Japan operation

The process is operated in heated, batch reactors under an inert atmosphere. Two companies (Deeside Titanium, North Wales, and New Metals Industries, Nihongi, Japan) operate a one-stage process. Reactive Metals Industries Company, Ashtabula, OH, operates a two-stage process in the first stage, at 230°C, the trichloride and dichloride are formed. In the second, more sodium is added and the temperature is raised to 1,000°C. The sponge product is mixed with sodium chloride, which is leached out with dilute hydrochloric acid. Based on the work by M. A. Hunter at Rensselaer Polytechnic, New York in 1910. See also Kroll. 

The products obtained were analyzed for composition using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (LC -10AT Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), which consisted of a column (STR ODS-II, 25 cm in length x 4.6 mm in id Shinwa Chemical, Osaka, Japan) operated at 40°C at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with methanol as a carrier solvent. The column was packed with silica particles (5-pm particle diameter and 12-nm pore diameter). The cloud and pour points of the obtained biodiesel were then determined by a mini-cloud/pour point tester (Model MPC-102 Tanaka Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) based on ASTM D2500 for cloud point and ASTM D6749 for pour point (14). 

Idemitsu Kosan in Chiba, Japan, operates a pilot plant for the free radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate (MMA) [54], following prior process development at Kyoto University [55]. 

Russia, France and Japan operate fast breeder reactors. 

This process was operating in joint venture at Hanil Metal Recycle (Korea) since 1999 Nippon Recycle Center in Japan operates this process exclusively)... 

In 1962, important research and development (R D) work in this direction was started at Westinghouse. Analogous work was undertaken also in many research and manufacturing establishments in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Operating models with powers of tens of kilowatts were built. 

In Japan, operation of the plant with primary to secondary leak is no admitted.
