Bentonites and other smectite raw materials are widely used in many industries. The authors of the study analyzed the suitability of swelling granulates for their use as a seals in mobile flood barriers. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of the swelling and granulation parameters of three samples available on the market was performed. This results was compared with a macroscopic swelling test, which was realized on the specially prepared test stand. The carried out research shows that not only the content of the swelling minerals – mainly smectite – affect on the sealing of the system, but also they are determine by granules size distribution and the type of smectite.

Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) is a promising candidate for high density magnetic recording media due to its superior magnetic properties. For particulate recording media, nano-sized single crystalline powders with a narrow size distribution are a primary application requirement. The glass-crystallization method is preferred because of the controllability of crystallization kinetics, hence, particle size and size distribution. A disadvantage of this method is the need to melt raw materials at high temperatures with non-reactive crucibles, e.g. platinum. However, in this work, we have shown that crystal growth of barium hexaferrite occurred during low temperature heat treatment of raw batches.

Cement manufacture is one of the major contributors (7–10%) to global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a vital technology for decarbonising the sector. Oxy-fuel combustion, involving burning fuel in a mixture of recycled CO2 and pure O2 instead of air, makes CO2 capture much easier. Since it combines a theoretically lower energy penalty with an increase in production, it is attractive as a CCS technology in cement plants. However, it is necessary to demonstrate that changes in the clinkering atmosphere do not reduce the quality of the clinker produced. Clinkers were successfully produced in an oxy-fuel atmosphere using only pure oxides as raw materials as well as a mixture of oxides and clay. Then, CEM I cements were prepared by the addition of 5 wt% gypsum to the clinkers. Quantitative XRD and XRF were used to obtain the phase and elemental compositions of the clinkers. The particle size distribution and compressive strength of the cements at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days' ages were tested, and the effect of the particle size distribution on the compressive strength was investigated. Additionally, the compressive strength of the cements produced in oxy-fuel atmospheres was compared with those of the cement produced in air and commercially available CEMEX CEM I. The results show that good-quality cement can be successfully produced in an oxy-fuel atmosphere and it has similar phase and chemical compositions to CEM I. Additionally, it has a comparable compressive strength to the cement produced in air and to commercially available CEMEX CEM I.

Aims: Any pharmaceutical product made in pharmacy, hospital or factory may be contaminated with microbes. This contamination can originate from raw materials or during production. Hence, it is important to study the physical and chemical properties and stability of compounded drugs. Methods & Materials: In this study, first a specific sample of prescribed medication was ordered from 63 pharmacies in Yazd, Iran. After collecting the samples, the amount of microbial contamination, viscosity and particle size distribution and their stability were investigated and their results were compared to the standard levels. Findings: Based on the results, 31.7% of the samples had discoloration and 23.8% showed creaming phenomenon. In terms of particle size distribution, 57.1% of the samples had a 20-40 μm particle size and 49.2% had a viscosity equal to 2500-3000 centipoise. Regarding stability, 12.6% of the samples underwnet phase change at 30-40°C. About of the amount of hydroquinone in samples, 35% had acceptable amount. In 23.8% of the samples, fungal infection was observed. Conclusion: Contrary to a popular belief that the compounded medicines produced in pharmacies have microbial contamination, the results of this study showed that the microbial contamination of these compounded medications is low.

The method of improving the microbiological safety of food products based on the use of an electrochemically activated solution of chlorine-oxygen and hydroperoxide compounds was researched. The issue of food products cleaning is very relevant in catering. It’s usually used tap water for cleaning of vegetables and fruits, not disinfectant solutions or physical processing methods. During the analysis of this problem, several experiments were conducted with the «Анолит АНК СУПЕР» (anolyte) as a disinfectant for food products. The active agents of this solution are represented by a mixture of highly active metastable chlorine-oxygen and hydroperoxide compounds. To study the action of the anolyte, a research was conducted to determine the total microbial number (QMAFAnM) and the presence of yeast and fungi on the surfaces of the selected raw materials. It was used microbiological rapid tests «Петритест». Samples were: fresh carrots, fresh celery (leaf), fresh apples. During the research of raw materials treated with water supplied by a centralized drinking water supply system, it was determined that its level of contamination is large. When the samples treated with a disinfectant solution, a positive effect was observed: no seeds were found on the test materials. Anolyte’s using did not affect the organoleptic Евразийский Союз Ученых (ЕСУ) # 3(72), 2020 5 indicators: freshly squeezed juice was made from the processed raw materials and tasted and smelled like the drink which was made from fruits and vegetables and treated by tap water. A comparative analysis of the results was carried out and it was found that the use of the test solution had a positive effect on the microbiological safety of raw materials

The granulation process, which is determined by many factors like properties of the mixture and the operating parameters, is of very importance for getting a good permeability of the burden in the sintering strand. The prediction of the size distribution of the granules and the permeability of its bed by the artificial neural network was studied in this paper. It was found by the experiments that the order of significance in the granulation process is water content added into the mixture, the mass fraction of the particles of 0.7-3 mm, and the moisture capacity. The water content added in the mixture and the mass fractions of the particles of 0.7-3 mm have the positive relation to the permeability of granulation, While, the moisture capacity has the negative relation to the permeability of granulation. Both the moisture capacity and the water content added were used as the inputs in the model of artificial neural network, which can give a good prediction on the permeability and mass fraction of the granules of 3-8 mm, as well as the tendency of the samples under instable raw materials conditions. These two models can be used for optimization the granulation.

In the course of continuation of scientific research in the development of Kazakhstani technology for the production of trimanganese tetraoxide pigment, there have been proposed new methods of analysis which make it possible to investigate new nanostructural materials sourced from local deposits. The results obtained are of practical importance and serve as the foundation for developing new technologically advanced domestic production of a competitive product that is in demand both on the national and international markets. The available methods are not able to highlight the particularity and diversity of Kazakhstani manganese ores due to the uneven distribution of manganese minerals and host (waste) rock, the quantitative ratio of rock-forming components and their variation instability. Methods of energy-dispersive analysis of manganese ores from Kazakhstani Zhaksylyk and Bogach deposits have been put forward, electronic micrographs, spectrograms of samples, diagrams of normalized distribution of elements on the surface of samples have been obtained and a comparative analysis with raw analogue samples of some foreign manufacturers has been performed.
