第 4 回国際ホソカワ粉体工学シンポジウムをドイツで開催
4th International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium Held in Germany
9 月 14 日「第 4 回国際ホソカワ粉体工学シンポ

技術の紹介，リチウムイオン電池のリサイクル技術

On September 14th, the 4th International Hosokawa
Powder Technology Symposium took place at the Dorint
An der Kongresshalle Hotel in Augsburg, Germany. Thesymposium was organized by the Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation, in conjunction with KONA Europe e.V.,
the European / African Editorial Board of the academic journal
KONA, and was co-hosted and sponsored by HosokawaAlpine AG.
The International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium was first held in 2014 at Hosokawa Alpine AG tocelebrate the 20th anniversary of the Foundation. Subsequent symposia took place in the United States in 2017 andChina in 2019, making this the fourth edition of the event.
The symposium began with a welcome speech by Kohei
Hosokawa, Director of Hosokawa Powder Technology
Foundation and President of Hosokawa Micron Corporation.
The theme of the symposium was “Sustainable Productionof Functional Particles,” and it featured eight presentations
highlighting collaborations between various companies, aswell as the overviews by the academic researchers.
In the presentations, hot topics such as the future prospects of cultured meat production using continuous production
facilities for cell culture media, dry and wet technology for
efficient extraction of proteins from soybean protein, recycling technology and equipment for lithium-ion batteries,
the relationship between processing techniques for rare

earth materials and the performance of neodymium magnets,
and the introduction of new spheronization equipment forgraphite, a critical secondary battery material, were discussed.
Additionally, Dr. Akira Watanabe, General Manager of
the Technology Development Department of Hosokawa
Micron Corporation in Japan, shared insights into the differences in geopolitical and cultural perspectives between
Japan and Germany, and the evolution of secondary battery
material manufacturing equipment in Japan. At the end of
the symposium, Mr. Fernandez, President of Hosokawa
Alpine AG, gave closing remarks.
This event drew participants from various countries, including the host country Germany, the Netherlands, andLithuania. A welcome ceremony held the day before thesymposium allowed attendees to visit Hosokawa Alpine
AG’s test center, which can meet a variety of customer
demands, and a factory that efficiently organizes productionlines by application. Afterwards, the participants went on acity tour of Augsburg, and enjoyed international networking
opportunities while savoring German beer at a beer halladjacent to a German brewery in Augsburg.
