Fresh water resources on the earth's surface are decreasing at a rate of 1.5% per year, while human consumption of
fresh water is increasing at a rate of 1.5% per year. If this continues, human survival will soon face a terrible
threat due to the lack of fresh water , there is nothing in the world that can replace fresh water, so the only way for human beings to survive is to ask for fresh water from the sea! However, there are two major shortcomings in the traditional
seawater desalination technology in the world at present: one is that the production cost of seawater
desalination is relatively high, and the average price of one
ton of fresh water is more than 1 US dollar, which makes it unaffordable for many people in poor or underdeveloped areas; The concentrated brine (residual metamorphic seawater) left after extracting fresh water has twice the salt concentration of the original seawater and is discharged back into the sea, causing all
marine life in some sea areas to die and polluting the sea.
[0004] 3. At present, there is an unsolvable problem in the traditional seawater
desalination technology in the world: it is impossible to repeatedly extract the seawater in the process of processing to achieve full utilization, because the remaining
salt water after the original seawater is extracted into a part of fresh water contains salt The concentration has doubled, and it can no longer be recycled into the original process, so the remaining "residual metamorphic seawater" has to be discharged back into the sea
In order to allow seawater to be extracted and processed repeatedly, it is necessary to make the salt concentration (Baumé degree) of the remaining seawater consistent with the salt concentration of the original seawater, so that the remaining seawater can be mixed with new seawater into the In the new round of circular extraction process; the traditional salt
chemical industry also has the problem that raw seawater can only flow in one direction in the production process. When the required product is extracted from seawater, the remaining "residual metamorphic seawater" It is still discharged back to the sea to pollute the sea, and it cannot be recycled at all.
[0005] 4. At present, human beings have not comprehensively obtained
drug resources from marine organisms: seaweed contains plant cytokines (cytoknins) that can promote
plant growth and development; seaweed polysaccharides, alginate,
agar, and
carrageenan are contained as raw materials for the
food industry ; Contains
sodium alginate which is indispensable for
dental impression, printing and
dyeing, and
papermaking industries; contains
phycobiliprotein, seaweed carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids (AA, LNA, EPA, DHA) with high medical value and strong physiological Active long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFA), the above-mentioned physiological active elements contained in seaweed are precious medical raw materials that are not contained in terrestrial plants, such as
unsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid And
eicosapentaenoic acid can make people's arteries soft and stretchable, reduce
blood cholesterol and
neutral fat content, inhibit
platelet aggregation, and reduce
blood viscosity, so it can treat human
myocardial infarction,
cerebral thrombosis, atherosclerosis A series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hardening,
hyperlipidemia, and high
blood pressure, but so far, although the medical field can diagnose cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they have not found drugs that can cure cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: For example, a person suffering from hypertension The doctor can take
medicine to lower his
blood pressure, but once the
medicine is stopped, his
blood pressure will return to the original
high pressure, and the application of these marine bioactive ingredients can completely cure cardiovascular diseases, making cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases no longer a problem The number one
disease that kills humans! The n-3 series of long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids can treat
rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus erythematosus,
asthma, ulcerative
enteritis,
nephritis,
hair loss,
vitiligo and other
immune system diseases; seaweed carotenoids have
antioxidant activity And it has anti-
cancer function, it is
vitamin A that the
human body cannot synthesize; in addition, marine bioactive elements can regenerate subcutaneous
cell tissue and make
skin elastic and eliminate wrinkles when applied to the face. It is a pity that human beings have not
fully developed and utilized the precious marine biological
drug sources that are not contained in raw plants. The comprehensive development and utilization of marine
drug resources is one of the things that we humans must urgently do
