POTENTIAL OF PRODUCTION OF BIODEGRADABLE SURFACTANTS FROM SPIRULINA BIOMASS IN KAZAKHSTAN CONDITIONS

Abstract

The prospects of using Spirulina biomass in the process of creating a new class of natural non-ionic surfactants, such as alkyl amides (mono- or diethanolamides) of fatty acids, which are the most widespread and important class among nitrogen-containing nonionic surfactants are shown. The results of studies on quantitative growth and accumulation of biomass and its chemical composition are presented. The surface active properties of the isolated samples were studied. It was found that the biodegradable surfactants obtained from the Spirulina biomass could significantly reduce the surface tension of water.
