The real boom in uranium from sea projects arose in the mid-1970s when concerted efforts to develop uranium specific sorbents and to evaluate processes based on their use for uranium recovery from seawater were undertaken in Japan and West Germany. The research in Japan, conducted by the Metal Mining Agency of Japan, was sponsored by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry [166,167]. In West Germany, the studies were carried out at the Nuclear Research Center (KFA) injlilich [168]. 

This study was partly supported by the Petroleum Energy Center (PEC) subsidized from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan.
