It
becomes commonly recognized that
the natural resources are finite.
The mission of Chemical Resources
Laboratory is to carry out a research
to improve the human life without
contaminating the environments through
the sophisticated utilization of
the natural resources on the earth.
The time when the mass-production
and the mass-consumption are praised
has passed and the efficient use
and recycle of natural resources
become an urgent issue.
Chemical Resources Laboratory
has been established in 1937 affiliated
to Tokyo Institute of Technology
anticipating a demand of such an
age and grown through the research
on theory and application of the
chemical utilization technologies
of natural resources.
At the present,
Chemical Resources Laboratory has
13 divisions, 1 research
installation covering wide range
of areas from basic to applied
or developmental research besides
common facilities and an administrative
office. The faculties of Chemical
Resources Laboratory are also lecturing
and giving research guidance to
doctoral or master level students
under the cooperation with the
interdisciplinary graduate school
of science and engineering of Tokyo
Institute of Technology.
