The article presents the results of scientific research on the processing of nutshells by the pyrolysis method. The process of pyrolysis of walnut shells in the temperature range of 100–550 °C with the formation of charcoal without air was studied. The inorganic component in the shell is about 25%, while the organic part is 75%. It was found that the yield of charcoal from the walnut shell is 31.3% by weight at 550 °C, and the iodine concentration is 0.105 μg/dm3.

The purpose of the work was to study the nosological structure of rheumatologic patients hospitalized  in emergency hospitals. The analysis of the obtained distribution and its comparison with the structure  of patients at the Scientific Research Institute of emergency care named after I. I. Djanelidze and the City  Rheumatology Center were done. Determination of the current structure of hospitalization of rheumatologic  patients can serve as a basis of its forecasting for the subsequent periods.

Abstract Freshwater crustaceans are distributed throughout the montane and lowland areas of Colombia, and are therefore a useful indicator group for how aquatic species will respond to climate change. As such, metabolic determination of physiological performance was evaluated for the Colombian pseudothelphusid crab, Neostrengeria macropa (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), over a temperature range inclusive of current temperatures and those predicted by future scenarios in the plateau around the city of Bogotá, namely from 8 °C to 30 °C. The performance results mostly aligned with previous exploratory behavioral determination of the ideal temperature range in the same species, although the metabolism increased at the highest temperature treatments, a point when exploratory behavior declined. These results indicate that this species of montane crab behaviorally compensates for increased thermal stress by decreasing its physical activity, which could have negative predator-prey consequences with changes to community structure as different species undergo climate-mediated geographic range shifts in the region. As this species is endemic to the plateau surrounding Bogotá, it also experiences a number of other stressors to its survival, including infrastructure development and invasive species.

Sorption From Aqueous Solutions

Elevated or unnatural levels of arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in soils and waterbodies from anthropogenic sources can present significant hazards for both natural ecosystems and human food production. Effective, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive materials, such as biochar, are needed to reduce mobility and bioavailability of As and P. While biochar features several physicochemical properties that make it an ideal contaminant sorbent, certain modifications such as mineral-impregnation can improve sorption efficiencies for targeted compounds. Here, we conducted sorption experiments to investigate and quantify the potential utility of magnesium (Mg) for improving biochar sorption efficiency of P and As. We synthesized a Mg-modified walnut shells-derived biochar and characterized its ability to remove As and P from aqueous solutions, thereby mitigating losses of valuable P when needed while, at the same time, immobilizing hazardous As in ecosystems. SEM-EDX, FTIR and elemental analysis showed morphological and functional changes of biochar and the formation of new Mg-based composites (MgO, MgOHCl) responsible for improved sorption potential capacity by 10 times for As and 20 times for P. Sorption efficiency was attributed to improved AEC, higher SSA, chemical forms of sorbates and new sorption site formations. Synthetized Mg-composite/walnut shell-derived biochar also removed >90% of P from real samples of wastewater, indicating its potential suitability for contaminated waterbody remediation.

The Impact

<p>The impact of atmospheric aerosol on the climate remains poorly understood. Organic aerosol makes up a significant fraction of total aerosol and is prevalent throughout the atmosphere. It can exist as a liquid, semi-solid or amorphous solid. The viscosity of organic aerosol will have an impact on transformations that organic aerosol will undergo during its lifetime such as evaporation and growth, heterogeneous and photochemical reactions as well as the ability to act as an ice nucleating particle.  Therefore, it is of key importance to be able to determine aerosol viscosity over a range of atmospherically relevant conditions in order to better understand the impact of organic aerosol on the climate.</p> <p>Here we report proof of concept viscosity measurements of water droplets levitated in an electrodynamic balance over a range of temperatures. Charged droplets are levitated in a temperature and relative humidity-controlled environment allowing properties over a temperature range of 300 to 220 K to be studied. As the droplets evaporate they reach a point where Coulomb instabilities are induced resulting in droplet oscillations. The relaxation of these oscillations can then be probed to determine the droplet viscosity. Future work will involve determination of the viscosity of different types of organic aerosol over a broad temperature range.</p>

Compressibility Coefficient

The actual problem of the possibility of using the equations of state for the gas phase of natural gas at temperatures below 250 K is considered. To solve it, the compressibility coefficients of natural gas obtained experimentally with high accuracy are required. The technique was developed and experimental study was carried out of compressibility factor aiming expanding temperature range of the state equations GERG-2004 and AGA8-DC92. The proposed technique is based on the fact that to assess the applicability of the equation of state, it is sufficient to obtain the relative value of the compressibility coefficient and not to determine its absolute value. The technique does not require complex equipment and provides high accuracy. The technique was tested on nitrogen, argon, air and methane. Uncertainty of determination of the compressibility factor is not greater than 0.1 %. For two different compositions of natural gas, obtained experimental data were demonstrated that the equations of state GERG-2004 and AGA8-92DC provide uncertainty of the calculation of the compressibility coefficient within 0.1 % in the temperature range from 220 K to 250 K and pressure below 5 MPa.

The specific heats of five polymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range of 300 to 360 K. The measurements were performed with polymers in the form of films, powders, and granules to clarify whether or not DSC specific heat values are dependent on the diminution of the sample. It was found that the specific heats for the bulk and powdered form of the polymer samples are indistinguishable within the error limits, justifying the determination of specific heats of powders by means of DSC.
