The process of granulation of organomineral fertilizer, created on the basis of poultry manure, with a horizontal flat matrix, was investigated. The influence of the humidity of the organomineral fertilizer on the studied parameters of the granulation process was determined: the power consumption, output of the granulation machine, the specific energy consumption and PDI. The optimal humidity of the organomineral fertilizer is determined, at which the granulation process proceeds with lower energy consumption. We have obtained granules having a diameter of 6 mm and strength of the granules 95-96%, which are suitable for mechanical fertilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vegetative experiments were carried out to study the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment with selenium and silicon on the barley culture, the "Reliable" variety under conditions of optimal and insufficient soil humidity. In vegetative experiments were investigated the effect of short-term drying of the soil, which was established by stopping the watering of the sixth stage of organogenesis. Certain regularities are the uptake of barley of individual heavy metals, depending on the conditions of humidification and pre-sowing seed treatment of the seeds with selenium and silicon. The relationship of cadmium, lead, zinc, copper and chromium accumulation in the basic and by-products is established, depending on the conditions of barley cultivation and the method of seed treatment with silicon and selenium.

An analysis has been made of existing studies in which liquid food products are processed by ultrasonic waves. It was established experimental setup with an ultrasonic generator for the purification of sunflower oil under the effect of the ultrasonic field. A methodology has been developed to determine the optimal frequency of ultrasound, the ultrasound emission power and the time of purification of vegetable oils. The technological parameters of the process of purifying sunflower oil by ultrasonic treatment were determined and experimental process studies were carried out. A basis of experimental data has been developed in the studies of the sunflower oil purification process. In this study the main focus is to determine the technological parameters of the ultrasonic treatment of the raw materials by conducting experimental modeling of the process of cleaning sunflower oil under the action of the ultrasonic field.
