Japan-Canada Joint Research Program "Developing A Combined Process for Complete Conversion"

该研究计划的目的是通过日本和加拿大研究人员的合作开发新的高效煤转化工艺。通过这个项目，我们也期待着在日本和加拿大之间建立更加密切和可靠的合作关系，特别是在科学技术领域。今年是4年计划的最后一年。9月23日至10月3日，包括4名行业人士在内的10名研究人员访问了加拿大。此次访问的主要目的是参加9月23日至25日在不列颠哥伦比亚省大学举行的“日本-加拿大煤炭研讨会”。本次会议共发表论文23篇，其中日方论文9篇。介绍了日本文部省煤炭研究项目，以及在该项目下开展的热解、超临界流体萃取和脱硫等方面的研究进展，并介绍了两国的煤气化项目。 关于我们 S.还举行了一次会议，讨论这一联合方案的成果和未来。加拿大方面渴望继续开展一些联合项目，以进一步合作。日本方面同意加拿大的建议，目前正准备申请1992财政年度的赠款。日本代表在出席研讨会后参观了阿尔伯塔研究理事会（ARC）、Luscar Sterco有限公司、滑铁卢大学和CANMET。在ARC和CANMET期间，举行了煤炭研讨会，日本和加拿大的与会者作了2至3次发言。研讨会结束后，图尔斯参观了研究设施。在Luscar Sterco有限公司，我们有机会看到了煤谷煤矿的两个露天矿坑。这里生产的煤炭大部分出口到日本用于冶金用途。这次访问对评估联合项目的成果和促进未来的合作是富有成果的。这样，我们就可以顺利地完成四年的研究计划。研究结果汇总在一份报告中，并分发给所有参与者、相关煤炭研究人员和政府。加拿大目前正在为建立所谓的整体煤气化联合循环（IGCC）发电系统做出巨大努力。从基础和实际的角度来看，两国都要求在煤转化技术的发展方面进一步合作。我们希望一个新的联合研究计划将很快开始在4年的研究计划的丰硕成果。少

The purposes of this research program was to develop new and highly effective coal conversion processes through cooperations of Japanese and Canadian researchers. Through this program we were also expecting to build more intimate and reliable cooperative relationships between Japan and Canada especially in the field of science and technology.This year was the final year of 4-year program. Then 10 researchers including 4 industry people visited Canada from Sep. 23 to Oct. 3. The main purpose of this visit was to attend the "Japan-Canada Coal Symposium" which was held on Sep. 23-25 at the University of British Columbia. In this symposium 23 papers, 9 of which were from Japanese side, were presented. Those papers covered the Monbusho supported coal research programs in Japan, Progresses in the researches on pyrolysis, supercritical fluid extraction and desulphurization which were performed under this research program, and the introduction of coal gasification projects in the both countrie … More s. A meeting was also held to discuss the outcome and the future of this joint program. The Canadian side was eager to continue some joint program to further cooperations. The Japanese side agreed to the Canadian proposal, and is now preparing to apply the Monbusho for the grant of 1992 fiscal year.After attending the symposium Japanese participants visited the Alberta Research Council (ARC), Luscar Sterco Ltd., University of Waterloo, and CANMET. At ARC and CANMET coal seminars were held, in which both Japanese and Canadian participants made 2 to 3 presentations. Tours to research facilities followed the seminars. At Luscar Sterco Ltd. We had the opportunity to see two open-cut pits of the Coal Valley mine. A large part of the coals produced here are exported to Japan for metallurgical use.The visit was fruiteful to assess the results of the joint program, and to foster future cooperations. Thus we could successfully finish the 4-year research program. The results were summarized in a report, and were distributed to all the participants, related coal researchers, and the governments.Canada is now making efforts of great deal for establishing the so-called Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power generation system. Further cooperations are requested from both countries on the development of coal conversion technologies from both fundamental and practical view points. We hope a new joint research program will start soon on the fruitful results of the 4-year research program. Less
