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

该研究项目的目的是通过日本和加拿大研究人员的合作，开发新的高效煤炭转化工艺。通过这一计划，我们也期待着在日本和加拿大之间建立更密切和可靠的合作关系，特别是在科学技术领域。今年是为期4年的计划的最后一年。随后，包括4名业内人士在内的10名研究人员于9月23日至10月3日访问了加拿大。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大学举行的“日本-加拿大煤炭研讨会”。本次研讨会共发表论文23篇，其中日方论文9篇。这些论文包括日本文部省支持的煤炭研究计划，在该研究计划下进行的热解、超临界流体萃取和脱硫研究的进展，以及两国…煤气化项目的介绍更多的S。还举行了会议，讨论这一联合计划的结果和未来。加拿大方面渴望继续一些联合计划，以进一步合作。日方同意了加方的建议，目前正准备申请1992财年的文部省拨款。日方与会者在参加研讨会后参观了艾伯塔省研究委员会(ARC)、Luscar sterco Ltd.、滑铁卢大学和CANMET。在ARC和CANMET举办了煤炭研讨会，日本和加拿大的与会者都作了2至3次发言。研讨会结束后，参观了研究设施。在Luscar sterco Ltd.，我们有机会看到了煤谷煤矿的两个露天矿坑。这里生产的大部分煤炭出口到日本用于冶金用途。访问富有成果地评估了联合计划的结果，并促进了未来的合作。这样，我们就可以顺利地完成为期4年的研究计划。结果汇总在一份报告中，并分发给所有参与者、相关的煤炭研究人员和政府。加拿大目前正在为建立所谓的一体化气化联合循环(IGCC)发电系统做出巨大努力。从根本和实际两个角度要求两国在煤炭转化技术的发展方面进行进一步的合作。我们希望在四年研究计划的丰硕成果的基础上，尽快启动新的联合研究计划。较少

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
