Asian Reference Catalyst for Environmental Protection

亚洲催化剂是为亚洲国家中研究催化和催化剂的科学家而建立的，并分布到韩国、台湾和泰国。使用亚洲催化剂的催化剂研究在韩国表现突出，而在台湾则表现不佳。我们期待在这类研究活动中继续努力。我们接待了来自韩国和台湾的客座调查人员，以交流有关环境催化剂开发的信息。他们在每个国家都有不同的研究条件。韩国的研究人员报道了具有超强酸性的催化剂，台湾的研究人员对开发新型的脱硫和光降解催化剂很感兴趣。我们在这些报告的基础上进行了讨论。二氧化钛样品应该在不久的将来分发。另一方面，我们参加了在韩国、台湾和泰国举行的研讨会。最突出的活动是在韩国举行的，研究水平几乎与日本一样高。在台湾，有一小群人在研究催化剂，尽管有些实验做得很好。另一方面，泰国没有很强的催化剂调查背景。然而，我们有来自这些国家的年轻科学家的许多问题，讨论是富有成效的。基于亚洲催化剂的合作学习是一种独特的、有效的国际学习方式，因为不仅提供了信息(软件)，而且催化剂(硬件)的样本也是国际通用的。两年的资金是不够的，还需要进一步的持续努力。

Asian catalyst was established for the scientist of studying catalysis and catalysts among Asian countries, and these were distributed to Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The activity of catalyst research using the Asia catalyst was outstanding in Korea, however not enough in Taiwan. Continuous effort in this kind of research activity is highly anticipated.We received guest investigators from Korea and Taiwan in order to exchange information about the development of environmental catalysts. They have different conditions for research in each country. Researchers from Korea reported the catalyst with the super acidity, and those of Taiwan had much interest in the development of a new type catalyst for de-sulfurization and photodegradation. We had discussion based on these reports. Titania sample should be distributed in near future.On the other hand, we participated in the symposium held in Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The most prominent activity was held in Korea, and the research level is almost as high as in Japan. In Taiwan, there is a small group for the catalyst study, though some of the experiments were made excellently. On the other hand, Thailand do not have a strong background for the catalyst investigation. However, we had many questions from young scientists of these countries, and discussion was fruitful. We can have a positive anticipate that the activity of catalyst research will progress in these countries.The cooperative study based on the Asia Catalyst is so unique and an effective way of international study, because not only information (software) is provided, but also the sample of catalyst (hardware) is commonly used internationally. Two years fund is not enough, and further continuous effort will be necessary.
