On basis of silica nanopowder «tarkosil» (produced by the authors through new technology of raw material evaporation by electron beam), the nanoporous ceramics with open porosity were used, and its separation properties were studied. For the ceramics, obtained at different sintering temperatures, their specific surface, porosity, and separation factor were determined. The obtained ceramics were applied for separation of four combinations of gases: He/Ar, He/N2, He/CH4, and N2/Ar. The possibility (using the created by the authors ceramics) of helium enrichment his mixtures with more heavy gases was shown

The paper describes a model of synthesis and analysis of the application of nano-silica obtained by electron beam evaporation. The authors developed the approach that shows of the specific and fully surfaces of nanopowders to have more significance then the size of the nanoparticles. The experimental results and theoretical models supporting this concept are presented. In particular, the connection between the strength of the epoxy and the total surface value dispersed into epoxy is shown. In the synthesis of large quantities of nanopowder we can use the model concepts to predict specific surface directly from the averaged parameters of synthesis. The main factor for a used synthesis scheme is presented: the multiplication a product of mass performance on specific surface area. The combination of this factor with the model representations of specific surface evaluation allows to estimate the quality and efficiency of the synthesis process. The nanopowder total surface versatility as a criterion of comparability of different modes, and possibly synthesis processes is shown

We investigated the phase composition, plastic deformation and fracture micromechanisms of Fe-(25-26)Cr-(5-12)Mn-0.15C-0.55N (wt. %) high-nitrogen chromium-manganese steel. Obtained by the method of electron-beam 3D-printing (additive manufacturing) and subjected to a heat treatment (at a temperature of 1150°C following by quenching). To establish the effect of the electron-beam 3D-printing process on the phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of high-nitrogen steel, a comparison was made with the data for Fe-21Cr-22Mn-0.15C-0.53N austenitic steel (wt. %) obtained by traditional methods (casting and heat treatment) and used as a raw material for additive manufacturing. It was experimentally established that in the specimens obtained by additive manufacturing method, depletion of the steel composition by manganese in the electron-beam 3D-printing and post-built heat treatment contributes to the formation of a macroscopically and microscopically inhomogeneous two-phase structure. In the steel specimens, macroscopic regions of irregular shape with large ferrite grains or a two-phase austenite-ferrite structure (microscopic inhomogeneity) were observed. Despite the change in the concentration of the basic elements (chromium and manganese) in additive manufacturing, a high concentration of interstitial atoms (nitrogen and carbon) remains in steel. This contributes to the macroscopically heterogeneous distribution of interstitial atoms in the specimens - the formation of a supersaturated interstitial solid solution in the austenitic regions due to the low solubility of nitrogen and carbon in the ferrite regions. This inhomogeneous heterophase (ferrite-austenite) structure has high strength properties, good ductility and work hardening, which are close to those of the specimens of the initial high-nitrogen austenitic steel used as the raw material for additive manufacturing.

A gas quenching process to deal with steel slag and its characteristics of the new technology was briefly introduced. The grinding characteristics, mineral phases of gas quenching steel slag and the potential economic benefits of using it as cement mixing material was studied by compared to heat-stew steel slag. The results indicated that the specific surface areas (S) and grinding times (t) of the gas quenching steel slag showed a first order exponential decay relationship. With the extension of time, the specific surface areas of heat-stew steel slag was tending to balance earlier than that of gas quenching steel slag; The energy consumption of gas quenching steel slag was much lower than that of heat-stew steel slag. Gas quenching steel slag was comprised of C2S, C3S, a certain amount of (Ca2(Al, Fe)2O5)and RO phase, but the content of RO phase was relatively low, which increased the grindability of the quenching steel slag, so that the grindability of gas quenching steel slag was much better than that of heat-stew steel slag. Gas quenching steel slag prepared for cement addictives would bring great economic benefits.

The aim of the work was to present the issue of eco-efficiency, based on the PN-EN ISO 14045:2012 standard in relation to the production of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The ecoefficiency analysis takes into account economic and environmental aspects in the improvement of products and processes / technologies. Eco-efficiency considers the product and technology throughout the life cycle, from the construction phase, through use to decommissioning. The impact on the natural environment is assessed on the basis of: consumption of energy, materials, dust and gas emissions, waste and sewage. Total costs include: production costs, raw material costs, costs during the use phase including maintenance, repair and operating costs, product disposal or recycling. The eco-efficiency analysis is helpful in making decisions regarding the selection of a new product or designing a new technology, and enables the selection of the variant that is the most economical and has the least possible impact on the natural environment. These issues are particularly important in the case of biofuels. The rapid growth of their production and the European Union’s policy, which aims to increase the share of energy from renewable sources, cause concerns of many experts regarding the threats related to the production of biofuels, both for the environment and food security. In particular, efforts are made to minimize the amount of waste and residues by implementing the idea of a circular economy. This approach promotes the development of new technologies that are more environmentally friendly. Due to the regulations set out in the RED and RED II Directives, there is a chance that the biofuels will have a less negative impact on the environment. This results from the obligation to certify compliance with the sustainability criteria, which is carried out by voluntary systems recognized by the European Commission, such as the KZR INiG System.

Nowadays, people should pay more attention on the environment problems that had advent along with the development of rare earth metallurgy industry. A large number of water pollutant, air pollutant and solid pollutant were discharged in the process of synthesis of rare earth compound by precipitation and roasting process. In order to solve the industry pollution problems, a new technology route was developed for the preparation of lanthanum oxide using lanthanum chloride as raw material by oxy-hydrogen flame route. The experiment results showed that lanthanum chloride could directly convert to lanthanum oxide under high temperature by the combustion of mixture gas of hydrogen-oxygen that provided by oxy-hydrogen generator continuously. The phase composition of obtained product was characterized by XRD and the conversion rate of lanthanum chloride and the reaction mechanism were discussed.

One of the technological innovations nowadays is the development of industrial processing of agricultural raw material, manufacturing process leading to lower risks – «Low/No/Reduced» and «Better-for-you». This may be done by light processing of raw materials and use of traditional technologies, i.e. fermentation of craft beverages by natural symbiotic cultures Oryzamycesindichiand Medusomycesgisevi (kombucha). The recent years saw a worldwide interest to a horticultural crop called Hippophaerhamnoides (sea-buckthorn) as it is eco-friendly and healthful. Its fruits have a special smell and taste, are reach in carotene, carotenoids, tocopherols, ascorbic acids, polyphenols. The composition is the reason why it is used for foodstuff, i.e. pastry, dairy products, unclarified juice. Production of beverages fermented by natural symbiotic cultures and local orchard products is a new direction in Russia. The supplies are limited which means that the research is relevant. The aim of the research is to study the possibility of usage ofjuice of Hippophaerhamnoides fruits in the new technology of soft drinks production fermented by Oryzamycesindichi and Medusomycesgisevi. A single nutritious substrate for Oryzamycesindichi and Medusomycesgisevi symbiotic cultures cultivation was proved impossible to be produced. Still the possibility to replace polyphenols of the Medusomycesgisevi by those of the sea-buckthorn juice must be analyzed.Sea-buckthorn juice added in a culture medium fermented by Oryzamycesindichi and Medusomycesgisevi symbiotic cultures increases biosynthetic activity of acidforming bacteria. This tangibly improves organoleptic properties of the fermented soft beverages produced. Besides, the technology of Oryzamycesindichi and Medusomycesgisevi production presupposes no clarification which makes the process of the Hippophaerhamnoides use significantly easier. The research helped to identify that the sea-buckthorn juice used in a must fermented by Medusomycesgisevi has many advantages. Namely more comprehensive utilization of carbohydrate, a higher level of reduction of organic acids, and decrease of the time of technological process (24 hours less).

A new technology of pellet production-drying-chloridizing roasting is proposed for valuable metal recovery from pyrite cinder with high content of lead and zinc. The pyrite cinder, containing 60.15% Fe, 2.02% Pb and 2.15% Zn, was pelletized with addition of 2% bentonite in pan pelletizer. Green balls after drying were roasting at 1100 °C for 60 min with 5 wt % of CaCl2 addition in tube furnace. The results demonstrate that pellets with 61.58% of TFe, lead and zinc volatile ratios of 98.02% and 96.83% were obtained. Key technique is that CaCl2 reacts with lead and zinc compounds and the chloride can be volatilized at moderate temperatures. This new technology can recover the valuable metal fully from pyrite cinder and produce qualified concentrate as iron-bearing feed for steel industry, which will help to solve the pollution of pyrite cinder and extend raw material sourcing for Chinese steel industry.

Purpose Experimental research was conducted on the effects of surface roughness on ultrasonic non-destructive testing of electron beam melted (EBM) additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a developing technology with many potential benefits, but certain challenges posed by its use require further research before AM parts are viable for widespread use in the aviation industry. Possible applications of this new technology include aircraft battle damage repair (ABDR), small batch manufacturing to fill supply gaps and replacement for obsolete parts. This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of ultrasonic inspection in detecting manufactured flaws in EBM-manufactured Ti-6Al-4V. Additively manufactured EBM products have a high surface roughness in “as-manufactured” condition which is an artifact of the manufacturing process. The surface roughness is known to affect the results of ultrasonic inspections. Experimental data from this research demonstrate the ability of ultrasonic inspections to identify imbedded flaws as small as 0.51 mm at frequencies of 2.25, 5 and 10 MHz through a machined surface. Detection of flaws in higher surface roughness samples was increased at a frequency of 10 MHz opposed to both lower frequencies tested. Design/methodology/approach The approach is to incorporate ultrasonic waves to identify flaws in an additive manufactured specimen Findings A wave frequency of 10 MHz gave good results in finding flaws even with surface roughness present. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first attempt that was able to identify small flaws using ultrasonic sound waves in which surface roughness was present.
