菲律宾十大彩票平台大学碳高温高级研究实验室, 美国陆军研究实验室(ARL)正在研究新型稀土元素(REE)提取和化学危害去除技术,以支持陆军现代化战略. 稀土是用于构建通信的关键材料, guidance, 以及国防和民用控制系统. Currently, 美国无法经济地提取必要数量的稀土元素, 并且依赖于国外市场和供应链. CHAR实验室正在应用新型谐振振动混合技术与碳基吸收剂进行稀土固体分离. 化学品危害影响人类和环境的健康和安全. CHAR实验室的任务是开发新的技术来减轻空气和水传播的污染物. CHAR努力适应现有的方法,从普通试剂创建金属有机框架, 应用功能材料作为表面涂层, 并生产功能材料,以中和空气和水的毒素. This work is conducted by faculty, graduate research students, 并为本科生提供教育机会,培养对相关工程和科学领域感兴趣的学生.

Our facility features student-built systems.
研究人员可以使用最先进的仪器.
所有学生都参与动手实验和学习.
