Japan applications

To commercialize agricultural end-use products in Japan, applicants are required to submit appropriate data to MAFF. The data required for registration are summarized in this section.

Utilization of LPG as motor fuel represents only a tiny fraction of the market, on the order of 30,000 t/an in France out of a total 3,000,000 t that is, about 1%. Globally, the fraction of LPG used in the transportation industry is on the order of 5% the other applications are essentially petrochemicals (25%) and the heating fuel sectors (70%). However noticeable openings in the LPG-fuel markets in some countries such as Japan (1.8 Mt), the United States (1.3 Mt), the Netherlands (0.9 Mt), Italy (0.8 Mt) and in certain regions (Latin America, Africa, and the Far East) have been observed for specialized vehicles such as taxis.

Frontier orbital analysis is a powerful theory that aids our understanding of a great number of organic reactions Its early development is attributed to Professor Kenichi Fukui of Kyoto University Japan The application of frontier orbital methods to Diels-Alder reactions represents one part of what organic chemists refer to as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules a beautifully simple analysis of organic reactions by Professor R B Woodward of Harvard University and Professor Roald Hoffmann of Cornell University Professors Fukui and Hoffmann were corecipients of the 1981 Nobel Prize m chemistry for their work... 

Globally, there is a small number of basic fluorosihcone producers General Electric Co. and Dow Corning Corp. in the United States, ShinEtsu in Japan, and Wacker Chemie in Germany. Prices tend to be about 55—220/kg and higher depending on the physical form and the application. 

Applications. In 1994, approximately 675,000 metric tons of amorphous precipitated sihca were manufactured for sale (38,62). Degussa, J. M. Huber, and PPG in the United States and in Europe, and Akzo (Germany), Aluflour (Sweden), Crosfield (United Kingdom), Nippon Sihca (Japan), Rhc ne-Poulenc (France), Shionogi (Japan), Tokuyama Soda (Japan), and Vitro PQ (Mexico) are the primary producers. 

Table 3 summarizes many of the uses mentioned in the literature. The main use of succinic acid in Japan is for bath preparations (314—322). This application in 1994 accounted for nearly 80% of total consumption. After recording a more than 10% yearly increase in the late 1980s, the growth of this apphcation has slowed down, and consumption is decreasing on account of the replacement of succinic acid by fumaric acid for economic reasons. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years.

Applications. Because of its high lime content, the use of hemibasic calcium hypochlorite ia geaeral sanitatioa is limited. It is used primarily ia Japan and lesser developed countries as an alternative to bleaching powder. 

Approved techniques for manual and mechanical sampling are often documented for various commodities handled in commerce by industiy groups. Examples are the International Standards Organization (ISO), British Standards Association (BSA), Japan Institute of Standards (JIS), American Society for Testing Materi s (ASTM), and the Fertihzer Institute. Sampling standards developed for use in specified industry applications frequently include instructions for labora-toiy work in sample preparation and analysis—steps (2) and (3) above. 

Selective catalvtic reduc tion (SCR) has been used to control NO emissions from utility boilers in Europe and Japan for over a decade. Applications of SCR to control process NO emissions in the chemical industiy are becoming increasingly common. A typical SCR system is shown in Fig. 25-22. 

Until the late 1990s, Waspaloy was still the best alloy available for the majority of hot gas turboexpanders used in industry and, until recently, it continued to offer the many special characteristic needed for hot gas expander applications. However, a new development followed in 2000 when the Ebara Corporation (Japan) released data on a nickel-base superalloy. 

As indicated in Table 31.4, the potential of ICPs is in somewhat esoteric applications. In some instances the potential has reached commercial realisation. For example, coating the walls of boreholes in circuit boards before electroplating with copper involves fewer stages than with older established processes and is claimed to be cost effective, faster and simpler. ICPs are also now being marketed in Japan for use in solid electrolyte conductors. 

The original drive for the development of modem carbon fibers, in the late-1950s, was the demand for improved strong, stiff and lightweight materials for aerospace (and aeronautical) applications, particularly by the military in the West. The seminal work on carbon fibers in this period, at Union Carbide in the U.S.A., by Shindo, et al, in Japan and Watt, et al, in the U.K., is well-documented [4-7]. It is always worth pointing out, however, that the first carbon fibers, prepared from cotton and bamboo by Thomas Edison and patented in the U.S.A. in 1880, were used as filaments in incandescent lamps.
