The Department of Applied Chemistry has provided
the education and a substantial programs of researches for synthesis, characterization,
and utilization of novel chemical materials. The education program of the
I)epartment provides students extensive knowledge on fundamental and applied
chemistry to cope with the problems to solve environmental and energy issues
in the 21st century.
The Department provides students fundamentals including
physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and biochemistry.
Students then may take advanced lectures, such as materials chemistry,
environmental chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, three programs
of laboratory work, and seminars.
Materials Chemistry DivisionAnalysis and design of chemical reactors. Photochemical reactions for organic synthesis and environmental applications. Inorganic syntheses for layered and mesostructured solids. I)evelopmenl of catalysts for depollution and energy conservation. Molecular dynamics approach of macromolecular structure.Environmental Chemistry DivistionNovel synthetic strategy of biologically active compounds. Conversion of biomass to functional and industrial materials. Development of selective biomass-derived adsorbents for harmful metals. Reaction engineering concerning solvent extraction of precious metals.Biochemistry DivisionScreening of microorganism capable of producing used novel biomaterials. Production of sweetenings using hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymatic synthesis of oligosacchirides by sugar-transferring enzymes. Bioreactors and development of biotechnology using recombinant DNA.Many of our reserch works achieved in cooperation with the Materials Resesreh Center, Cooperative Research Center, Radioisotope Center, and/or Gene Research Center of the University.
