The Japan Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Demonstration Project (JHFC), summarized in Fig. 4-13, is a program set up by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in March 2003. In this program, hydrogen refueling facilities with different types of fuel and production methods will be tested. Vehicles from five automakers are taking part in this project, including Toyota s FCHV and fuel cell bus.

A smaller slush hydrogen production system has been constructed in Japan with a volume of 60 liters. Both the freeze-thaw and the auger production method have been investigated revealing the creation of finer fractions with a higher fluidity with the latter method [61]. 

Sumitomo developed a recirculation process for manufacture of PO using CHP as oxidant (196). The company developed both a new catalyst and a new process for PO production. The production method is fundamentally similar to known methods involving organic peroxides as oxidants the major difference is that cumene is used as the reaction medium and hence the process is referred to as the cumene PO-only process. Laboratory tests started in 2000 and pilot plant testing in 2001. A plant was completed in 2002 and started up in 2003. This commercial plant was the first PO-only plant in Japan, producing PO by oxidation of propylene with cumene hydroperoxide without a significant formation of coproducts. The plant is located in the Chiba prefecture, operated by a joint venture between Nihon Oxirane Co. and Lyondell, and produces aroimd 200,000 t of PO/year. A second plant was started in May 2009 in Saudi Arabia, as a joint project of Sumitomo with Saudi Arabian Oil Co.

Most new patent cases of interest are pubHshed by at least one of the U.S., European, or Japanese patent offices, and WIPO (PCT). Japan presents problems for those not able to read Japanese, but the U.S. Official Ga tte (with representative claims) and PCT Ga tte (with English-language abstracts) can be in one s hands within a week of patent pubHcation. Similar timing is available for the European Patent Office bulletin which contains trilingual tides and the on-line EPAT file and various CD-ROM products. A highly effective alerting program can be developed from a combination of these methods. 

Colorimetric methods have led to the development of visual devices for measurement of benzene concentration. These visual detection tubes have been popular since the 1960s and have provided a simple and rehable method for evaluating ambient aromatic vapor contamination. These products are available from anumber of manufacturers such as Drager (Lubeck, Germany), Gastec (Tokyo, Japan), Kitagawa (Kawasaki, Japan), DuPont (Wilmington, Delaware, USA), and 3M (St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) (85). 

Camphor, Cj HjgO, occurs in the wood of the camphor tree Laurus camphora) as dextro-camphor. This is the ordinary camphor of commerce, known as Japan camphor, whilst the less common laevo-camphor is found in the oil of Matricaria parthenium. Camphor can also be obtained by the oxidation of borneol or isoborneol with nitric acid. Camphor may be prepared from turpentine in numerous ways, and there are many patents existing for its artificial preparation. Artificial camphor, however, does not appear to be able to compete commercially with the natural product. Amongst the methods may be enumerated the following —...
