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
Materials and methods for the preparation and analysis of banana plant pseudo-stem fiber ash aqueous extract have been discussed. The extract is highly rich in potassium and carbonate, moderately in sodium and chloride. In addition, nitrate, phosphate, and 12 other heavy metals in trace concentrations have been detected. The extract is so rich in potassium and carbonate that it is a prospective renewable source for the isolation of potassium carbonate. The origin of carbonate in the extract is the oxalate present in the pseudo-stem fibers.
