| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to develop a novel non-powered water suction pump by utilizing the osmotic pressure generated in the concentrated particles layer, the effect of slurry conditions on the water suction ability was systematically investigated. It was found that the largest water suction flux could be obtained when particles with the smallest primary particle size were dispersed well. In addition it was shown that the initial particle concentration of the slurry should be as large as possible for the large water suction flux.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the concentrated particles layer for alumina slurry could keep sucking water for almost 150 days even though the water suction flux became gradually small.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来の浸透圧ポンプは、吸水に伴い溶質濃度が低下するため、吸水を長期間継続することは難しかった。しかし本研究では微粒子の沈降濃縮層を利用することで、浸透圧の発生源である電気二重層の重なりを長期間維持し、吸水を持続できることを見出した点に学術的、工学的な意義を有する。本研究の成果を活かし、多段の吸水装置を開発することで、乾燥地帯での地下水の汲み上げによる緑化などへと応用が可能になると期待される。
