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 isolation of potassium chloride from banana plant fiber ash aqueous extract have been discussed. The extract, after neutralization with hydrochloric acid, affords a solid which consists of nearly 90% of potassium chloride. The solid is a prospective table salt alternative, especially for individuals suffering from hypokalemia and high blood pressure. Fractional crystallization of the solid affords potassium chloride of 96% purity, which can find other applications.
