We are pleased to announce that the “10th Japan-Brazil Symposium on Dust ProcessingEnergy-Environment in Metallurgical Industries” will be held in Sendai from 17th to 19th days of September 2018. Prof. Junichiro Yagi (Tohoku University) and Prof. Cyro Takano (University of São Paulo) organized the first symposium in Sendai and São Paulo in 1999 to discuss the urgent issues in the metallurgical industries. Since then the scientists and the engineers from Brazil and Japan have exchanged the scientific knowledge and the technical information, further more have deepened the friendship. After nine successful symposia, the symposium will be coming back to Sendai. This time, a part of the symposium is in conjunction with the International organizing session of the 176th meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan (ISIJ). We hope many scientists and engineers from both countries gather at Sendai in this opportunity, and to share the recent progresses of science and technology in the issues of dust
processing, energy, environments, and so on.
