号室
講演題目Data-driven models for advanced process engineering
講演者Dr. Bernardo Castro-Dominguez
Assistant Professor
University of Bath, UK
概要The use of data-driven models for chemical applications has accelerated due to its success stories in materials discovery, healthcare, and smart manufacturing. In this seminar, we will describe how chemoinformatics translates the properties of molecules into a digital format for data analysis. In particular, how two-dimensional images of chemical structures can be used as molecular representations. These methods were employed in both classification and regression tasks, and used to predict the solubility of pharmaceuticals, co-crystallization and amorphisation events in mechanochemical settings, and the prediction of crystal morphologies. Beyond images, we will briefly discuss the use of chemometrics used for in-line characterization and process optimization. As case study, Density Functional Theory was used to generate theoretical infrared spectra of various polymers, which then were correlated to a property (e.g. melting point). These spectra-to-property datasets were used to create data-driven models and predict the property of untested ones. All this work follows the vision of developing "agnostic-to-feedstock" processes.

講演題目Partial Interzeolite Transformation for the Fabrication of Superior Catalysts for the Conversion of Bulky Molecules
講演者Javier García-Martínez

概要nterzeolite transformation has been used to produce a novel family of hierarchical catalysts featuring excellent textural properties, strong acidity, and superior catalytic performance for the Friedel−Crafts alkylation of indole with benzhydrol, the Claisen−Schmidt condensation of benzaldehyde and hydroxyacetophenone, and the cracking of polystyrene [1].
Intermediate solids of the FAU interzeolite transformation into BEA display both increased accessibility due to the development of mesoporosity and strong acidity caused by the presence of ultrasmall crystals or zeolitic fragments in their structure. [2]
During the presentation, I will describe a new strategy for the synthesis of superior hierarchical catalysts, whose properties evolve during interzeolite transformation. They are composed of zeolitic fragments and display improved accessibility.
Because of these features, they effectively catalyze reactions involving large molecules.
We realized this strategy for the interconversion of FAU into BEA. Additionally, we used quaternary ammonium surfactants to develop well-defined mesoporosity in the intermediates.
By stopping the interconversion of FAU into BEA at different times, we were able to produce Interzeolite Transformation Intermediates (ITIs) showing optimized catalytic performance.
An important advantage of this strategy is that the physicochemical properties and, therefore the catalytic performance of the hierarchical catalysts can be finely tuned by simply stopping the interzeolite transformation at different times.
This creates countless opportunities for the development of hierarchical catalysts [3] with optimized properties and superior catalytic performance for those reactions in which zeolites present significant diffusion limitations.
Additionally, I will present a new approach we have developed for the fabrication of superior catalytic materials made out of building units from different zeolite structures by partial interzeolite conversion using a long chain quaternary amine, which acts both as a structure directing agent (SDA) and porogen (surfactant).
This method allows to control the amount of the different zeolitic building units in the final material and consequently to optimize its catalytic performance.
We realized this for the cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene. Hybrid zeolites yielded a five-hold increase to the desired product at constant conversion over the commercial USY, CBV780, and a 7-fold increase in the conversion of this bulky molecule at constant selectivity over the MFI zeolite

場所
工学部5号館51号室
講演題目Catalyst Development for CO2 hydrogenation to C1 oxygenates
講演者Prof. Ning Yan
Dean’s Chair Associate Professor,

概要This talk will mainly introduce our recent efforts in developing improved methanol synthesis catalyst from CO2. In the first work, we introduced an atomic Pd-promoted ZnZrOx solid solution catalyst, which shows enhanced rate of methanol and CO production compared to bare ZnZrOx. Up to 0.8 at.% Pd can be atomically dispersed in ZnZrOx, leading to more oxygen vacancies on the mixed oxide that foster methanol production. In the second work, we developed a strategy to promote ZnZrOx catalyst by incorporating hydrogen activation and delivery functions through optimized integration of ZnZrOx and Pd supported on
carbon nanotube (Pd/CNT). In CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, Pd/CNT+ZnZrOx exhibits drastically boosted activity and excellent stability over 600 h on steam test, showing potential for practical implementation. Lastly, we will briefly touch upon CO2 hydrogenation to formate, and a new concept “Green Chemical Farming” to convert CO2 to food components involving catalytic steps.

第382回化学システム工学専攻公開セミナー PSE tools and methodologies for a carbon efficient food industry: Lessons from New Zealand

日時

場所
Zoomにて開催
https://u-tokyo-ac-jp.zoom.us/j/84344413976?pwd=TnA1dmtOWkdIeFFzZVB0S2JmaFVF UT09
講演題目PSE tools and methodologies for a carbon efficient food industry: Lessons from New Zealand
講演者Dr. Isuru Udugama
Senior Lecturer, University of Waikato
概要The Food industry in New Zealand faces two main challenges. Firstly, the government of New Zealand has set an ambitious goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This means conventional food processing plants (dairy, meat, fruit etc..) that currently operate using natural gas (and until recently coal) must be retrofitted to run on “non-carbon” sources. Secondly, the New Zealand industry has identified that environmental concerns, climate change and changes in societal perceptions mean the current method of global agriculture and food is ripe for disruption.
This seminar will provide the following specific examples related to the decarbonisation of current food industries. A cream cheese production process will be used to illustrate the need to “re-think” traditional plant operations concepts to account for added constraints and changes in priorities that can be brought on by decarbonisation. A multi-layered modelling concept is presented as a solution to manage the complex and multi-faceted decisions that involve the simultaneous consideration of shifting consumer behaviour, circular production goals, food safety and sensory quality demands.
This seminar will provide the following specific examples related to the development of future food industries. A LCA study will be presented on New Zealand’s main export which is powdered milk and the supposedly more carbon-friendly “precision fermented milk”. This will be followed by the discussion of a multi-scaled modelling concept to model, understand and scale up highly-complex precision fermentation processes that are central to creating key proteins that are found in milk at competitive prices at scale.

講演題目Hybrid 2D-Material’s heterostructures for green H2 generation
講演者Praveen Kumar
Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India
概要Photoelectrochemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen has been accepted as a sustainable way to utilize solar energy. Among several photoactive materials, 2D-Materials connected via van der Waals forces have gained tremendous attention as competent material for PEC HER as the most stable 2H phase (of MoS2) possesses good catalytic property comparable to noble metals, suitable band edge position, appropriate energy bandgap, and photochemical stability. Having all these salient features, 2D materials are still not being utilized to their maximum possibility for PEC HER due to the lack of an alternative way of basal plane activation. Further, growing vertical heterostructures of these 2D-materials on foreign substrates like GaN, Si is also one of the prime concerns to increase the active surface area and promote efficient charge separation & transport. I will also discuss our recent work on the spin manipulated photoelectrochemical water splitting using Janus 2D materials. In my talk, I will address some of these issues and also will discuss related successful recent innovations in our laboratory.

講演者Sara Badr
東京大学大学院工学系研究科化学システム工学専攻 特任助教
概要The rise of data-driven tools is opening new doors for process systems engineering applications in terms of advancing process understanding and overcoming modelling obstacles. This can be especially beneficial for emerging technologies, where optimal design and the anticipation of operational difficulties can lead to faster and less costly implementation. Data-driven applications, however, often face challenges in terms of available data quantity and quality. Hybrid modelling platforms aim to overcome the challenges faced by both mechanistic and data-driven approaches and to capitalize on their combined strengths. In this talk, I will give examples of data-driven applications in the fields of carbon capture, and advanced biopharmaceutical manufacturing. I will also discuss the challenges facing the processing of industrial data and methods to maximize its potential usefulness. The role of hybrid models will also be discussed with examples of potential problem architectures and implementations.

https://www.wrhi.iir.titech.ac.jp/en/people/gies-hermann/#tab-01
概要Layered precursors have been used successfully for the “construction” of new porous silicate frameworks. Whether they occurred in hydrous layered silicates or as subunits in framework silicates, synthesis strategies have been developed to make use of the prearranged entity and build new 3-dimensional framework structures. Whether topotactic condensation, or ADOR, or IEZ are applied, new materials might be obtained. The limit, however, is the availability of appropriate precursor species. In the seminar I will show that there are new precursors available and first experiments proofed that new porous framework can be obtained.
