Experimental study on moisture absorption of solid clay based desiccant mould with varying void fraction is presented in this work. Solid desiccant moulds of three types by varying void fraction with the composition of 10% cement, 10% of calcium chloride, 20% vermiculite with particle size of 5mm and above and 60% of bentonite were prepared and tested under uniform conditions in the drying chamber. The results show that the moisture absorption capacity of the mould is significantly affected when the void fraction is changed.

Background. Gluten-free types of flour (corn, rice) with the absence of gluten proteins, show special abilities for moisture absorption, which differ from those that are characteristic for wheat flour. Researches in this direction are fragmentary. Consequently, the aim of the article is to study the influence of granulometric characteristics on the moisture-absorbing capacity (MAC) and to determine methods for increasing the technological potential of gluten-free flour raw materials. Materials and methods. The corn flour and rice flour were used. Micropho­to­graphs were taken with the CL PC camera 4.5 digital microscope. The determination of gra­nulometric composition of flour was carried out by the average mass diameter method using Cooling Tech 4.5 software. The moisture absorption capacity of flour was deter­mi­ned by a Brabender farinograph, Germany. Result. The particle size of rice flour is determined by the "dark-field" method and corn flour by the "light-field" method. The obtained results show that rice flour is characterized by a relative uniformity in particle size and a high degree of dispersion, and as a result, has a good moisture-absorbing capacity (78.4 %). In corn flour, particles with average diameters from 100 to 250 microns (68.3 %) have the highest specific weight, the content of relatively large particles (more than 300 microns) is 11.2 %, and in the total area of particles 26.9 ± 4.2 %, which negatively affects the moisture-absorbing capa­city of flour and the consumer properties of ready-made cupcakes. To ensure the uniformity of particle sizes of the dispersed phase (a mixture of corn and rice flour) in the developed technology of gluten-free cupcakes, it is proposed to use a method of re-grin­ding, the feasibility of which is confirmed by the results of a study of the dispersed distribution of corn flour particles after re-grinding. Conclusion. It is proved that one of the factors that significantly affect the mois­ture-absorbing capacity of gluten-free flour, the speed of dough formation, consistency, and consumer properties of ready-made gluten-free cupcakes is the granulometric com­position of flour. The method of re-grinding corn flour is proposed in the development of gluten-free cupcake technology to ensure the uniformity of particle sizes of a mixture of corn and rice flour.

This paper investigated the mechanical response of porous copper manufactured by LCS under three-point bending and Charpy impact conditions. The effects of the compaction pressure and K2CO3 particle size used in producing the porous copper samples and the relative density of the samples were studied. The apparent modulus, flexural strength and energy absorption capacity in three-point bending tests increased exponentially with increasing relative density. The impact strength was not markedly sensitive to relative density and had values within 7 – 9 kJ/m2 for the relative densities in the range 0.17 – 0.31. The amount of energy absorbed by a porous copper sample in the impact test was much higher than that absorbed in the three-point bending test, impling that loading strain rate had a significant effect on the deformation mechanisms. Increasing compaction pressure and increasing K2CO3 particle size resulted in significant increases in the flexural strength and the bending energy absorption capacity, both owing to the reduced sintering defects.

The hygroscopicity property of the rapeseed at different temperature and humidity was experimental studied in this paper. Tested results show that: the moisture absorption rates increase with the increase of relative humidity at the early period of absorption, and higher temperature leads to earlier reach of moisture equilibrium; the critical relative humidity(CRH) increases with the increase of temperature; the optional relative humidity for safety storage of rapeseed should be controlled less than 60%.

Based on the benefication of the complex silicate ore containing scandium, the research about aid-leaching agent used in the leaching of the scandium concentrate was been conducted. And the suitable leaching agent and aid-leaching agent which the useful ions entered into leaching liquid and the harmful ions were kept in leaching residue were been found according to the experiment results. For the scandium of sample existed various complex silicate ore as isomorphism form, the research has adopted hydrochloric acid with aid-leaching agent to dissociate the silicate ore and make scandium entering into solution. The research results has shown that the scandium leaching rate could reach 92.06% under the optimal conditions which the hydrochloric acid concentration is 22.8%, the dosage of aid leaching agent is 6%, liquid solid ratio is 4:1, particle size of leaching material totally is less than 0.15mm and leaching time is 8h.

Исследовано взаимодействие коллагена пресноводных рыб с водой для повышения его водопоглощающей способности. Объектом исследования был вторичный продукт переработки рыбного сырья – шкуры прудовых рыб, преимущественно толстолобика. Для исследования были использованы методы термогравиметрии и дифференциальной сканирующей калориметрии. Измерения проведены на приборе синхронного термического анализа модели STA 449 F3 Jupiter. Установлено, что основная доля влаги связывается адсорбционным или осмотическим путем, а на долю капиллярной влаги приходится всего 7% массы воды, связанной образцами. Большая величина энергии связи адсорбции – 4 Дж/моль свидетельствует о способности функциональных групп коллагена к созданию гидратной оболочки, содержащей значительное количество воды. Для увеличения влагопоглощающей способности необходимо разрыхление коллагеновых волокон, что увеличивается свободный доступ влаги к фибриллам белка, увеличивающим впитывание влаги. Для эффективного разрыхления предложено выдерживать шкуры толстолобика в растворе органических кислот концентрацией 0,5%. Это позволяет добиться высокой влагоемкости, которая достигает 35–40 объемов влаги на 1 единицу массы исследуемого материала, что делает перспективным использование коллагена в качестве материала для впитывающих влагу слоев средств личной гигиены, одежды, обуви. The interaction of freshwater fish collagen with water to increase its water absorption capacity was studied. The secondary product of processing of fish raw materials – skins of pond fish, mainly silver carp, was the object of study. Methods of thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry were used for the study. Measurements were carried out on the device of synchronous thermal analysis of model STA 449 F3 Jupiter. It was found that the bulk of the moisture is bound by adsorption or osmotic way, and 7% of mass of the water connected by samples fall to the share of capillary moisture. A large amount of adsorption binding energy – 4 J/mol indicates the ability of collagen functional groups to create a hydrated shell containing a significant amount of water. Loosening of collagen fibers is necessary to increase the moisture absorption capacity, which will increase the free access of moisture to the protein fibrils, increasing the absorption of moisture. It is proposed to withstand the skins of silver carp in a solution of organic acids with a concentration of 0,5% for effective loosening. This makes it possible to achieve high moisture capacity, which reaches 35–40 volumes of moisture per 1 unit mass of the test material, which makes it promising to use collagen as a material for moisture-absorbing layers of personal hygiene products, clothing, and shoes.

The experimental study on the mechanism of CO2 absorption and desorption was tested by two kinds of glycinate (SG and PG) with TEA. The absorption and regeneration of CO2 by mixed absorption liquid were tested and compared with each other. The results showed that a low concentration of TEA in the SG and PG increased CO2 absorption capacity of mixed absorption solution. Addin more TEA on PG or SG lowered CO2 absorption capacity of mixed absorption solution. Desorption of PG didnt change with TEA. The low concentration of TEA had a role in promoting the desorption of mixed absorption solution (SG+TEA), and the high concentration of TEA inhibited the desorption of mixed absorption solution (SG+TEA).
