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
Since the halophytes complete their life cycle in a salty environment, they,
consequently, have a high content of minerals in their components. The high content of
ash is a typical characteristic of halophytes. However, the ash content of halophytes
differs greatly according to several factors. This chapter discusses how halophytes vary
in ash and ion content, the effects of halophyte species on mineral compositions, and
geographic variations in the mineral contents of halophytes.
