The world experience shows that in the 21st century, the sustainable development of the Russian beet production and sugar industry is impossible without scientific achievements. It requires low-cost resource-saving technologies that can save resources and increase the efficiency of sugar beet production. It was found that in order to increase the profitability of the sugar beet production industry, the following technologies should be used: intensive (application of herbicides); resource-saving (strip post-emergence application of herbicides); environmental protection (production of beets without herbicides, but with the use of manual labor). The intensification of sugar beet processing entails the use of new technologies that can reduce the volume of waste. The waste-free production makes it possible to strengthen the role of secondary resources as raw materials in the manufacture of various products. Secondary raw materials are used as raw materials. Structural and investment policies pursued by the government do not stimulate their processing. Therefore, beet-sugar agro-associations themselves should solve these issues. Their efforts should be aimed at ensuring the comprehensive processing of sugar beets to produce high-quality valuable food and feed products from production waste.

Improve Production Efficiency

An analysis of the main production processes used in the sugar industry and ways to improve production efficiency is presented. In the sugar industry of the Republic of Belarus, an extensive way of increasing production efficiency is mainly used — improving the existing technological scheme mainly without introducing new technologies. This path carries low risks, but has natural limitations. The paper considers an alternative option for increasing the efficiency of sugar production, which is based on the use of new electromembrane technologies that complement the traditional technological scheme or partially replace its stages. The most promising and little-studied method of processing sugar beet processing products in order to increase production efficiency is electrodialysis. The aim of the study is to study the effect of electromembrane treatment of diffusion juice of various degrees of purification on improving the efficiency of sugar beet processing. The results of model tests of the electrodialysis process in real production conditions with a steadystate sugar production mode on a pilot membrane installation with a cation-anionic set of membranes are presented. The results of calculations confirming the effectiveness of the use of electromembrane processing in the technology of sugar beet processing are presented.

By Products

Beet sugar production is one of the material-intensive industries, where the volume of raw and auxiliary materials used in production is several times higher than the output of finished products. It is also a source of multi-tonnage secondary resources, i.e. by-products and production waste, the main ones beingAbeet pulp, molasses and filtration sludge. Against the background of the implementation of the Sectoral Program of Beet Sugar Production Development in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2018-2027, there is a need to create a concept of ecologization of production, which will provide for the development of fundamentally new technologies to ensure minimum waste, combining environmentally friendly methods with cost-effective production of sugar beet and by-products. The bet should be made on low-cost technologies that will minimize production costs and environmental impact. In this article possible variants of sugar beet processing technologies with complex deep processing of waste are offered. The comparison of traditional technology and various variants of progressive technologies of sugar beet processing and production of new products from secondary resources was carried out, which allowed to determine revenue from complex processing of 1 ton of sugar beet.

Sown Area

The article justified the necessity of developing a strategy for the improvement of the sugar beet subcomplex of the region on the base of the determination of the close relationship between beet-growing farms, enterprises engaged in the delivery, processing and sale of manufactured products. According to the authors, the optimization of the raw material zone should include the principle of maximum loading of sugar mills, taking into account the raw materials produced in the region, optimizing transport costs for its delivery. The analysis of the sown area, productivity and gross yield of sugar beets gives us the idea that the region takes the tenth place among the largest producers of sugar beets. The yield and gross yield in 2019 in agricultural enterprises amounted to 459.6 centner / ha, 2231.9 thousand centner (an increase of 13.6% and 9.4% compared to the level of 2018).For P(F)E, the average increase is 40%, which corresponds to 481 centner / ha, 18.3 thousand tons. The average sugar content of beets during acceptance and processing ranges from 17.96 to 18.3%, the sugar yield is 15.63%, the sugar content in molasses is 1.68%, and the average daily productivity is 16.11 thousand ton / day, loss in production is 1.27%. The authors found that the production efficiency of the sugar beet industry is directly connected with the growth of labor productivity, the introduction of modern technologies, cost reduction, and thus, each farm has the opportunity to get additional profit. One of the main problems in the agricultural sector of the economy is the use of available resources to obtain the largest number of products. In our opinion, the production efficiency of sugar mills is closely interconnected with the constructed logistics routes for the transportation of raw materials with the exception of repeated shipments, the proportion of sugar beets in the sown area, and the reliability of suppliers. In our opinion, the efficiency of sugar mills production is in close connection with the built of the logistic routes for transportation of raw materials with the exception of repeated transportation, the specific weight of sugar beet in the structure of the sown area and the reliability ensuring of suppliers. The problem of the effective development of the sugar industry is relevant and priority in solving regional policies, the implementation of which will not only eliminate the emerging imbalances and reduce imports, but also support the domestic producer.

COVID-19 pandemic provoked a number of restrictive measures, such as the closure or severe restriction of border transit for international trading traffic, quarantines and self-isolation. This caused a series of interrelated consequences that not only prevent or slow down the spread of disease, but also impact the medical systems’ capability to treat the patients and help their recovery. In particular, steeply growing demand for medical safety goods cannot be satisfied by regular suppliers due to the shortage of raw materials originating from other countries or remotely located national sources, under conditions of quarantined manpower. The current context inevitably brings back memories (and records!) of the situation 80 years ago, when WWII necessitated major effort directed at the rapid build-up of low cost mass production to satisfy all aspects of war-time need. In the present short report we document a successful case of fast mass-production of light transparent medical safety face shields (thousands per day) realized in Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) fabrication laboratory (FabLab). The demand for safety face shields by tens of hospitals in Moscow City and Region rapidly ramped up due to the need to protect medical staff during patient collection and transportation to hospitals, and within both the infected (“red”) and uninfected (“green”) zones. Materials selection for sterilizable transparent materials was conducted based on the analysis of merit indices, namely, minimal weight at given stiffness and minimal cost at given stiffness. Due to the need for permanent wear, design was motivated by low weight and comfortable head fixation, along with high production efficiency. The selection of minimal tooling in University fabrication workshops and the use of distributed volunteer labor are discussed.

The Government

Industry is at the heart of a government's plans to transform the economy from a resource-based economy to a value-added one. Economic diversification is vital to countries’ long-term economic growth, but many resource-rich countries remain heavily reliant on revenues generated by natural resources such as mineral or oil production. In Oman, the fall in price oil compelled the government to rethink about development and economic plans in order to improve the living conditions of the population. The main objective of economic diversification agenda is to increase the contribution of these sectors to the gross national product (GDP) of Oman, raise production and create more jobs for these sectors. New technologies will promote the achievement of inclusive, sustainable industrial development through its creation and absorption. New innovations allow businesses to bring new products into the market and improve production efficiency. In addition, industrial development generates new employment and profit incentives. More products and productivity of production also add to the growth of the economy. Industrial development at the same time leads to the manufacture and diffusion of emerging technology. Only by industrialization can economies, industries and businesses build and maintain the requisite technical transition capabilities. This paper presents a conceptual or research framework that identifies the mediating effect of industrial development in the relationship between economic diversification and economic growth in Oman. Two main factors are considered, i.e., the strategic drivers consisting of economic and non-economic variables, and industrial development initiatives. The paper concludes with the discussion on the formulations of hypothesis statements that describe the inter-relationships between the constructs in the conceptual framework. It is expected that the proposed framework can be further verified and tested by using empirical research work.

The implementation of new water regulations from the local government has been a motivation for most industries to treat the effluent before disposal or reuse within the plant, in order to save costs and avoid sanctions. Tongaat-Huletts sugar refinery has therefore invested in this collaborative research with the Durban University of Technology in order to investigate new technologies for wastewater treatment and water recovery using an organic coagulant called chitosan. Chitosan is a natural non-toxic polymer extracted from the exoskeleton of crustaceans. Chitosan has gained extensive attention as a coagulant in the treatment of wastewaters from various industries. However, no attention has been given to the coagulation of effluents from the sugar industry using this polymer. In this work, chitosan coagulant (CCo) was prepared by dissolution of known amounts of chitosan powder in aqueous acid at 50℃. The solution was diluted to desired concentrations using distilled water at room temperature. The removal of impurities using chitosan was investigated for two effluent streams from the sugar refinery, namely the final effluent (FE) and the resin effluent (RE) by applying the one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method. The optimum chitosan loading was found to be 138 mg/l for the RE and 7.41 mg/l for the FE, beyond which the efficiency of the coagulant decreased. The coagulation of FE removed 97% of the total suspended solids (TSS), 61% colour and 35% chemical oxygen demand (COD). The treatment of RE resulted in the removal of 68% TSS, 30% colour and 15% COD due to its high content of impurities. Therefore, RE was not considered for statistical studies. The Box-Behnken (BBD) design, which is a statistical response surface methodology (RSM) model was used to study the simultaneous effect of pH, coagulant loading and settling time on the removal of the COD, TSS and colour, with the help of an overlay plot for the FE. The optimum values from the overlay plot were 92% for TSS, 83% for colour and 29% for COD. The model equations generated by the BBD for individual responses involved all the manipulated variables contrary to the OFAT which only considered one manipulated parameter per response. Moreover, the BBD allowed the simultaneous analysis of all the parameters and the identification of interactions which occur when the effect of one factor is dependent on the level of another. The most important interaction for the removal of TSS was the combination of the variation in pH and coagulant dosage. The COD removal was mostly affected by the interaction between the coagulant loading and the settling time. The colour removal increased with the simultaneous increase of the pH and the settling time. A comparative study between the wastewaters from the sugar industry, the brewery industry and milk processing industry revealed that the performance of the chitosan was also affected by the amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the wastewater. A model was developed relating the TSS, COD and TDS from all these wastewaters, and was used to predict the TSS removal for the effluent from the olive oil mills and the wastewater from the winery. Chitosan can be considered as a good alternative to inorganic and synthetic coagulants for the pre-treatment of the FE due to its ability to efficiently remove the levels of TSS and colour. Furthermore, the production of chitosan from crustacean shells is a good method of reducing pollution from the fishery industry. Chitosan can be produced locally at low cost due to both the abundance of crustacean shells in the coastal regions of South Africa and the simplicity of its preparation process. It is recommended that a mathematical model be developed to accurately predict the influence of chitosan on all types of effluent. Such a model will provide an indication of the performance of the chitosan and guide experimenters. It is further recommended that the effect of the use of organic coagulants on the destabilization of dissolved solids in wastewater be given greater attention.

Beet Pulp

The sugar beet industry produces considerable amounts of organic waste and by-products. Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is the residue that remains after sugar extraction. SBP is a lignocellulosic by-product of the sugar industry and generally used as animal feed at relatively low price. Instead of cattle feeding, SBP can be used as a raw material for industrial applications because it is low-cost and available in large amounts. Biomass is a clean and renewable energy source. The use of SBP for the production of ethanol, methanol, single cell protein, biofuels etc. is economically very attractive. This literature review evaluates the use of SBP as biomass.

This study focused on the Kenyan sugar industry in the changing Kenyan business environment. The study sought to establish why Kenyan sugar firms were finding it increasingly difficult to compete within the changing Kenyan business environment. The specific objectives of the study were: one, to establish factors undermining the competitiveness of the local sugar firms; two, to find out if the local sugar firms were making any strategic responses in reaction to the changing Kenyan business environment; and three, to identify what company managers and other stakeholders consider as important measures that need to be undertaken to enhance the competitiveness of government-owned sugar firms. This study involved all the government-owned sugar in Kenya. The study found out that Kenyan sugar firms were facing very stiff competition from imported sugar. As such, local sugar firms are reported to be seriously negatively affected currently. A number of factors were found to be undermining the competitiveness of local sugar firms: competition from imported sugar, inferior production facilities, and poor management of company resources, among others. This study points at a number of strategic measures that the local sugar should put in place in response to the changes currently taking place in the Kenyan business environment; Employee retrenchment, improvement in production efficiency, sub-contracting of services considered to be subsidiary to core functions, and increased marketing activities, are some of the prominently cited strategic measures being undertaken by local sugar firms in response to the changing Kenyan business environment.

The urgency of the problem being investigated is conditioned by the issues of rational use of natural resources in the conditions of transition of the economy to the trajectory of sustainable development. The analysis of conceptual views on this issue points to many arguments, which indicates a divergence of theoretical positions. The purpose of the article is aimed at the formation of a resource-saving strategy and the concepts of “cleaner production”, which are one of the decisive ways in increasing the efficiency of the use of natural resources. In recent years, this process is significantly intensified, which is associated with the extraction, processing and transportation of oil and gas, which are a dangerous source of possible environmental complications. The manifestation of increased attention to the problem being investigated is based on an understanding of the main role of resource saving in market conditions. The leading approach to the study of this problem was the structural reorganization of existing production facilities and the creation of new ones based on the integrated use of petroleum raw materials, taking into account the introduction of innovative processes. The main components of scientific novelty are directions that have been further developed and containing elements of a real increase in scientific knowledge. The main results of the article are aimed at justifying the development of all components of resource-saving links. The materials of the article can be used to improve the state policy in the field of resource saving, using the principles and tools of the “cleaner production” concept, as well as in teaching courses in economic theory, the theory of resource-saving management.

At present, much attention is paid to improving the production of synthetic rubbers. The introduction of new technologies to increase the productivity of the process, more fully and rationally use valuable hydrocarbon raw materials, reduce environmental pollution and improve the quality of the products is an important and urgent task. Equally important in this case is the selection of new coagulating agents used in the technology of rubber release from latex. The main requirements for coagulating agents used in the technology of rubber release from latex are: availability, low cost, non-toxicity, ease of cleaning of sewage coming to treatment facilities from them. The possibility of application of the beet-sugar production waste - molasses for beet-lean depletion - in the technology of producing butadiene-styrene rubber SKS-30 ARC has been studied. A feature of the behavior of molasses, as a coagulating agent, is shown when isolating rubber from latex. It has been established that the consumption of molasses in the isolation of butadiene-styrene rubber from latex is closely related to the consumption of acidifying agent - sulfuric acid. The higher the molasses input for coagulation, the higher the consumption of sulfuric acid to maintain the pH of the medium at the required level. The temperature of the process did not have a significant effect on the completeness of the release of rubber from latex. The extracted crumb of rubber was separated from the aqueous phase (sulfur), washed with warm softened water and dried. On the basis of the rubber obtained, rubber mixtures were prepared using standard components and vulcanized. Rubbers obtained on the basis of rubber SKS-30 ARC, in their indicators meet the requirements.
