Experiment Guidance

Content of Experiment Guidance

① Guidance on procedures for molten salt electrolysis experiments using I’MSEP's experimental facilities (no equipment or materials preparation required / sales available if desired). Instructors are our company researchers.
② Step 1: Electrolysis processes that are safe and easy to approach as a subject.
③ Step 2: Guidance targeted at the client's desired process.
④ Classroom lectures conducted according to client's needs.

Implementation Example (Duration, Number of Sessions, Method)

Maximum of 2 participants (3 or more please inquire separately). Step 1: approximately 5 days max; Step 2: approximately 4–10 days depending on theme. The two steps need not be consecutive.
