Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The microalgae culture has a potential for obtaining bioproducts that can be used in various commercial segments. The microalgae industry generates interest in the investors who recognize good performance and suitability in the production of various microalgal products. In recent years, research projects and microalgal industries worldwide have been increased with a focus on the agriculture, aqualculture, human and animal nutrition, bulk and fine chemicals, cosmetics and biofuels. The microalgae biomass production has a limited scale, due to the problems presented in the scaling of the production process. The industrial production is dominated by open systems, allowing growth only of some microalgal species. The consolidation of microalgaebased products has been focused on improvements in the culture systems and production costs, making this industrial sector more competitive.
