Beginning in approximately 1975, both IMG and Ereeport Minerals operated large uranium recovery plants in the United States using this technology. Several plants continue to mn but a number have been closed because of the depressed uranium prices that resulted when uranium from the former Soviet Union flooded Western markets. A relatively small plant is operated by Prayon in Belgium (40). TOPO is available from Cytec Industries Inc. as CYANEX 921 extractant. D2EHPA is available from Albright Wilson Ltd. and is also sold by Daihachi as DP-8R. 

At 0100, April 25, a slow power reduction for the scheduled shutdown began. At 1300 and twelve hours later, the power was 1,600 MWt, when the grid controller asked that the plant continue to supply power for the grid. Power reduction was stopped and turbine 8, scheduled for the test.

Commercial production of food products is conducted in large-scale processing plants. As already mentioned, tomatoes are processed in plants continuously from June to late fall (autumn), 24 h per day, 7 days per week. This is also true of potatoes, wheat, soybeans, corn, and other large-scale commodity crops. Some crops, such as grapes, that might have a relatively short harvest season, may be processed around the clock to generate intermediate products, such as juice or young wine that can be stored for extended periods of time, whereas final products, which can be made from the intermediate products, may be produced over time as consumer demand requires. Final products may also be stored in their final retail or food service containers until demand requires distribution. 

Elsewhere, long-established arrangements between ants and plants continue unthreatened, and plants with ant-dispersed seeds flourish in many temperate and tropical areas. Overall, these arrangements involve more than three thousand species from more... 

Because the vertical component of the velocity in the cyclone is downwards everywhere outside the central core, the particles will rotate at a constant distance from the centre and move continuously downwards until they settle on the conical base of the plant. Continuous removal of the solids is desirable so that the particles do not get entrained again in the gas stream due to the relatively low pressures in the central core. Entrainment is reduced to a minimum if the separator has a deep conical base of small angle. 

Plants continuously challenged by pathogenic microorganisms possess efficient defense systems. The effective defense requires pathogen recognition followed by a rapid activation of plant defense gene expression. Ethylene... 

In the meantime, nuclear power plants continue to produce an additional 2,000 short tons (1,800 metric tons) of high-level nuclear wastes every year. 

Since the original publication of the paper here presented, developments relating to Salvia divinorum psychopharmacology have been many. There is little doubt, today, that the compound salvinorin-A is psychoactive (an understatement, to be sure). Nevertheless, in many ways the plant continues to evoke awe and fascination, and continues to mystify both poet and scientist alike. To my knowledge, the botanical questions put forth in this paper remain, for the most part, unanswered. (ASR, 2-14-98). 

Also, the required selling price for a given return on investment is just about the same. We feel that this is a clear indication that SRC-II is preferable, and we ve seen nothing in the past two years to change our opinion. The Tacoma pilot plant continues to be encouraging enforcing this opinion more than ever. 

By 1880 there were 140 US plants producing com, wheat, potato and rice starches. By 1900 the number of American starch facilities had decreased to 80, producing 240 million pounds (110 million kg) per year. Although a number of small plants continued to be built they could not compete and, in 1890, a consolidation took place... 

Stobbe s wish has been only partially fulfilled in the century which has elapsed in the meantime. Whilst many photochemical reactions have been discovered, certainly many more wait to be uncovered, and it still holds true that more photochemistry carried out by synthetic chemists would contribute to the growth of photochemistry as a whole. This Handbook represents a modest attempt to contribute towards this aim and to foster the synthetic use of photochemistry. The presentation is referred to the small-scale laboratory synthesis of fine chemicals. In this aspect, the photochemical literature does not differ from the large majority of published synthetic work, most of which is carried out on the 100 mg scale for exploratory studies. However, there is no reason to think that a photochemical reaction is unfit for scaling up. As will shown below, an increase up to the 100 g scale can be obtained in the laboratory by simple arrangements. Furthermore, while the presently running industrial applications are limited in number, they are nonetheless rather important [3]. Some of these are well established, an example being the synthesis of vitamin D3 which has been produced at the several tons level each year for several decades, and for which dedicated plants continue to be built. This indeed demonstrates that photochemical syntheses are commercially viable. 

The role of metals and other elements in the health of humans, animals, and plants continues to be of great interest both on a routine basis and in research. Two recent reviews described the important impact of ICP-MS in biomedical research [227, 228]. ICP-MS provides the ability to measure multiple elements at ultratrace levels rapidly and to measure isotope ratios at low enough concentrations so that stable isotope tracers can be used for biomedical research [229]. Much remains unknown about the role of metals and their speciation on biological activity, in large part as a result of inadequate measurement techniques. 

By the mid-1950s, the availability of inexpensive natural gas and petroleum had led to the abandonment of most coal gasification units. However, even as oil and natural gas use increased, coal gasification plants continued to be built on a limited scale in certain areas of the world, particularly in countries with a limited supply of petroleum. 

Isobutane from hydrocracking plants continues to be available, but construction of new hydrocrackers is very expensive and therefore an increased supply from this source is, short term at least, doubtful.
