The article provides data on the investigation of the effect of enzymatic catalysis on the technological parameters of apple juice production. Apples are distinguished by the presence of a heterogeneous high-molecular complex of biopolymers, which complicates their processing: it prevents juice output, hinders its clarification, filterability of wine materials and negatively affects the colloidal stability of wines. Enzymatic catalysis based on the action of microbial preparations, contributes in many respects to the successful solution of the problems of intensifying technological processes of fruit and berry raw materials processing and improving the quality of obtained products. Enzyme preparations of complex action, causing deep hydrolysis of high-molecular components of the peel and pulp of fruits, provide a more complete extraction of the liquid fraction, better clarification and filterability of juices. The foothill zone of Adygea has special soil and climatic conditions that affect the formation of physical and chemical characteristics of raw materials. Considering that apple tree occupies the first place in terms of planting area among fruit crops in the Republic of Adygea, an urgent task is to study the effect of enzymatic catalysis on technological properties of juices obtained during the processing of apples grown in these soil and climatic conditions. Enzyme preparations of complex action, recommended for the processing of fruit juices and wine materials, made in France and Germany, have been selected as objects of the research. The results of the studies on the use of enzyme preparations in the processing of apple juices, taking into account their influence on the juice yield and such technological parameters as the speed and quality of clarification, filterability and dynamics of alcoholic fermentation, have been presented. The effect of enzymatic catalysis on the mass concentrations of polysaccharides, starch, total nitrogen and phenolic substances has been studied. A higher hydrolytic activity of the Extrazyme enzyme preparation has been established, when added to the pulp; it contributes to the deep transformation of high-molecular substances and, as a result, to optimize the technological parameters of juice production

The current paper has presented the study results on the effect of biological products and microelement fertilizers ‘Organomix’ on productivity of the maize hybrid ‘Zernogradsky 354MV’ carried out in laboratory for cultivation technologies of row crops (FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”) in 2019–2020. The soil in the experimental plot was favorable for the cultivation of corn, containing 3.36% of humus in the arable layer, 24.4 mg of mobile phosphorus, and 360 mg of exchangeable potassium per 1 kg of soil. The soil pH was 7.0. The study was carried out to estimate the effect of the use of biological products for seed treatment and microelement fertilizers ‘Organomix’ for plant treatment on productivity and economic efficiency of maize cultivation. There was low moisture content of sowings during the period of the trial. There was established an uneven distribution of precipitation, the value of the hydrothermal coefficient was less than 1 (0.64 in 2019 and 0.65 in 2020), which indicated the dryness of the vegetation period. The studied biological products and microelement fertilizers influenced the yield structure elements. The applied biological products and microelement fertilizers ‘Organomix’ improved survival rate of plants before harvesting (the plant density was 4.39–4.54 pcs/m2). There was increase of grain productivity indicators, namely cob weight ranged from 112.9 to 125.7 g, grain weight per ear varied from 94.4 to 104.8 g and 1000-grain weight was 221.2–231.4 g. The improvement of the yield structure elements increased grain productivity on 0.25–0.77 t/ha. Economic efficiency showed that the use of biological products and microelement fertilizers raised the conditional net income to the level of 28 061–34 821 rubles/ha, profitability up to 167.6–201.8% and reduced production costs to 4640–5231 rubles/t.

Experiments on measuring the rate of evaporation of liquid sessile droplets into air show that the rate of evaporation increases in the presence of forced convection flows. However, data on the effect of convection on evaporation are often contradictory and should be clarified. The paper presents a numerical analysis of evaporation from the surface of a water droplet subjected to forced convection in the gas phase. The drop is located on a smooth horizontal isothermal substrate; the mode with constant contact angle is considered. The shape of the drop has axial symmetry, the same for the velocities and pressure. Forced convection compatible with the symmetry conditions are represented by flows directed downward along the axis of the system and diverging along the sides near the drop and the substrate. The mathematical model is constructed for evaporation controlled by diffusion in the gas phase and takes into account surface tension, gravity, and viscosity in both media, buoyancy and Marangoni convection. The results indicate the existence of the mutual influence of liquid and gaseous media. Thus, a drop vibrates under the influence of movements in the atmosphere, which generates a density wave in the gas: the drop «sounds». The magnitude of the velocity in a liquid is 50 times less than the characteristic velocity in air. It is found that the evaporation rate does not change in the presence of forced convection flows, which contradicts most of the experimental works. The reason for the discrepancies is supposed to be the appearance of nonequilibrium conditions at the boundary of the condensed phase: under these conditions, the evaporation regime ceases to be diffusional.

Increasing the yield of juice and biologically active components from plant raw materials is an urgent task in the production of functional beverages. For this, fruit, berry and vegetable pulp was treated with enzymatic preparations of pectolytic action and the yield of juice was determined. Samples of pulp of each raw material were treated with enzyme preparations: Fructocyme P6-L, Fructocyme P, Fructocyme MA, in an amount of 0.03% of the pulp mass. Enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out at 50 °C for two hours, after which the amount of obtained juice was compared with the control sample. As a result, when adding Fructocyme MA to the pulp of apples and carrots, the juice yield increases by 8% and 17%, respectively. When Fructocyme P6-L is added to the pulp of kiwi, blueberries, grapes, the juice yield increases by 6%, 12 and 10%, respectively. To determine the effect of enzyme preparations on the yield of biologically active components, the previously selected enzyme preparations were added to all samples in an amount of 0.01; 0.03; 0.05; 0.07% of the pulp mass, and the total content of polyphenols was determined by colorimetry and anthocyanins. As a result of the experiment, it was found that in terms of the amount of polyphenolic substances extracted from the pulp, fruit and berry raw materials can be divided into three groups: raw materials with loose pulp, with pulp of medium density and raw materials with dense pulp. As a result, individual enzyme preparations and optimal modes of application were selected for each type of raw material. The dependence of the content of polyphenolic compounds on the dosage of the addition of enzyme preparations has been established.

Objectives. This study described the 4-circle goniometer Syntex P1N and its possible applications in X-ray and neutron structure analysis of single crystals.Methods. The 4-circle goniometer Syntex P1N, due to its high-precision mechanical characteristics and individual components from domestic equipment (sets of DRON type X-ray diffractometers), formed the basis for developing an instrument complex for X-ray and neutron-structure studies.Results. The neutron diffractometer was upgraded based on the Syntex P1N goniometer. Therefore, the 10BF3-based end neutron counter, included in the diffractometer kit, was replaced by the 3He-based domestic side counter, SNM-16. Such a significant reduction in the linear dimensions of the detector allowed us to expand the range of measured angles of 2θ from 90° to 140° and increase the accuracy of the measured interplanar distances accordingly. The goniometer was adjusted relative to the primary neutron beam by placing it on a specially designed plate. Highly accurate measured parameters of the unit cell and the intensity of the reflexes were achieved by optimizing the installation geometry and the protection of the goniometer and detector. Based on the Syntex P1N goniometer, an instrument complex for X-ray diffraction studies has also been developed. Both the developed X-ray and the upgraded neutronography facilities were used to perform experiments to measure the unit cell parameters, the coordinates of atoms, and the parameters of their thermal vibrations on several crystals of domestic synthetic samples: diamond C, silicon Si, halite, or rock salt NaCl, and corundum α-Al2O3. An excellent correlation was achieved by comparing the data obtained with the corresponding chemical crystals’ parameters and reference samples recommended by the International Union of Crystallographers.Conclusions. This paper described a neutron installation and a Syntex P1N neutron diffractometer for the study of single crystals. Based on the latter, an instrument complex for X-ray diffraction studies has also been developed. Experiments on standard samples have shown a high level of accuracy in measuring the lattice parameters, the coordinates of atoms, and the parameters of their thermal vibrations on both the X-ray and neutron diffractometers.

In the process of performing a complex of works on refueling of civil aviation aircraft, one of the key issues is to ensure flight safety by controlling the quality of aviation fuel directly during refueling operations. Currently, to ensure the purity of the refueled jet fuel, water separators with filter elements of a normalized degree of purification are installed on the aircraft refueling facilities, the operation of which in the working area provides normalized indicators of cleaning jet fuel from water and mechanical impurities. As practice shows, in the process of refueling aircraft, for various objective and subjective reasons, sometimes there are stochastic situations in which quality indicators go beyond the limits established by regulatory documentation and are not deterministic, and the subsequent state of such a system is described by values that characterize an extremely low level of jet fuel purification with negative consequences for flight safety. This paper presents a mathematical description of the functioning of water separator filters in the working area, where standardized indicators of the quality of aviation fuel are provided during the refueling of aircraft. The article deals with the issue of blocking the refueling of aircraft in the event of the appearance of non-normalized technical documentation indicators of the quality of aviation fuel, which arise due to a number of different factors that lead to negative cause-and-effect relationships for flight safety. Based on the mathematical description, an approach to creating a system for protecting and blocking the refueling process under the working name "Barrier" is proposed. Of the greatest interest for the study are typical water separator filters installed on refueling vehicles as terminal technical devices for fuel purification during refueling of aircraft.

The current paper has presented the results of the estimation of productivity of the winter wheat varieties ‘Krasa Dona’, ‘Polina’ and ‘Yubiley Dona’ when using liquid complex fertilizers ‘Strada N + Mono Sulfur (S)’, ‘Strada P + Mono Sulfur (S)’ and ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’. The treatment of winter wheat plants was carried out in the form of foliar top-dressings in the stages of tillering and stem extension. The study was carried out on the basis of the FSBSI “Agri- cultural Research Center “Donskoy” in 2019-2020. The trials were laid in the crop rotation of the laboratory for primary seed production and seed study. The purpose was to study the effect of liquid complex fertilizers on the productivity of the studied winter wheat varieties. When using fertilizers for all varieties, there was a tendency to an increase in the density of the productive stand on 18-61 pcs/m2 in comparison with the control. The variety ‘Krasa Dona’ showed the best indicators of the traits ‘number of grains per head’, ‘grain weight per head’ and ‘1000 grain weight’ being fertilized with ‘Strada N + S’ (43 pcs., 2.19 g and 45.7 g) and ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’ (46 pcs., 2.30 g and 46.5 g). The variety ‘Polina’ showed good results after being treated with ‘Strada P + S’ (48 pcs., 2.30 g and 42.1 g) and ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’ (51 pcs., 2.43 g and 42.4 g). The variety ‘Yubiley Dona’ showed the greatest increase of the trait ‘number of grains’ with the fertilizer ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’. The trait ‘1000 grains weight’ had an increase of 2.3 g, and ‘grain weight per head’ was 0.29 g. The treatment with fertilizers did not affect the trait ‘plant height’. The highest productivity of the variety ‘Krasa Dona’ was obtained when being fertilized with ‘Strada N + S’ (9.4 t / ha) and ‘Diforma Silicon-potassium’ (9.5 t/ha); the productivity of the variety ‘Polina’ increased after ‘Strada P + S’ (8.8 t/ha) and ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’ (9.1 t/ha), and the productivity of the variety ‘Yubiley Dona’ increased after ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’ (8.9 t/ha). The maximum economic effect (19080 rubles/ha) with 9.5 t/ha of productivity was obtained from the variety ‘Krasa Dona’ after the treatment with the fertilizer ‘Diform Silicon-potassium’. The experimental results have shown that the use of complex fertilizers has a positive effect on the productivity of winter wheat plants.

Introduction. Arc surfacing through feeding an additional filler wire heated by an additional arc burning between the filler wire and the electrode wire is considered. Under the conditions of such surfacing, the minimization of the input of the remelted substrate metal into the weld metal is studied. The research objectives are to examine the conditions providing self-regulation of this advanced arc surfacing process, and to evaluate control capabilities of the heat impact power on the metal and on the weld metal flow. Materials and Methods. In solving a wide range of welding and surfacing tasks, it is advisable to use engineering analysis methods based on physicomathematical modeling of processes and phenomena. These include: self-regulation of the arc process under joint melting of the electrode and the filler wires; assessment of the possibilities to control the heat impact power on the metal and on the weld metal flow during the formation of the weld The features of the arc surfacing of anticorrosive chromium-nickel steels on low-alloy steel are considered in the paper. Results. New mathematical dependences are proposed that describe physical phenomena under surfacing with an arc interaction between the electrode and filler wire. A physicomathematical model of the joint melting of the electrode and filler wire is developed. It provides determining the values of the control parameters. In addition, you can find out how much heat affects the substrate from: heat release in the main arc, droplet flows of the weld electrode and filler metal, arc plasma Discussion and Conclusions. It is established how the current and the lengths of the main and additional arcs are affected by the supply voltages. The feed rate of the electrode and filler wire with a diameter of 1.6 mm and 1.2 mm made of Inconel 625 alloy is determined. It is shown what thermal effect the substrate undergoes in this case. It is noted that due to the larger value of the main arc current, the diameter of the electrode wire should be larger than that of the filler wire. The heat flow in the substrate is created mainly by the flow of the weld metal droplets.

The paper presents a study of the effect of adding Mo and MoS2 on the microstructure and properties of a powder coating based on austenitic steels. The coatings have been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a Vickers hardness tester, and abrasion wear resistance has been determined by the Pin on disk method. The results show that a coating that does not contain Mo and MoS2 consists of the phases g(Fe), M7(C, B)3 and (Fe, Cr)2B. The addition of Mo and MoS2 leads to the formation of phases M23(C, B)6, Mo2(B, C) and Fe3Mo3(C, B), where M = Fe, Cr, Mo. The main goal of these studies was to study characteristics of Mo and MoS2 distribution and the effect of their addition on the microstructure, hardness, and abrasion wear resistance of an alloy coating based on austenitic steels. Composite materials based on austenitic steels obtained by diffusion alloying (Aus0Mo), which has a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 50–100 μm, have been used for deposition. 3–7 wt. % of Mo powder and 1.0–1.5 wt. % of MoS2 powder with a diameter less than 50 μm have been added in the powder of the composite material based on austenitic steels (Aus3Mo, Aus5Mo, Aus7Mo). Surfacing methods, including gas arc welding with a tungsten electrode, arc welding in shielding gas, plasma surfacing (PTA) and laser surfacing are widely used in industry to increase wear resistance of surfaces. The most important differences between these methods are deposition rate, applicability of materials, substrate dilution, microstructure and hardness stability after exposure to high temperatures, as well as manufacturing cost. Among the methods described above, plasma spraying followed by fusion is a good alternative to other surfacing processes. The coating should not be overheated until it is completely melted, since in this case the primary crystals of chromium carbides and borides pass into a liquid solution and upon subsequent crystallization, form a coarser structure, worsening the quality of the coating. This is precisely what does not occur during plasma spraying followed by reflow; in addition, the method is cheap, coatings are of high quality, competitive wear resistance and high stability of properties at high temperature.

Introduction. Meat-containing semi-finished minced products demonstrate a wide variety of properties, as they contain both plant and meat components. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to plan the freezing process. In view of the current environmental situation, packaging films used for cold storage should be biodegradable. The effect of low-temperature freezing and storage on biodegradable polymers remains understudied. The research objective was to find the optimal modes for minced-meat semi-finished products frozen in a biopolymer package. Study objects and methods. The study featured zrazy, or meat balls, with vegetable filling and a biopolymer film based on corn starch. It involved a laboratory combination freezing and storage cabinet and an XLW(M) tension tester to establish the physical properties of the film. Results and discussion. The meat-containing semi-finished minced products were vacuum-packaged in biopolymer material and subjected to convection, contact, and combined freezing. The experiments resulted in a new combined method of freezing for biopolymer-packaged semi-finished meat-containing products. The research also tested the strength properties of the CornBag biopolymer film during freezing and cold storage. The paper introduces a graphoanalytic method of calculation of freezing time. Conclusion. The new combined freezing method involved vacuum packaging, air-blast subfreezing, and further freezing on a refrigerated plate. The biopolymer film proved suitable for freezing and cold storage of food products. It keeps the product from drying, reduces vitamin losses, and preserves sensory properties. The optimal storage mode was –18°C, the maximum storage time – 6 months. The improved freezing technology combined freezing method with convective air-blasting and contact freezing on a refrigerated plate for products pre-packaging in a biopolymer vacuum bag. The optimal freezing parameters: temperature = –40°С, time = 85 min, rate = 1.33 cm/h.

The actual problem of mineral resources depletion in ferrous metallurgy can be effectively solved by complex reuse of technogenic waste. That waste is mostly presented by EAF (electric arc furnace) slag and LF (ladle furnace) slag. These two kinds of slag have no complex full utilization. The residues of slag are going to the dump and then the slag dump locations pollute the environment. However, the residues of EAF and LF slag can be transformed into the valuable industrial product by interaction of the slag components. This work presents the research for joint wasteless processing of EAF and LF slag with production of Portland clinker and cast iron. The article describes disadvantages of known methods of each slag processing; the paper also shows the significance of LF slag utilization. Design and calculations of the research are presented as well as its experiment methodology. The final results show five chemical compositions for the mixtures, which allow the complex processing of this slag without any waste left. Such processing provides the production of cast iron and Portland clinker both meeting requirements of normative documents. The paper also describes the results of viscosity measurements of slag compositions, the obtained slag phases, and presents the final temperature conditions. The work also considers the results of industrial tests for the developed processing technology and a complete technological chain involving the use of tilt rotary furnaces. © 2021 National University of Science and Technology MISIS.

Представлен обзор зарубежных научных исследований по получению ванилина, олигосахаридов, липидов и ферментов из свекловичного жома. Наличие в составе свекловичного жома лигнина, состоящего в основном из феруловой кислоты, делает его перспективным источником для получения ванилина; по данным иранских исследователей его выход составляет 1439,3 мг/100 г свекловичного жома. В работах польских и нидерландских исследователей отмечено, что с применением различных ферментов можно достичь 95%-й степени гидролиза пищевых волокон свекловичного жома до олигосахаридов. При микробиологической обработке свекловичного жома для получения липидов их выработка составляет 0,12 г/г сухих веществ при длине цепи 16–18 атомов углерода, что аналогично длинам цепей липидов растительных масел. Микробиологический синтез ферментов из свекловичного жома также показал свою перспективность. Так, при жидкофазном ферментировании свекловичного жома с содержанием сухих веществ 2% выработка β-амилазы с применением P. chitinolyticus составила 2,237 ед./мл. При твердофазном синтезе β-глюкооксидазы с применением T. aurantiacus выработка составила 70 ед./г сухих веществ, а A. pullulans – 13 ед./г сухих веществ. При твердофазном синтезе α-галактозидазы плесенями A. niger выработка составила 230,159 ед./г сухих веществ, A. spinosa – 117,8 ед./г сухих веществ, F. moniliforme – 207,33 ед./г сухих веществ. Отмечено, что получаемые путем микробиологической обработки свекловичного жома ферменты обладают высокой активностью, а также устойчивостью к изменению температуры и реакции среды. Полученные различными исследователями данные показывают перспективность применения свекловичного жома для получения пищевых ингредиентов и биологически активных веществ., The article provides a review of foreign scientific research on the production of vanillin, oligosaccharides, lipids and enzymes from sugar beet pulp. The presence of lignin in beet pulp, mainly consisting of ferulic acid, makes it a promising source for vanillin obtaining – according to Iranian researchers, its yield is 1439,3 mg/100 g of sugar beet pulp. In the works of Polish and Dutch researchers, it was noted that using various enzymes it is possible to achieve a 95% degree sugar beet pulp dietary fiber hydrolysis to oligosaccharides. In the microbiological treatment of sugar beet pulp to produce lipids, their production is 0,12 g/g of dry substances with a chain length of 16–18 carbon atoms, which is similar to the vegetable oils lipid chains length. Microbiological synthesis of enzymes from beet pulp has also shown its prospects. So, with liquid-phase fermentation of sugar beet pulp with a dry substances content of 2%, the production of β-amylase using P. chitinolyticus was 2,237 units/ml. During solid-phase synthesis of β-glucooxidase using T. aurantiacus, it was 70 units/g of dry substances, and A. pullulans – 13 units/g of dry substances. During solid-phase synthesis of α-galactosidase by A. niger molds, production amounted to 230,159 units/g of dry substances, A. spinosa – 117,8 units/g of dry substances and F. moniliforme – 207,33 units/g of dry substances. It is noteworthy that the enzymes obtained by microbiological treatment of sugar beet pulp have high activity, as well as resistance to changes in temperature and the medium reaction. The data obtained by various researchers show the prospects of using beet pulp for the food ingredients and biologically active substances production., Известия вузов.

Existing technological schemes of lime-carbon dioxide purification of diffusion juice include lime treatment (defecation) and two-stage treatment with carbon dioxide (saturation) with sediment separation. Improving cleaning methods aimed at increasing its efficiency is an urgent task. Lime-carbon dioxide purification of the concentrated sugar-containing solution before boiling allows to improve the quality of sugar, reducing the syrup color and increasing its natural alkalinity. The proposed purification scheme, which includes overcarbonation to low syrup pH values (8 and below), its mixing with carbonated syrup and adding activated suspension of II saturation sediment, makes it possible to obtain a purified solution with an increased effect of adsorption purification, with a significantly low content of high-molecular compounds and their calcium salts. The results of the study of various schemes for the purification of syrups in a laboratory setup have been presented. A method for purification of concentrated sugar-containing solutions, protected by a patent of the Russian Federation for the invention, has been developed, which provides for the reduction in the consumption of calcium hydroxide by 0,10–0,12% of CaO by weight of the product or by 0,04% by weight of beet.

Introduction. The main work objective is systematization and analysis of structural defects of vacuum ion-plasma coatings; on this basis, their classification principles are developed and given in the paper. Another important part of the work is the experimental study on one of the specific defects of coatings, which the authors propose to call “defect of substructural origin”. Materials and Methods. PVD coatings of various nitride and metal systems 1.5-9.0 μm thick were used as an object of the research. Coatings were applied in vacuum installations using arc and magnetron evaporators. The research results were obtained by high resolution electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis and indentation. Results. Various types of defects in ion-vacuum coatings are presented as the research results. They include discontinuities, deformation of crystallites, and structural inhomogeneity. The principles of their systematization are validated. It is proposed to classify defects into droplet, substructural, and growth defects (depending on the causes of their nucleation), as well as regular and stochastic ones (depending on their distribution in the coating volume). The study of “substructural defects”, classified by the authors as stochastic, is given special consideration. These micrometric defects are shaped like a cylinder with a conical “head”. Their main axle is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the coating. They can be “extruded” (tore away) by the coating. The paper validates the dislocation mechanism of their nucleation and the helicoid growth principle. Conclusions. The inference is summarized that the proposed systematization of defects in ion-plasma coatings has the character of an intermediate result of research in this scientific area. At this, the “substructural defects” do not have a fatal effect on the structure and properties of the coating due to a small size.

Introduction. The paper considers an actual issue of the development and application of a non-destructive method for controlling the quality of surfaces of steel products (Kelvin probe method). The work objective is to establish the magnitude of the contact potential difference (CPD) of steel 107WCR5 after heat treatment. Materials and Methods. The object of study is alloy tool steel 107WCR5. The chemical composition of the samples was refined through the optical emission analysis method. To carry out the statistical processing, there were three samples in three series. We chose different heat treatment modes for each series, i.e., quenching with low tempering, strengthening and normalization. The end surfaces of the samples were polished and then one of them was treated with a solution of nitric acid. Further, the measurement of the contact potential difference and statistical data processing were carried out. Results. The data obtained show that the CPD value of steel 107WCR5 samples changes after heat treatment. With an increase in tempering temperature, the contact potential difference of the polished surface and the hardness, decrease almost linearly. Exposure to acid causes a significant decrease and equalization of the contact potential difference for all structures. The contact potential difference of steels 107WCR5 and CT105 is compared. Alloying steel by the elements with the work function values of the electron higher than that of iron causes a decrease in the CPD between the standard and the sample. The CPD behavior under a change in the composition of the steel depends strongly on the presence of alloying elements. The dependence of CPD on the dispersion of the structure is seen in both cases; however, it is more pronounced for 107WCR5 steel. The electron work function of the martensite, troostite, and sorbitol structures obtained as a result of heat treatment of steels 107WCR5 and CT105 is calculated. Discussion and Conclusions. The dependence of the contact potential difference on the structure, chemical and phase composition was experimentally established; the electron work function of steels 107WCR5 and CT105 was calculated. This technique is more sensitive to alloy steel samples than to carbon steel. It seems possible to conclude that the measurement of the contact potential difference can be used to control surfaces exposed to active media or elevated temperatures as a non-destructive express diagnostic method.

Excessively acidic soils account for one third of arable land in the Russian Federation (35.1 million ha). Over the post-reform period (1990–2019), the relative share of acidic soils increased by 2%, due to a sharp decrease in the area of liming, and thus restoration of acidic properties of genetically acidic soils previously limed, as well as the involvement in agricultural use of some abandoned fields and fallows covered by acidic soils. This paper demonstrates a new approach to prioritize areas for liming by the example of the Vladimir region. The study makes use of newly established database “Soils of agricultural lands in the Russian Federation” which includes 10,000 soil quality typological unites and 57,678 soil quality mapping units (SQMU). National “Grain equivalent model” calculates the standard yields for grain crops by each SQMU. The GIS analysis allows joining spatial distribution of soil acidity and standard yields of grains in order to determine the priority areas for lime application. Acidic soils with the highest grains standard yield are proposed to be considered as high-priority ones for liming. Application of the given method in two districts of the Vladimir region showed significant reduction in the payback period of liming.

The present paper deals with the use of cast iron cauldrons in medieval urban settlements east of the Carpathian, controlled by the Golden Horde, employing as a case study the archaeological finds uncovered within the medieval site of Old Orhei (Orheiul Vechi, Republic of Moldova). Therefore, the objective of the paper is to provide novel data on this category of cooking vessels, uncovered during archaeological excavations carried out within this site in the valley of Raut River, during the campaigns of 1947–2018. This information will complete the database on the morphology and chronology of cast iron vessels, as well as the territorial spread of this category of artifacts in the western part of the area ruled by the Golden Horde in the fourteenth century.

Introduction. Soy pulp, or okara, is a soy milk by-product. It contains a complex of valuable macro- and micronutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins. Recently, there has been a growing interest in replacing synthetic antioxidants with a mix of natural tocopherols. Soy beans and their by-products contain vitamin E and therefore can be used in food production, cosmetic, etc. Study objects and methods. The present research featured soy pulp. The content of tocopherols in the soy product was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using Sigma Aldrich standards and corresponding calibration dependencies. The research also involved spectrophotometry for determining tocopherols in standard solutions followed by chromatographic separation using fluorimetric detection. Results and discussion. To determine tocopherols in the okara, the test samples were treated with hexane. The filtered solution was exposed to low temperatures, after which the phases formed by centrifugation were separated. The samples were tested for all forms of tocopherols with the exception of β- and γ-forms. The chromatographic separation of the peaks of these forms was difficult due to the fact that their structural formulas were similar and differed only in the arrangement of methyl groups, i.e. the ortho- and paraposition. As a result, it was decided to determine the sum of the β- and γ-forms, which did not affect the objectivity of the analysis, since, according to published data, the content of β-tocopherol in soy products stays within 5%. Conclusion. The proposed method for sample preparation made it possible to improve the separation of the lipid fraction, which had a positive effect on the results of the analysis. The method also determined not only the quantitative, but also the qualitative content of tocopherols in the product. This reduced the risk of malfunctioning chromatographic equipment: the method proved more economical in terms of labor and reagent use. The obtained results corresponded to the existing scientific data on the content of tocopherols in soy products. The content of tocopherols in soy okara was 109 mg%.

Background. The development of new technologies of the directed synthesis and use of nanoparticles and nanomaterials with properties that are radically different from those of traditional materials, related to peculiarities of their dimensions and to the combination and variability range of physicochemical properties, parameters, characteristics of nanoparticles and their coating surface, procedures and manipulations when conducting studies, can result in development of quite different effects and risks.Objective. The purpose of the paper is analysis of the significance of dimensional and structural factors, and their combinations in the manifestation of toxicity and danger of nanomaterials based on published data.Methods. Analysis and systematization of scientific data on the assessment of manifestations of toxicity and hazard of nanomaterials over the past 20 years.Results. The transition of substances to the nanoscale state makes them chemically more active – the smaller the size of the nanoparticles, the stronger the effect they show in comparison with equivalent amounts of this substance in a traditional macro form. On contact with the biological environment, their surface is covered with proteins. When entering the body, they may undergo agglomeration, dissociation, or modification. Procedures and manipulations in the research can also affect the properties and, consequently, the toxicity of nanoparticles. Most nanoparticles are unstable in dispersion, prone to aggregation and sedimentation, which significantly affects the process of absorption of nanoparticles and their toxicity.Conclusions. The toxicity and danger of nanoparticles and nanomaterials depend on many factors and their combinations. The complexity of assessing the impact of nanostructures is determined by the range of variability of properties, chemical, geometric, physico-chemical properties and characteristics, size, surface of nanoparticles. The improvement and development of new approaches to identifying the danger of nanoscale objects is a promising direction of scientific investigations., Проблематика. Развитие новых технологий направленного синтеза и использования наночастиц и наноматериалов, свойства которых радикально отличаются от таковых у традиционных материалов и связаны с особенностями их размерности, а также c сочетанием и диапазоном вариабельности физико-химических свойств, параметров, характеристик наночастиц и поверхности их покрытия, процедур и манипуляций при проведении исследований, может привести к возникновению абсолютно разных эффектов и рисков.Цель.

Анализ и систематизация научных данных, посвященных оценке особенностей проявления токсичности и опасности наноматериалов, за последние 20 лет.Результаты. Переход веществ в наноразмерное состояние делает их химически более активными: чем меньше размер наночастиц, тем сильнее проявляемое ими действие по сравнению с эквивалентными количествами данного вещества в традиционной макроформе. При контакте с биологической средой их поверхность покрывается белками. При попадании в организм они могут подвергаться агломерации, диссоциации или модификации. Процедуры и манипуляции при проведении исследований также могут оказывать влияние на свойства, а следовательно, и на токсичность наночастиц. Большинство наночастиц нестабильны в дисперсии, склонны к агрегации и седиментации, что существенно влияет на процесс поглощения наночастиц и их токсичность.Выводы. Токсичность и опасность наночастиц и наноматериалов зависят от множества факторов и их сочетаний. Сложность оценки воздействия наноструктур определяется диапазоном вариабельнос­ти свойств, параметров, химических, геометрических и физико-химических характеристик, размера, поверхности наночастиц.

Introduction. The paper devotes to the features of hydration and hardening of polymineral composite binders. The authors carry out the complex research of the phase composition, hydration and structure formation processes of hardened composite binders with active mineral additives by X-ray phase analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and electron microscopy. The study using a Tescan MIRA 3 scanning electron microscope reveals differences in the microstructure of hardened binders and the authors confirm the results by microprobe studies. The authors study the hydration of the composite binder prepared on the basis of Portland cement and mineral components. Moreover, the paper demonstrates the dynamics of the system’s heat dissipation from the moment of mixing with water and hardening up to 24 hours and up to 72 hours by the expressed bond of dQ / dt = f (t) using a differential calorimeter.Methods and materials. The authors carried out experimental studies at Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov, at the Department of Building Materials, Products and Structures, at the High Technology Center and “BelGTASM-Certificate” Test Center. Therefore, the authors used the existing basic research methods, including modern physicochemical methods of analysis: X-ray phase, scanning electron microscopy, etc. The paper determined the main characteristics of raw materials, composite binders and foam concrete using standard methods and regulatory requirements.Results. The authors obtained the results that testified the peculiarities of hydration and hardening processes of polymineral composite binders on the basis of Portland cement and mineral additives: opoka marl and fly ash.Conclusion. The research establishes the hydration and hardening processes of polymineral composite binders. As a result, the authors demonstrate that the opoka marl introduced into the cement leads to the increased hydration in the induction and accelerated periods and also increases the hydration completeness of the main clinker minerals due to the manifestation of the pozzolanic reaction and the active binding of blocking Portlandite, as well as to the higher concentration of accumulated neoplasms, second generation calcium hydrosilicates.Financial transparency: the authors have no financial interest in the presented materials or methods. There is no conflict of interest.

Метановые сипы являются широко распространенным явлением, наблюдаемым на шельфах и континентальных склонах внутренних и окраинных морей по всему миру, в том числе и в море Лаптевых. Ключевыми биогеохимическими процессами, протекающими в донных осадках этих районов, являются анаэробное окисление метана в сочетании с бактериальной сульфатредукцией. Оба этих процесса контролируют образование специфической аутигенной минерализации. Целью настоящей работы являлось изучение аутигенных минералов донных осадков с аномально высокими концентрациями метана, отобранных на двух сиповых участках в северо-восточной части моря Лаптевых, для определения признаков их идентификации в древних осадочных породах. Приведены результаты литологических и минералогических исследований донных осадков. Было установлено, что основными аутигенными минералами в исследованных образцах донных осадков, отобранных с двух сиповых участков в северо-восточной части моря Лаптевых, являются магнезиальный кальцит, гипс и пирит. Разная специфика аутигенной минерализации, предположительно, указывает на различия в режимах миграции метан-содержащих флюидов на этих участках. Временное снижении интенсивности просачивания метана в пределах «восточного сипа» способствовало насыщению поровой воды ионами SO[4]{2-} и Ca{2+} и, как следствие, осаждению гипса. Близповерхностное положение сульфат-метановой транзитной зоны в «западном сипе», обусловленное высокими потоками метана, благоприятствовало осаждению магнезиального кальцита в верхних горизонтах донных осадков. Присутствие пирита в осадках как восточного, так западного сиповых участков является свидетельством активности процесса бактериальной сульфат-редукции при анаэробном окислении метана. Methane seeps is a widespread phenomenon observed on the shelves and continental slopes of inland and border seas around the world, including the Laptev Sea. Key biogeochemical processes occurring in the bottom sediments of these areas are the anaerobic oxidation of methane in combination with bacterial sulfate reduction. Both of these processes control the formation of specific autigenic mineralization. The aim of this work was to study authigenic minerals of bottom sediments with abnormally high concentrations of methane taken from two seeps in the north-eastern part of the Laptev Sea to determine the signs of their identification in ancient sedimentary rocks. The paper presents the results of lithological and mineralogical studies of bottom sediments. It was found that magnesium calcite, gypsum and pyrite are the main authigenic minerals in the studied samples of bottom sediments taken from two seeps in the north-eastern part of the Laptev Sea. The different specifics of authigenic mineralization indicate differences in conditions of migration of methane-containing fluids in these areas, presumably. Temporary decrease in the rate of methane seepage within the «eastern seep» contributed to the saturation of pore water with SO[4]{2-} and Ca{2+} and, as a consequence, gypsum deposition. The near-surface position of the sulfate-methane transition zone in the «western seep» due to high methane flows favored the precipitation of magnesian calcite in the upper horizons of bottom sediments. The presence of pyrite in sediments of eastern and western seep is evidence of the activity of the bacterial sulfate reduction during anaerobic methane oxidation.

В работе рассмотрены структурно-морфологические и бумагообразующие свойства целлюлозы, полученной сульфатным способом из древесины тропических пород – Bambusa blumeana и акация Acacia hybrid, местом произрастания которых является Вьетнам. Выполнено сравнение со свойствами целлюлозы из древесины традиционных северных лиственных (смесь березы и осины 50:50) и хвойных пород. Структурно-морфологические свойства определены на автоматическом анализаторе волокна L&W Fiber Tester. Цифровые микрофотографии получены на микроскопе «ImagerM2m Carl Zeiss». Исследованы образцы до и после размола на мельнице Йокро до степени помола 30 °ШР, для целлюлозы из акации – 20 °ШР. Установлено, что, по сравнению с лиственной целлюлозой, волокна бамбука более длинные (1,8 мм против 1,0 мм), с меньшей шириной (17 мкм против 26 мкм), более изогнутые (фактор формы 87,5 против 92,5) и имеют больше изломов (0,42 против 0,29). Волокна акации более короткие (0,9 мм против 1,0 мм), с меньшей шириной (19 мкм против 26 мкм), более изогнутые (фактор формы 91,6 против 92,5) и имеют больше изломов (0,44 против 0,29). По сравнению с хвойной целлюлозой волокна бамбука и акации более короткие с меньшей шириной, менее изогнутые и имеют больше изломов. Использование небеленой целлюлозы из бамбука и акации в композиции небеленых видов бумаги и картона не приведет к повышению их прочности и жесткости, но может использоваться для повышения эластичности и растяжимости, что должно быть установлено в дальнейших исследованиях., The paper considers the structural-morphological and papermaking properties of kraft pulp from tropical woods – Bambusa blumeana and Acacia hybrid, the place of growth of which is Vietnam. A comparison with the properties of traditional northern hardwood pulp (a mixture of birch and aspen 50:50) and softwood pulp was made. Structural and morphological properties are determined on an automatic fiber analyzer L&W Fiber Tester. Digital micrographs were taken with an ImagerM2m Carl Zeiss microscope. Samples were studied before and after refining at the Yokro mill to 30° SR, for acacia pulp – 20°SR. It was found that, compared with hardwood pulp, bamboo fibers are longer (1.8 mm vs 1.0 mm), with a smaller width (17 μm vs 26 μm), more curved (shape factor 87.5 vs 92.5) and have more kinks (0.42 versus 0.29). Acacia fibers are shorter (0.9 mm vs 1.0 mm), with a smaller width (19 μm vs 26 μm), more curved (shape factor 91.6 vs 92.5) and have more kinks (0.44 vs 0.29). Compared to softwood pulp, bamboo and acacia fibers are shorter with a smaller width, less curved and have more kinks. The use of unbleached pulp from bamboo and acacia in the furnish of unbleached types of paper and cardboard will not lead to an increase in their strength and stiffness, but can be used to increase elasticity and extensibility, which should be established in further studies., Известия СПбЛТА, Выпуск 231 2020

В статье рассматриваются изделия из цветного металла из раскопок на территории Тайницкого сада Московского Кремля 2007 г.

Вхождение Российской Федерации в Евразийский экономический союз обусловило ужесточение требований, предъявляемых к показателям безопасности алкогольной продукции, в том числе к упаковочным средствам. Алкогольные напитки хранятся и даже выдерживаются в упаковке, поэтому укупорочный материал – корковая пробка может существенно влиять на качество напитка. В связи с этим к корковым пробкам предъявляются требования безопасности в форме контроля содержания формальдегида. Существующие способы его идентификации достаточно трудоемки и весьма затратны, а также предусматривают использование дорогостоящего оборудования. Предлагаемый метод определения содержания формальдегида, выделяющегося из корковых пробок в модельные среды, разработан на основе мицеллярной электрокинетической капиллярной хроматографии с использованием процесса дериватизации контролируемого соединения раствором 2,4-динитрофенилгидразин (2,4-ДНФГ) в ацетонитриле, содержащем 5% уксусной кислоты. Для исследования использовали систему Капель 105, снабженную УФ-детектором с переменной длиной волны, кварцевые капилляры диаметром 75 мкм и общей длиной 60 см (50,5 см до детектора). Рабочие растворы формальдегида готовили ежедневно путем соответствующего разбавления образцов исходного раствора водой. Калибровочные графики были рассчитаны для шести концентраций – 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 и 100 мг/л стандартов в двух повторностях. В образцы – модельные среды, полученные при исследовании образцов корковых пробок, добавляли определенное количество стандартного раствора формальдегида и проводили процедуру дериватизации. УФ-детектирование производных 2,4-ДНФГ проводили при длине волны 360 нм. Результаты апробации метода представлены на электрофореграммах. Получена линейная зависимость между площадью пика и концентрацией формальдегида (R2 = 0,99). Разработанный метод определения содержания формальдегида малозатратен, отличается простой и высокой точностью и может быть рекомендован в качестве инструмента контроля безопасности корковых пробок в соответствии со стандартами Евразийского экономического союза., The entry of the Russian Federation into the Eurasian economic Union has led to stricter requirements for the safety indicators of alcoholic beverages, including packaging products. Alcoholic beverages are stored and even aged in the packaging, so the corking material – cork plugs can significantly affect the quality of the drink. In this regard, cork plugs are subject to safety requirements in the form of formaldehyde control. Existing methods for identifying it are quite time-consuming and very expensive, and also involve the use of expensive equipment. The proposed method for determining the content of formaldehyde released from cortical plugs into model media was developed on the basis of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography using the process of derivatization of a controlled compound with a solution of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) in acetonitrile containing 5% acetic acid. System Kapel 105 equipped with a UV-detector with a variable wavelength, quartz capillaries with a diameter of 75 microns and a total length of 60 cm (50,5 cm to the detector) were used for the study. Working solutions of formaldehyde were prepared daily by appropriately diluting the samples of the initial solution with water. Calibration graphs were calculated for six concentrations – 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 100 mg/l standards in two repetitions. A certain amount of standard formaldehyde solution was added to the sample – model media obtained during the study of cork plugs samples and a derivatization procedure was performed. UV detection of 2,4-DNPH derivatives was performed at a wavelength of 360 nm. The results of testing the method are presented on electrophoregrams. A linear relationship was obtained between the peak area and the formaldehyde concentration (R2 = 0,99). The developed method for determining the formaldehyde content is low-cost, simple and highly accurate, and can be recommended as a tool for monitoring the safety of cork plugs in accordance with the standards of the Eurasian economic Union., Известия вузов.

В статье публикуются материалы эпохи бронзы и раннего железного века из курганных могильников Успенский I и Успенский II (Новоалександровский район Ставропольского края). Из них два относятся к раннекатакомбному времени (втор. четв. III тыс. до н. э.), пять – к позднекатакомбному (третья четв. III тыс. до н. э.), одно – к сарматской культуре (II–I вв. до н. э.), достоверная датировка еще двух погребений невозможна. Из погребений эпохи средней бронзы наибольший интерес представляет серия позднекатакомбных комплексов, соединяющая в себе элементы восточноманычской, батуринской и суворовской традиций, что связано с местоположением изученных могильников в контактной зоне трех указанных культурных феноменов. Сарматское погребение, являясь довольно типичным для своего культурного круга, выделяется наличием редкой разновидности культового сосуда – курильницы., The paper publishes materials of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age from two burial grounds, namely, Uspenskiy I and Uspenskiy II (Novoaleksandrovsk district of the Stavropol region). Two assemblages are dated to the Early Catacomb period (the second quarter of 3rd mill. BC) whereas five assemblages are dated to the Late Catacomb period (third quarter of 3rd mill. BC), one assemblage is attributed to the Sarmatian culture (2nd – 1st century BC). Reliable dating of two more burials is not possible. A series of Late Catacomb assemblages that combine elements of the Eastern Manych, Baturin and Suvorovskaya traditions explained by the location of the excavated cemeteries in the contact zone between these three cultures is of the greatest interest. While being rather typical for its cultural circle, the Sarmatian grave is notable for presence of a rare type of a ritual vessel – incense-burner., Краткие сообщения Института археологии (КСИА), Выпуск 258 2020

В статье вводится в научный оборот новый комплекс кобанской культуры – клад с горы Стрижамент (Ставропольский край). В бронзовом сосуде были обнаружены бронзовые очковидная подвеска, ажурная колоколовидная подвеска, подвеска в виде миниатюрного сосуда. Клад, безусловно, имел культовый характер. Комплекс может быть датирован в рамках X – перв. пол. VIII в. до н. э. Это один из древнейших (если не самый ранний) кобанских памятников на территории Став­ропольской возвышенности, маркер перемещения раннекобанских племен на север., The paper introduces a new assemblage of the Koban culture, which is a hoard found on Mount Strizhament(Stavropolregion). Bronze items, including a bispiral pendant, an openwork bell-shaped pendant, a pendant shaped as a miniature vessel – were placed in a bronze vessel. Without any doubt, the hoard was amassed for cult purposes. The assemblage can be dated to the 10th – first half of the 8th centuries BC. It is one of the earliest (if not the earliest) Koban assemblages in the Stavropol Upland and should be regarded as a marker of movements of the Early Koban population groups to the north., Краткие сообщения Института археологии (КСИА), Выпуск 259 2020

В статье рассмотрен неординарный состав толстостенного шлифованного кубка второй половины IV - начала V в., изготовленного из темно-зеленого стекла. Он отличается от синхронных аналогий из ареала черняховской культуры и с территории римских провинций. При этом он наиболее близок составу аналогичного по цвету стекла сосудов I в. н. э. Предположительно, при изготовлении этого кубка было вторично использовано стекло сосудов более раннего периода. Наиболее вероятным местом производства кубка представляются европейские провинции Римской империи; при этом нельзя исключить мастерские, расположенные за римским лимесом, на варварской территории., The paper reviews an unusual composition of a thick-walled facet cut beaker dating to the second half of the 4 - early 5 centuries which is made from emerald green glass. It differs from contemporary analogies coming from the Chernyakhov culture area and the Roman provinces. The closest composition has been identified for the glass of vessels of similar color dating to the 1 century AD. Presumably, the glass of earlier vessels was recycled to fabricate the discussed beaker. European provinces of the Roman Empire appear to be the most likely place where this beaker was made; yet the workshops located beyond the Roman limes in the areas inhabited by the barbarians cannot be excluded either., Краткие сообщения Института археологии (КСИА), Выпуск 261 2020, Pages 203-220

The paper contains results of investigations on structure and tribotechnical properties of chromium coatings formed by a method of electrodeformation cladding with flexible tools (EDCFT). The purpose of these investigations is to assess prospects for application of the coatings as an alternative to galvanic chrome plating which is widely used in manufacturing hydraulic cylinder rods of metal-cutting machines. Rotary metal brushes with a wire pile made of 65Г-steel and 03Х17Н14М2-stainless steel have been used as a flexible tool. A compacted bar obtained by sintering a mixture of pure chromium powders and a nano-sized diamond-graphite blend UDDG has been employed as a donor material for EDCFT. According to results of the research it has been established that alloying elements of wire pile such as chromium and nickel are added to a coating composition while forming coatings a stainless steel brush. So in the case of using brushes with wire pile of 03X17H14M2-stainless steel the amount of chromium and nickel in a clad coating layer is 5.3 and 9.6 times higher in percentage, respectively, in comparison with the coating formed by a 65Г-steel brush that can contribute to improvement of coating corrosion resistance. At the same time, surface relief of the coating has a developed rough structure consisting of chromium microparticles having various size that are tightly packed and elongated in the direction of brush rotation and there are no flaws in the form of discontinuities and delaminations. Tribological tests have been performed under conditions of “boundary lubrication” on a rotary friction machine that implements friction of a rubber indenter on a flat surface of a rotating disk. According to data of the tribotechnical tests it has been ascertained that under conditions of “boundary friction” for such paired samples as “coated disc – rubber roller” chromium coatings formed by the EDCFT method, have the lowest values of a sliding friction coefficient (fтр = 0.023) which are 7.5 times lower than chromium coatings obtained by electroplating. At the same time the wear of rubber rollers in pairs with electroplated chromium coatings has turned out to be less than in pairs with the coating formed by the EDCFT method.

During the research conducted at the All-Russian Research Institute for Starch Products there has been developed a technological mode of using cellulolytic enzymes to reduce the viscosity of grain pulp obtained by grinding naked oat grains soaked in a sodium metabisulphite solution. As the experimental data had been processed, the optimum technological parameters of the process were determined: the consumption of the enzyme preparation Viscoferm was 200 g/t of grain and the dura-tion of fermentation by constant stirring for 2.5 hours at pH 4.6 and temperature 50°C. Under laboratory conditions there has been studied the possibility of starch processing of naked oat grain samples Vyatka, Percheron, 857h05, 766 h05 varieties grown in the Federal Agricultural Research Center of the North-East named N.V. Rudnitsky. Technological assessment based on grain processing in the laboratory using the “plant on the table” method has shown that the yield of coarse-grained starch A in the processing of naked oat using cellulolytic enzymes is 51.4-53.9%, i.e. higher than that of filmy oats, rye Falenskaya 4 and Vyatka 2, wheat and triticale. Low starch content in fiber (7.7-8.7% dry substances DS of fiber) was found in comparison with the results obtained from the processing of filmy oats, Falenskaya and Vyatka 2 rye varieties, wheat and triticale (11.2 - 13.9% DS of fiber). Fiber output by the processing of naked oats is 7.3 - 8.8% DS of grain, by the processing of other types of grain 10.3 - 17.5% DS of grain. The yield of small-grain starch B in the processing of the studied varieties of naked oat is 19.2 - 20.8% DS of grain, that is higher than this value obtained by processing of filmy oats and wheat, but lower than by pro-cessing of rye and triticale. Isolated carbohydrate-protein concentrate, including starch B and proteins, is recommended for use with the extract and fiber as a component for the production of feed.

Рассмотрены процесс сублимации сухого льда и распределение температур внутри гранулы диоксида углерода при нестационарном режиме теплопередачи в пористом материале, в качестве которого использовали мятку подсолнечника температурой 19C и массой 30 г. Основой исследования был ряд экспериментов, позволяющих сформировать зависимости изменения массы гранул СО2 во времени с учетом влияния заданных внешних факторов на процесс сублимации. Для минимизации погрешностей при оценке времени сублимации в эксперименте отбирали пеллеты диоксида углерода длиной 20 мм и массой 2 г. Эксперимент проводили в двух вариантах, меняя воздействие окружающей среды на процесс сублимации: теплопередача посредством конвективного теплообмена в среде покоящегося воздуха и теплопередача в засыпке гранулы пористым материалом. Обработка результатов экспериментальных исследований проведена методами математического моделирования с использованием вычислительного пакета Mathcad. Показана возможность формирования достоверной модели с заменой параболического уравнения уравнением пробной функции, определяемой уравнением теплопроводности Фурье для одномерного тела, дальнейшее решение которого осуществлено полуаналитическим методом Галеркина. Доказано соответствие полученных регрессионных уравнений экспериментальным исследованиям. В результате исследования математической модели получены данные о динамике перемещения границы раздела фаз для пеллет цилиндрической формы. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для расчетов режимов современного прессового оборудования., The process of sublimation of dry ice and the temperature distribution inside the carbon dioxide granules at a nonstationary heat transfer mode in a porous material, which was used as a sunflower mint at a temperature of 19C and a mass of 30 g, are considered. Experiments allowing to form dependences of changes in the mass of CO2 granules in time taking into account the influence of specified external factors on the sublimation process were the basis of the study. To minimize errors in the estimation of sublimation time, carbon dioxide pellets with a length of 20 mm and a mass of 2 g were selected in the experiment. The experiment was carried out in two versions, changing the effect of the environment on the sublimation process: heat transfer by means of convective heat transfer in a medium of resting air and heat transfer in the filling of the granule with a porous material. Processing of the results of experimental studies carried out by methods of mathematical modeling using a computational package Mathcad. The possibility of forming a reliable model with the replacement of the parabolic equation by the equation of the trial function determined by the Fourier heat equation for a onedimensional body, the further solution of which is carried out by the semianalytical Galerkin method, is shown. The correspondence of the obtained regression equations to experimental studies is proved. As a result of the study of the mathematical model, data on the dynamics of the phase boundary movement for cylindrical pellets are obtained. The results of the study can be used to calculate the modes of modern press equipment., №4(370) (2019)

Обобщены данные аналитического изучения цветного металла ямной культурно исторической области двух ареалов западного (Северное Причерноморье) и восточного (Южный Урал и Среднее Притоболье) методами спектрального, атомно эмиссионного, микрорентгеноспектрального, металлографического анализов. Приведенные материалы показали существование двух различных моделей металлопроизводства ямных племен, объясняющихся направленностью векторов историко металлургических контактов, наличием доступной рудной базы, сохранением традиционных технологий или же выработкой инновационных методов обработки мышьяковой бронзы. Черты определенного технологического сходства между уральской и причерноморской металлообработкой прослежены лишь на ранней стадии развития северопричерноморского центра металлопроизводства. Металлопроизводство ямных племен Северного Причерноморья в последующем демонстрирует иные технологические традиции получения орудий и украшений из низколегированной мышьяковой бронзы, поступающей из западных сырьевых источников. Уральские мастера использовали приемы литья крупных орудий из местной каргалинской окисленной меди в открытые и составные закрытые формы с высокотемпературными режимами термообработки., The paper summarizes data from the analytical studies of non ferrous metal in two areas of the Yamnaya (Pitgrave) culture, i. e. the western area (the North Pontic region) and the eastern area (the Southern Urals and the Middle Tobol basin). Methods of spectral, atomic emission, electron microprobe and metallographic analyses were employed. The materials described demonstrate existence of two different metal production models used by the Yamnaya population. The difference in the models is stipulated by different directions of historical and metallurgical contacts, availability of accessible ore deposits, maintenance of traditional technologies or development of innovation methods of arsenical bronze production. Certain technological similarities between the Urals and the North Pontic metalworking were identified only for the early development stage of the North Pontic center of metal production. In the subsequent period metal production of the Yamnaya population groups which lived in the North Pontic region demonstrates other technological traditions of producing tools and jewelry from low alloyed arsenical bronze that came from western raw material sources. The Urals craftsmen employed techniques of casting heavy tools from local Kargaly oxidized copper in open and composite closed moulds with high temperature modes of heat treatment., №256 (2019)

Introduction. The processes of structure formation of cement compositions and the development of effective technologies of building materials is an urgent task for building material science. The use of large-scale man-made product of pulp and paper enterprises – osprey as a fibrous filler in organic and mineral compositions is the successful decision of the problem. The paper analyzes the ways of using osprey in the building materials’ production. The aim of the research is to study the osprey influence on the processes of structure formation of cement stone by quantitative x-ray phase analysis.Materials and methods. The organic and mineral compositions were obtained on the basis of portland cement and osprey. The authors studied the compositions’ phase of osprey, portland cement and the processes of cement stone structure formation in organ and mineral compositions by quantitative x-ray phase analysis.Results. The authors determined the compositions’ phase of mineral impurities of osprey, cellulose, cement, cement stone, organic and mineral compositions and two compositions containing 25 and 75% by weight.Discussion and conclusions. The osprey application as a filler in the organic and mineral composition causes inhibition of processes of cement hydration. The presence of osprey in the hardening organic and mineral composition leads to a change in the composition and structure of the cement stone in comparison with the phase composition of the cement stone without additives. The result of these changes is a significant increase in the amount of calcite, waterite and a significant decrease in the amount of portland. The authors establish that the effective joint work of the reinforcing component of the osprey with the cement matrix is possible with a limited amount of osprey in organic and mineral compositions.

The paper discusses the results of long-term research in the competitive variety testing of the sainfoin variety ‘Shuravi’, introduced into the State List of breeding achievements and approved for use in 2019 in the North Caucasus and Nizhne-Volga regions of Russia.The sainfoin variety ‘Shuravi’ is a complex hybrid species obtained by the methods of individual-family selection and polycross followed by massive negative selection. According to the most morphological and biological characteristics, the variety has been assigned to the Transcaucasian species. The plants are of tall height (95-105 cm). The bush is semi-upright (40%), upright (40%) and semi-sprawling (20%). The root system is vertical with a well-defined main root. The stalk is rough, thick and hollow inside. The kernels are of medium size, mainly with spines. 1000 kernel weight is 18–20 g. The vegetation period ‘sprouts – full ripeness’ is 85–90 days, and the mowing ripeness of the green mass is 45–55 days. According to resistance to major diseases, the variety is not inferior to the standard variety ‘Zernogradsky 2’. The productivity of ‘Shuravi’ green mass during the State variety testing was on 9.6% higher than that of the standard variety, dry matter was on 14.7% higher and seed productivity was on 17.6% higher. In the following years of study in a competitive variety testing, the variety ‘Shuravi’ exceeded the standard variety on 10.3% in green mass productivity and on 9.8% in dry matter. According to the yield of fodder units per 1 hectare, raw and digestible protein, the variety exceeded the standard on 17.0, 15.7 and 16.1% respectively. Exchange energy content per 1 kg of dry matter and supply of a fodder unit with digestible protein in the variety ‘Shuravi’ was at the standard level.The use of the sainfoin variety ‘Shuravi’ as a green fertilizer makes it possible to cover fresh standard organic matter on 9.8–14.7% and nitrogen on 1.8–2.4 kg more compared with the standard; the percentage of phosphorus and potassium is the same as with the standard variety ‘Zernogradsky 2’. In general, when using sainfoin green mass as green manure, soil is supplied with much more such basic nutrients as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium than when applying the same amount of good quality manure.

The paper considers a mathematical model which is used to study a composite material similar in structure to asphalt concrete and it takes into account presence of solid particles of different sizes and a soft and plastic binder. The twodimensional method of discrete elements has been applied to investigate destruction of asphalt-concrete samples under uniaxial compression, tension during splitting and compression by the Marshall method. The numerical model takes into account presence of large particles of rubble, asphalt mastic filling rubble pores and sticky (capable of recovering after rupture) communication between rubble particles. The force interaction between various components of the asphalt concrete has been described with the help of elastic repulsion between rubble particles, friction force and force responsible for sticking of particles due to presence of a binder. This model gives a correct fracture pattern for uniaxial compression, stretching during splitting and compression according to the Marshall method and this pattern coincides with the real experiment. It is the correct picture of destruction for three different schemes of material loading which makes it possible to assess the adequacy of the mathematical model which has been used. Basic physico mechanical characteristics of the binder which determine strength and deformability of asphalt concrete have been established in the paper. It has been shown that for an adequate description of physico mechanical characteristics for asphalt concrete it is necessary to study and measure properties of an asphalt binder that is a mixture of bitumen and fine mineral filler which determines parameters of interaction between rubble particles. The numerical experiments serve as a basis and make it possible to propose new laboratory methods for testing a mixture of stone materials and organic binders which are much simpler and, therefore, cheaper than standard tests on asphalt concrete. In addition these tests will more accurately predict behavior of asphalt concrete in real conditions.

One of the most common methods of preserving apple pomace in order to further obtain products with a high content of biologically active substances is drying. For the experiment, a method of drying with superheated steam of reduced pressure in a pulsed vibro boiling layer was chosen, since it allows improving the quality of the finished product by lowering the temperature of the drying agent, thereby retaining a significant amount of nutrients in the original product. To study the kinetic and hydrodynamic dependences of the drying process, an experimental setup has been developed and created, which allows to obtain the most accurate and reproducible results. According to the results of the experiments done, the drying curves, the drying rate curves and the heating curves were constructed. The technological modes of operation of the drying unit are determined, ensuring a minimum of the specific energy consumption of the drying process and the maximum moisture stress of the drying chamber. In addition to the experiment on drying apple pomace, a study was also conducted on the content of pectic substances in dried pomace. To determine the amount of pectin and protopectin, the calcium-pectate method was used. During the experiment, it was found that with the proposed method of drying, the yield of pectin substances is increased compared with traditional methods. Histograms of the content of pectin and protopectin were constructed depending on the method of drying. A comparative analysis of the content of pectin and protopectin was carried out depending on the drying mode for apple pomace and sugar beet pulp. The conclusion is made about the increased thermolability of protopectin in apple pomace compared to sugar beet pulp.

Red Muds (R.M.) – waste of bauxite reprocessing by the Bayer's method include many rare elements, such as Gallium, Titanium, Zirconium, Rare Earth Elements and Scandium, concentration of which in its reached 130 g/t. In the problem solving of Scandium extraction from R.M. get a two directions: immediate leaching of Scandium from R.M. and in passing Scandium recovery under complexing processing of R.M. The method of carbonate leaching of Scandium from R.M., which was work out in Institute of Solid State Chemistry Russian Academy of Sciences Urals Branch, include saturation by carbon dioxide of alkaline solutions, obtained after water process of R.M. and allow up to 20 % Scandium recovery in solutions. It is not effective for work out of technological scheme of R.M. processing. In recent paper, the chemical aspects of carbonate leaching of Scandium from R.M. in heterogeneous systems solid – liquid – gas carbon dioxide were investigated to determine of conditions for more Scandium recovery from R.M. It was shown, that Scandium leaching by aqueous sodium solutions without carbon dioxide gives small recovery yield and accompanied by alkaline hydrolysis under high pH in concentrated Na2CO3 solutions. Under saturation by carbon dioxide of carbonate R.M. pulp, the hydrolytic polymerization of hydroxocarbonates of Scandium and Aluminum in presence of carbonic acid proton take place. In the both process secondary precipitates are settle down and reduce of Scandium recovery yield. For increase of Scandium recovery from R.M. it is necessary to exclude the secondary precipitates under carbonate leaching with saturation by carbon dioxide.

При обработке черного щелока сульфат-целлюлозного производства серной кислотой (с целью частичного или полного высаждения сульфатного лигнина) происходит выделение сероводорода и других серосодержащих газов. Рассмотрен процесс поглощения этих газов путем абсорбции водным раствором гидроксида натрия. Процесс подкисления черного щелока серной кислотой сопровождается выделением сероводорода, который должен подвергаться абсорбции. Промышленные методы получения сульфатного лигнина предусматривают применение абсорбции сероводорода водными растворами гидроксида натрия. В качестве абсорбентов при поглощении серосодержащих газов применяют растворы щелочи или воду в зависимости от состава сероводородных газов и дальнейшего использования продуктов абсорбции. Водные растворы гидроксида натрия применяются для абсорбции в тех случаях, когда обработке подвергаются значительные объемы газов, содержащих преимущественно сероводород. При этом в процессе абсорбции получается раствор сульфида натрия. В случае подкисления черного щелока серной кислотой абсорбции подвергается сероводород, который содержит и другие примеси. Для того чтобы абсорбция сероводорода гидроксидом натрия прошла с образованием конечного продукта сульфида натрия, необходимо использовать определенную концентрацию щелочи. Для достижения необходимого результата использовался симплекс-метод по целочисленной матрице, который позволил выбрать оптимальные параметры проведения процесса абсорбции сероводорода гидроксидом натрия. В результате получен раствор белого щелока с высокой сульфидностью, что является положительной характеристикой процесса варки сульфатной целлюлозы, так как уменьшает продолжительность варки до определенной степени провара, облегчает процесс делигнификации, а также увеличивает выход целлюлозы. Это позволяет уменьшить расход реагентов при приготовлении белого щелока, подаваемого на варку технологической щепы. По предложенному методу осаждение лигноуглеводного комплекса из черного щелока проводят без применения содорегенерационных котлов, где процесс получения белого щелока связан с получением плава щелочей и последующим получением из него зеленого щелока, с дальнейшей регенерацией белого щелока, используемого для варки сульфатной целлюлозы. В результате установлена принципиальная возможность абсорбции сероводорода раствором гидроксида с выполнением требований, предъявляемых к белому щелоку., While black liquor from sulfate pulp process treatment with sulfuric acid (for partial or full sulfate lignin precipitation) emission of hydrosulfide and other sulfur containing gasses happens. It is reviewed process of the gasses absorption by sodium hydroxide solution. The process of acidification of black liquor with sulfuric acid is accompanied by the release of hydrogen sulfide, which must undergo absorption. Industrial methods for producing sulphate lignin involve the use of hydrogen sulfide absorption by aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide. Alkali solutions or water are used as absorbents for absorption of sulfur-containing gases, depending on the composition of hydrogen sulfide gases and the further use of absorption products. Aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide are used for absorption in cases where significant volumes of gases containing predominantly hydrogen sulfide are processed. In the process of absorption is obtained a solution of sodium sulfide. In the case of acidification of black liquor with sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide is subjected to absorption, which contains other impurities. In order for the absorption of hydrogen sulfide by sodium hydroxide to form the final product of sodium sulfide, it is necessary to use a certain concentration of alkali. To achieve the required results, a simplex method was used for the integer matrix, which allows choosing the optimal parameters for the process of hydrogen sulfide absorption by sodium hydroxide. As a result of the experiment, a solution of white liquor with high sulfidity is obtained. which is a positive characteristic of the sulphate pulp boiling process, as it reduces the cooking time to a certain degree of penetration, facilitates the delignification process, and also increases the cellulose yield. This allows reducing the consumption of reagents in the preparation of white liquor fed to the cooking chips. According to the proposed method, the precipitation of the black liquor lignohydrocarbon complex is carried out without the use of soda recovery boilers, where the process of obtaining white liquor is associated with obtaining alkaline water and subsequent production of green liquor from it, with further regeneration of white liquor used for cooking sulphate pulp. As a result of the experiment, the principal possibility of hydrogen sulfide absorption by a hydroxide solution was established with the fulfillment of the requirements for white liquor., №226 (2019)

Проведено исследование фракционного состава и физико-механических свойств беленой химико-термомеханической массы (БХТММ) из древесины тополя и её влияния на механические показатели бумаги в композиции с вторичным волокном, полученным из макулатуры марки МС-5Б. Новизной и особенностью рассматриваемой БХТММ является ее получение по экструзивной технологии, принципиально отличающейся от классической операции предварительной обработки древесины в виде щепы и превращения ее в волокноподобную костру для последующих ступеней размола. Исследованная БХТММ из древесины тополя при степени помола не ниже 40 оШР имеет физико- механические показатели, сравнимые с вторичным волокном, полученным из макулатуры марки МС-5Б. Ее добавки в волокнистую композицию бумаги для гофрирования и картона-лайнера для плоских слоев гофрированного картона целесообразны в интервале 30–50%. Небеленая ХТММ, получаемая по экструзивной технологии, в качестве первичного высококачественного целлюлозного волокнистого полуфабриката может эффективно использоваться в производстве гофрированной тары. Экструзивная технология является перспективной для переработки неликвидной древесины и отходов лесопромышленных предприятий и рекомендуется для использования в России., In this paper, the study of the fractional composition and physico-mechanical properties of bleached chemical-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMM) from poplar wood and the effect on the mechanic properties of paper from composites with recycled fiber from MS-5B paper was conducted. The novelty and feature of BCTMM is its production using extrusion technology, which is fundamentally different from the classical operations of pretreatment of wood in the form of chips and turning it into a fiber-like scutch for subsequent grinding steps. The studied BCTMM from wood of poplar with a degree of grinding not lower than 40 оSR has physical and mechanical properties comparable to the secondary fiber of MS-5B waste paper. Its additives to the fibrous composition of paper for corrugation and cardboard-liner for flat layers of corrugated cardboard are expedient in the range of 30–50%. Unbleached CTMM obtained by extrusion technology, as a primary high-quality cellulosic fiber semi- finished product can be effectively used in the manufacture of corrugated packaging. Extrusive technology is promising for the processing of illiquid wood and waste of timber industry enterprises and is recommended for use in Russia., №226 (2019)

The paper presents the results of experiments to improve the performance of insulating paper as a component of high-voltage paper-impregnated insulation by introducing the modifying additive into the paper mass. Environmentally safe and economically feasible method of obtaining modifying additives of the chitin-glucan complex of Aspergillus niger (A.n.) which is a large-tonnage waste production of citric acid is proposed. The modifying additive was introduced into the paper mass in an amount of 5–10% to the mass of absolutely dry fiber of sulfate insulating cellulose. The paper samples were subjected to accelerated thermal aging at 140°C for 250 hours. The values of the short – term electrical strength of the samples with the modifying additive, both in the initial and in the aged state, exceeded the similar characteristic of the paper sample without additives. for the paper made of 100% cellulose after 250 hours of accelerated thermal aging the maximal mechanical tensile strength decreased by 2.1 times; for paper containing 5% HGC A.n. – by 1.5 times and for the insulating paper, which was introduced into 10% of the modifying additive, the specified parameter during the test has not changed. Comparative evaluation of the sorption activity of the cellulose component was carried out by determining the light transmission coefficient of transformer oil relative to the standard at the process of thermal aging. It was found that the modification of insulating paper by biopolymer also increases its sorption activity in relation to the products of destruction of paper-impregnated insulation components under the catalytic effect of copper., В работе представлены результаты экспериментов по улучшению эксплуатационных характеристик электроизоляционной бумаги, как компонента высоковольтной бумажно-пропитанной изоляции, за счет введения в бумажную массу модифицирующей добавки. Предложен экологически безопасный и экономически целесообразный способ получения модифицирующей добавки из хитин-глюканового комплекса Aspergillus niger (ХГК A.n.) – многотоннажного отхода производства лимонной кислоты. Модифицирующую добавку вводили в бумажную массу в количестве 5–10% к массе абсолютно сухого волокна сульфатной электроизоляционной целлюлозы. Образцы бумаги подвергали ускоренному термическому старению при температуре 140°С в течение 250 ч. Значения кратковременной электрической прочности образцов бумаги с модифицирующей добавкой как в исходном, так и в состаренном состоянии превосходили аналогичную характеристику образца бумаги без добавок. Введение в состав целлюлозной основы модифицирующей добавки способствовало повышению нагревостойкости бумаги, сохраняя показатель механической прочности на высоком уровне в процессе длительного термического старения: у бумаги из 100% целлюлозы после 250 ч ускоренного термического старения предел механической прочности на разрыв снизился в 2.1 раза; у бумаги, содержащей 5% ХГК А.n. – в 1.5 раза, а у бумаги, в состав которой было введено 10% модифицирующей добавки, указанный показатель за время испытаний не изменился. Сравнительная оценка сорбционной активности целлюлозного компонента проводилась путем определения коэффициента светопропускания трансформаторного масла относительно эталона в процессе термического старения. Установлено, что модификация электроизоляционной бумаги биополимером также повышает ее сорбционную активность по отношению к продуктам деструкции компонентов бумажно-пропитанной изоляции в условиях каталитического влияния меди.

Актуальность. Минеральный состав глин тавдинской свиты изучался неоднократно. Полученные результаты, содержащиеся в геологических отчетах и немногочисленных опубликованных работах, зачастую слабо коррелируются друг с другом. Подобное противоречие вызвано отбором проб для технологических испытаний с различных участков, которые относятся к двум подсвитам, имеющим ряд отличий. Возраст, стратиграфическое положение и химико-минералогические особенности пород, слагающих тавдинскую свиту, остаются дискуссионными и актуальными вопросами, что требует дополнительных исследований. Детальное изучение литологии глин тавдинской свиты принимает важное значение в связи с планами по расширению сырьевой базы и потребностью перепрофилизации части производственных мощностей на выпуск новой товарной продукции. Цель работы: изучение вещественного состава глин тавдинской свиты эоцена Западной Сибири для выявления их генезиса и практического использования Методы: полевые исследования, рентгеноструктурный анализ, рентгенофлуоресцентный анализ, определение огнеупорности, масс-спектрометрия с индуктивно-связанной плазмой, сканирующая электронная микроскопия, литолого-петрографический анализ в шлифах. Результаты. Представлены результаты исследований химического и минерального составов, особенностей литологии и микростроения глинистых пород из Кыштырлинского участка (Тюменская область). Глинистые породы обладают определенной вариативностью минерального состава, но неизменным остается глинистый слюдистый смешаннослойно-смектитовый матрикс. В нижней подсвите глинистая масса пород сложена преимущественно иллитом и смешанослойными образованиями иллит-смектитового состава. Глины верхней подсвиты больше соответствуют каолинит-иллит-монтмориллонитовому типу с примесями пирита, минералов кремнезёма, сульфатов, карбонатов и органического вещества. Формирование таких смешаннослойных масс, вероятно, обусловлено трансформацией обломочных минералов и первичного глинистого субстрата. Установленное распределение редкоземельных элементов индицирует существенные изменения в восстановительно-окислительных условиях морского бассейна на различных этапах его существования. Изученные глины рассматриваются как полиминеральные. Relevance. Mineral composition of Tavda formation clays has been studied repeatedly. The results obtained in geological reports and few published works are often poorly correlated with each other. Such a contradiction is caused by sampling for technological tests from different areas, which belong to two subformations, which have a number of differences. The age, stratigraphic position, and chemical and mineralogical features of the Tavda formation remain debatable and relevant issues, which requires additional study. A detailed study of the lithology of Tavda formation clays assumes importance in relation to the plans to expand the resource base and the need to re- profile the part of manufacturing capacity for the production of new commercial products. The main aim of the research is precise studies of material composition of the bulk samples from the lower and upper subformations of the Tavda formation Methods: field studies, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence analysis, determination of refractoriness, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, lithological and petrographic analysis in thin sections. Results. The paper presents the results of the studies of chemical and mineralogical compositions, features of lithology and microstructure of clay rocks from the Kyshtyrlinskiy site (Tyumen region). Clay rocks have a certain variability of mineral composition: but the clay mica mixed-layer-smectite matrix is constant. In the lower part, the clay rock mass is composed mainly of mica and mixed-layer illite-smectite formations. The upper subformation clays are more closely related to the kaolin-mica-montmorillonite type with admixtures of pyrite, silica, sulfates, carbonates and organic substances. The formation of such mixed-layer masses is probably due to degradation of detrital minerals and the primary clay substrate. The established distribution of rare earth elements indicates significant changes in the redox conditions of the marine basin at various stages of its existence. The studied clay is considered as bentonite-like.

В статье рассмотрены различные подходы к пониманию природы связей в целлюлозно-волокнистых системах. Анализ результатов многочисленных исследований показывает, что при изготовлении высокотехнологичных целлюлозно-бумажных изделий необходимо учитывать специфику процессов структурообразования в дисперсных системах, дисперсионной средой в которых является вода или её растворы, на каждом этапе в многоступенчатых системах химической переработки растительного сырья. В статье освещаются особенности диалектики развития прикладной науки (отрицание отрицания) и её влияние на решение проблем отечественной научной школы текстильной и целлюлозно-бумажной промышленности. Выделение физикохимии растворов высокомолекулярных соединений из коллоидной химии в отдельную науку явилось причиной создания теоретических основ технологии искусственных волокон и целлюлозно-бумажного производства. Игнорирование научных положений о структурообразовании дисперсных систем с точки зрения фазового взаимодействия их компонентов и релаксационного состояния является причиной сдерживания прогресса в совершенствовании технологических процессов целлюлозно-бумажного производства. Разработанные теоретические основы получения дисперсных структур с заданными механическими свойствами не были доведены до создания моделей технологических процессов, необходимых для изготовления отечественного технологического оборудования. Таким образом, исключение представлений коллоидной химии и её раздела – физико-химической механики из повседневной практики целлюлозно- бумажного производства препятствуют целенаправленному решению проблем при получении высокотехнологичных материалов., The article deals with different approaches to understanding the nature of bonds in cellulose-fibrous systems. Analysis of the results of numerous studies shows that in the manufacture of high-tech pulp and paper products it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the processes of structure formation in dispersed systems, the dispersion medium in which is water or its solutions, at each stage in multi-stage systems of chemical processing of vegetable raw materials. The article highlights the features of dialectics of applied science (denial of negation) and its impact on solving the problems of the domestic scientific school of textile and pulp and paper industry. The separation of physical chemistry of solutions of high-molecular compounds from colloidal chemistry into a separate science was the reason for the creation of the theoretical foundations of the technology of artificial fibers and pulp and paper production. Ignoring the scientific provisions on the structure formation of dispersed systems from the point of view of the phase interaction of their components and the relaxation state is the reason for holding back progress in improving the technological processes of pulp and paper production. The developed theoretical basis for obtaining dispersed structures with specified mechanical properties were not brought to the creation of models of technological processes necessary for the manufacture of domestic technological equipment. Thus, the exclusion of colloidal chemistry, and its section – physical and chemical mechanics, from the daily practice of pulp and paper production prevents the purposeful solution of problems in the production of high-tech materials., №225 (2018)

Objectives At present, the urgency of scientific research aimed at reducing the material consumption of building structures is growing. Since foam concrete proved to be an effective material for wall structures, the aim of the present work was to develop scientific ideas about features of their macrostructural formation at the “viscous to solid” phase transition.Methods The evaluation of plastic strength was carried out according to the patent for invention No. 2316750 (“Method for determining the plastic strength of foam concrete mix” registered in the State Register of Inventions of the Russian Federation on February 10, 2008). Synthetic PO-3NP (TU 38-00-058079999-20-93) and "Arecom-4" galipot glue analogue (TU 31-10) were used as foam generation agents. Control over the kinetics of the plastic strength of the test mixtures of equal density was carried out in five-litre vessels at an interval of 15 minutes for three hours.Results The paper considers the most important features of mass transfer, which control the formation of defectiveness for interporal partitions in foam concrete. From the analysis of theoretical and experimental data, it follows that the ratio between water and surfactant consumption is an important tool for managing the quality of foam concrete mixes. Definingthe optimal relationship between water consumption and the amount of foaming agent allows the maximum amount of surfactants to be located at the gas-liquid interface ensuring minimal defect in the structure of the interporal partitions in the cured concrete.Conclusion The theoretical and experimental studies carried out make it possible to consider the relationship between the consumption of water and surfactant as an important tool for controlling the structural and mechanical properties in foam concrete mixes.

This paper is aimed at scrutinizing the dependence between the morphological features of the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population and the geographical and bioclimatic conditions in the Altai valleys and intermountain basins. Across the territory of the Altai highlands, we have identified several local-territorial groups of archaeological sites dating to the period under study. Most of them belong to the Afanasyevо culture, with the rest being represented by the Kurota, Aragol and Ulita cultural types that have been recently designated from the Afanasyevо culture. For each group, in accordance with their geographical localization, we have calculated geographical and bioclimatic parameters. The comparison of these parameters with the characteristics of the corresponding craniological series has allowed us to reveal the main trends of intergroup variability within the Eneolithic — Early Bronze Altai population. A considerable and statistically significant correlation is found between the morphological parameters, such as the height of the cranium, general sizes of a cranial cavity and the width of the face, and geographic and bioclimatic parameters characterizing the severity of the climate and the mountain height above sea level. In terms of other race-demarcating characteristics, no significant difference has been revealed between the territorial groups of the Altai Eneolithic — Early Bronze population characterized by the proto-European type. The identified variations correspond to the previously established differences between the total series of skulls of the Afanasyevо culture from the Altai highlands and the Minusinsk Hollow, as well as to two craniological types defined as the main anthropological components of the Afanasyevо culture population in Southern Siberia. The first of these types, prevailing among the Altai Afanasyevo culture population, is markedly hypermorphic and characterized by a higher and, in general, a larger skull. The second type, determining the craniological specifics of the unicultural population in the Minusinsk Hollow, is moderately hypermorphic and characterized by a smaller and, importantly, less high skull. Our findings suggest that these differences are associated in many respects with a general increase in the body size in populations having lived in the most bioclimatically unfavourable areas of the Altai highlands. This is evidenced by an increase in the longitudinal and girth dimensions of the long skeletal bones of the Altai Eneolithic — Early Bronze population having inhabited the mid-mountain and high-mountain Altai areas compared with the control samples from the low-mountain Altai regions and the Afanasyevo culture from the Minusinsk Hollow. Therefore, according to the calculated parameters, the population from the bioclimatically unfavourable Altai regions was characterized by a rather large weight and height among all the studied ancient Neolithic — Bronze Eurasian groups. Thus, our study confirms that the main mechanism of biological adaptation to the severe mountain environment of the Altai highlands among the Eneolithic — Early Bronze population was the enhancement of energy processes by means of increasing standard metabolism. As a result, the initially tall and large proto-European population was becoming even larger.

The paper considers a new composition of diffusion-hardening solder based on a low-melting gallium alloy and copper-tin spherical powder (PCTSP5). The influence of the powder filler – titanium composition on the structure and properties of solder for expanding the areas of use is investigated. Strength properties, microstructure, thermal stability of the samples were studied.

The article deals with the possibility of utilization of pectins from the bark of coniferous tree species for the manufacture of fruit and vegetable canned goods (jelly, jam and nectars with pulp) as biological additives that improve product consistency. Due to their unique properties, pectin substances are widely used in modern conditions and can be used as an additive in the production of food products. In the food industry, of particular importance are such properties of pectin substances as gelling, structure-forming and thickening abilities, which is very important when creating food products with certain structural characteristics. Experimental samples of fruit jams with the introduction of different amounts of pectin to thicken the product (0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%) were put out. During the sensor analysis of these jams the best characteristics were obtained by samples, into which pectin from the bark of spruce in an amount of 1.0% was added. The possibility of using pectins from the bark of spruce and larch as gelling agents in the manufacture of jelly was investigated. Composite mixtures which produced three versions of the jelly images with pectin were developed: No.1 - control with apple pectin; No. 2 - with pectin from the spruce bark; No. 3 - with pectin from the larch bark. It has been established that the organoleptic characteristics of the sample No.2 differ from the control sample slightly. Sample No. 3 has received non-satisfactory rating in all organoleptic parameters. To confirm the structure-forming ability of pectin from spruce bark, the samples of nectars with pulp with addition of pectin from spruce bark are manufactured. The expediency of using this pectin is 0.9%.

В статье проведен анализ находок оружия ударного действия (каменного навершия булавы и каменных топоров кабардино-пятигорского типа) в 13 комплексах Кавминводской группы. Подчеркнуто, что оружие ударного действия найдено в погребениях мужчин. Захоронения с топорами могут быть в курганах как основными, так и впускными. Особо рассматриваются комплексы орудий с каменными топорами. Наиболее часто с ними встречаются каменные терочники-куранты. Они, по наблюдениям Г. Ф. Коробковой, служили наковаленками. В итоге делается вывод о символике погребений с каменными топорами Кавминводской группы как символике воинского статуса и ее связи с символикой умельцев – кузнецов., The paper analyzes finds of impact weapons (a stone mace head and stone axes of the Kabarda-Pyatigorye type) in 13 assemblages of the Caucasian Spas group. It emphasizes that impact weapons were found in the graves of males of the virile age. The burials with axes in the kurgans can be primary and secondary. Assemblages of implements containing stone axes are analyzed separately. Most frequently they are accompanied by grindstones/pestles. As G. F. Korobkova has observed, they were used as small anvils. The paper concludes that symbolism of the burials containing stone taxes of the Caucasian Spas group indicates the military status and demonstrate that this symbolism is associated with symbolism of skilled metalsmiths., №251 (2018)

The article presents results of studies of the mineral composition of wild berries and their constituent parts (peel, pulp). Blueberries, bilberries, cranberries and lingonberries were picked out on the territory of the Vyborg district of the Leningrad Region. Berries sorted by quality and degree of maturity and crushed; the juice and pulp were separated by pressing and filtration. The yield of juice depended on the type of berries and was minimal for blueberries. Berries, peel and pulp were dried to constant weight at a temperature of 50 °C. The composition of the mineral elements was determined in the native remainder of whole berries and their constituent parts by X-ray fluorescence on the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer "Rigaku Nex CG", USA. The method used makes it possible to obtain the composition of mineral elements in the form of oxides. All berries had a typical composition of elements with a predominance of potassium and calcium. The content of potassium berries were as follows: bilberries > lingonberries > blueberries> cranberries. The highest content of calcium was in blueberries; phosphorus prevailed in lingonberries. In the trace elements were identified: iron, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese, silicon, vanadium, titanium. Vanadium was found only in blueberries and bilberries. During the processing of berries, mineral elements were redistributed. Potassium oxides are distributed in all parts of the berries, calcium, titanium and vanadium oxides are found predominantly in the skin and in the pulp of berries. Most of the oxides of macro-elements (such as phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine) and trace elements (such as iron, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, nickel) are contained only in the juice.

The paper considers improvement of physic-mechanical and operational properties of adhesive coatings after laser infusion with additional alloying В4С, ТаВ and МоВ. Influence of the laser infusion with additional alloying on structure, microhardness and wear-resistance of adhesive coatings of the Fe–Cr–B –Si system has been studied in the paper. While increasing a laser beam velocity microstructure is changed from equilibrium to quasi-eutectic. Presence of molybdenum boride and tantalum increases sensitivity of the coating to specific features of laser remelting. In both cases heat exchange conditions have been changed, a number of iron and chromium borides has been increased and due to this molybdenum and tantalum have been partially passing to free state that contributes to a disintegration of structural components. While introducing solid particles B4C into a coating they are dissolved in an iron matrix while being heated by a laser beam and under cooling they are isolated in the form of separated Fe an Cr boride inclusions. Laser infusion and alloying increase coating wear-resistance. Load increase from 30 to 70 Н improves coating wear resistance averagely by 15–26 % and wear resistance of non-alloyed coatings is improved by 26–43 %. An increase of melting rate and laser spot diameter does not exert significant influence on wear but an increase in overlapping coefficient leads to reduction of coating wear. Presence of solid particles in a coating and an increase in rate of melting by laser beam reduce coating wear resistance. Such rather complicated dependence of coating wear rate on conditions of laser melting and wearing process is due to a complex of structural and phase transformations which have contributed to formation of secondary solid inclusions and increased microhardness.
