Solar energy driven physical, chemical and biological recycling of nutrients is the characteristic of the Earth-Sun system which permits life on earth to continue. Natural recycle of nutrients on Earth may literally require thousands or even millions of years to be complete, but for modern civilization to continue on Earth or in space, mankind must take charge of, and accelerate, the recycle of all essentials of life. In this paper we describe studies of two accelerated recycle systems; a solar powered energy system and an integrated feed lot. Both systems require special infrastructures permitting the accelerated physical, chemical and biological processing to occur. These systems do not integrate respiratory carbon dioxide as must be done in a complete closed ecological life support system (CELSS). The Algatron, a more complete system involving microalgal bacterial waste treatment with water, oxygen and carbon dioxide recycle was designed for use in Space Stations over 20 years ago.
太阳能驱动的营养物质物理、化学和生物循环是地球 - 太阳系统的特征，它使地球上的生命得以延续。地球上营养物质的自然循环实际上可能需要数千甚至数百万年才能完成，但为了现代文明在地球或太空中持续发展，人类必须掌控并加速所有生命要素的循环。在本文中，我们描述了两个加速循环系统的研究；一个太阳能动力能源系统和一个综合饲养场。这两个系统都需要特殊的基础设施，以允许加速的物理、化学和生物处理过程发生。这些系统不像完整的封闭生态生命支持系统（CELSS）那样整合呼吸产生的二氧化碳。20多年前设计的Algatron是一个更完整的系统，涉及微藻细菌废水处理以及水、氧气和二氧化碳的循环，用于空间站。
