I'MSEP proposes a new ammonia synthesis method that directly synthesizes ammonia from water and nitrogen through electrolysis at atmospheric pressure. If the electrolysis synthesis device can be realized, the electrical energy required to produce 1 ton of ammonia will be about 26 GJ or less, surpassing the current Haber-Bosch process. In addition to the possibility of being manufactured with low energy consumption without relying on fossil resources, the freedom to choose the source of electrical energy used, such as solar, geothermal, hydro, and wind power, presents a significant advantage when considering the future need for earth-symbiotic ammonia production and its scale expansion. [Features] ■ Proposes an atmospheric pressure ammonia electrolysis synthesis method ■ Potential for lower energy consumption compared to the Haber-Bosch process *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The plasma-induced cathodic electrolysis method, which is one of the plasma-induced electrolysis methods, reduces metal ions in molten salts through electrolysis utilizing the cathodic discharge phenomenon, thereby forming metal nanoparticles in the molten salts. Using this method, we have successfully formed nanoparticles of metals and various alloys. Furthermore, to enable the miniaturization and uniformity of the formed metal nanoparticles, as well as continuous production, we are developing an electrolysis method that utilizes a rotating disk. With the practical application of plasma-induced electrolysis, we believe we can meet the future demands for further particle miniaturization and significantly contribute to the continuous development of the nanoparticle market through stabilization and cost reduction of nanoparticle supply. [Features] - Development of an electrolysis method utilizing a rotating disk - Advancing the development of applied technologies, such as directly forming metal nanoparticles by removing oxygen from metal oxide powders *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

By utilizing the knowledge and know-how possessed by IMSEP, it is possible to establish a selective recovery process for rare earth metals from neodymium magnets solely through molten salt electrolysis without the use of solvents. If necessary, the alloy formed at the cathode can be reused as an anode, and by repeating the processes of selective anodic dissolution and selective cathodic deposition (alloying), the separation efficiency for each rare earth element can be enhanced. Ultimately, it becomes possible to separate and recover rare earth metals such as neodymium and dysprosium contained in neodymium magnets by element. Such metal recycling technology can be applied not only to neodymium magnets but also to various types of scrap containing multiple valuable metals, enabling the separation and recovery of valuable metal elements. This can significantly contribute to the development of the recycling-related field. 【Features】 ■ A selective recovery process for rare earth metals from neodymium magnets can be established solely through molten salt electrolysis without the use of solvents. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At IMSEP, we have developed a "dense carbon plating technology" that forms a dense and adherent carbon plating film on the material surface through electrolysis in molten salt. As an example, by utilizing the anodic oxidation reaction of carbide ions in molten salt, a very dense carbon film can be obtained on the anodic surface of the treated material. This dense carbon plating film has sufficient hardness as a conductive carbon film and exhibits superior adhesion compared to DLC. Additionally, since it is composed of binder-free pure carbon, it is characterized by very high corrosion resistance. 【Features】 ■ Development of dense carbon plating technology ■ Sufficient hardness as a conductive carbon film ■ Superior adhesion compared to DLC ■ Very high corrosion resistance *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
