Proceeding of the Workshop on "Environmental Conservation Technology; Beautiful earth for future"

Kojima, Takuji

The R&D on environmental conservation/purification technologies is energetically carried out in many research institutes and industries in parallel with that on monitoring technology to search pollution level. The application of ionizing radiations is among the prosperous ones to enable us to remove/purify pollutants even at extremely low concentration which is not covered by conventional technologies. The JAEA, a research core for application of quantum beams, organized "The workshop on environmental conservation technologies -Beautiful earth for future-", to seek the direction of future research measures reviewing the present status of R&Ds on environmental conservation. This proceeding summarizes the presentation on material development, purification technologies, and analysis technologies, needs and application, to provide discussion on future environmental conservation measures, on the basis of pollutant regulation, developments of purification materials and decomposition/removal technology using ionizing radiations.
