The effectiveness of the use of natural minerals of the Terbunskoye deposit and organic waste in the cultivation of rapeseed

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the effect of natural nanoporous minerals together with organic waste from poultry farms on the yield of spring rapeseed, qualitative analysis of seeds and obtained samples of rapeseed oil. The experiments were carried out in 2019-2021 in the experimental field of the Yelets State University named after I.A. Bunin. The object of the study was the Rif spring rape variety. The highest productivity was observed in the variants with the introduction of zeolite (3 t / ha) in combination with organic waste 5 t / ha and 10 t / ha, which amounted to 34.4 c / ha and 34.9 c / ha, respectively. These options provided the maximum gross yield of protein (9.74 c / ha and 9.95 c / ha) and oil (13.95 c / ha and 14.10 c / ha). A positive effect from the use of natural zeolite as a fertilizer on the accumulation of oleic acid in the obtained rapeseed oil samples has been established.

EVALUATION OF PHYTOTOXICITY OF NATURAL MINERALS

An assessment of the phytotoxicity of natural (lime, zeolite and phosphorite) minerals and their nanostructured analogues (nanostructured lime, nanostructured water-zeolite suspension (NWZS), nanostructured water-phosphate suspension (NWPS) and a spine) has been carried out. a monocotyledonous test plant (spring wheat variety Ulyanovskaya-105) has a positive effect on all studied minerals. The length of the seedling among native minerals is stimulated by lime and phosphorite, among nanominerals - nanostructured lime and NWZS. All native minerals have a positive effect on biometric indicators, among nanostructural ones – nano-lime and NWPS. Seedling biomass is stimulated only by zeolite and NWZS. Thus, native zeolite has the best data on the length of the seedling (by 48.9 %), the length of the coleoptile (by 53.6 %) and the biomass of the seedling (by 16.1 %), and in NWZS - along the root length (by 12.8 %), root biomass (by 13.5 %) and seedling biomass (by 13.7 %). Thus, according to most indicators, the best are zeolite (among native ones) and NWZS (among nanostructured minerals).

Preparation and properties of an intelligent adjustable functional paper for organic cultural relics

Precious organic cultural relics are easily affected by temperature, humidity, and harmful gases in the environment, resulting in embrittlement, fading, mildew, moth damage and other aging forms. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly material is needed to stabilize humidity and adsorb harmful gases in the environment. In this paper, with an intelligent adjustment function, functional paper containing sepiolite and tourmaline natural minerals was successfully prepared. The component of 80 % of wingceltis and 20 % of straw in dry pulp as main raw material was conducive to the desorption of water molecules. As favorable structure inside functional paper, the adsorption point and the adsorption contact area increased by the rough surface of fiber bundles, the addition of sepiolite and the ordered molecular chains of copolymers destroyed. So, the relative humidity could be adjusted to 55 % ± 3 within 2 hours and was stable with functional paper. At the same time, 1.11 ppm sulfur dioxide and 2.98 ppm ammonia could be effectively adsorbed in 10 and 12 h, respectively, by 1 g of paper in a 5 L container. The pH of the paper was adjusted to neutral with tourmaline, even if the pH was changed by acidic or alkaline gas absorption. Therefore, for long-term organic cultural relic preservation, preparing a constant-humidity and clean environment is of great significance. This is possible through this paper.

Enanced removal of scaling cations from oilfield produced water by carrier mineral floatation

This work reports a novel carrier flotation protocol for removing scaling cations from an oilfield produced water source which significantly reduces the collector consumption by employing natural minerals such as quartz, montmorillonite and talcum as the scaling cations carriers. The scaling cations uptake onto all carrier minerals exhibited homogeneous and monolayer adsorption, which was mainly dominated by physisorption. After adding oleate collector, the scaling cations removal rate was further enhanced, which was attributed to its high affinity with the scaling cations. Notably, the talcum flotation process simultaneously offered high scaling cations removal rate (76.1%) and mineral recovery rate (98.3%), which achieved a sediment yield reduction of 72.2%. By summarizing the characterization results, the scaling cations removal mechanisms were also proposed. Moreover, high regeneration efficiencies (86.1% and 84.8% for quartz and talcum regeneration within 3 cycles) were achieved by the proposed regeneration protocol. This carrier flotation protocol with its low collector consumption offered technical promise for scaling cations removal from oilfield produced water.

Analgesic Effect Study of Young Coconut Water (Cocos nucifera L.) on Mice (Mus musculus) Induced with Pain using Acetic Acid

Introduction: Pain signals tissue damage that is capable of reducing thequality of life. Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are known as effective analgesic drugs which have various side effects, therefore natural minerals are used as an alternative medicine for pain and inflammation, one of which is known to be coconut water. Hence this research was conducted to find out the differences of the analgesic effect between young coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) with non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.Methods: True experimental, conducted at the Pharmacology Laboratory in Faculty of Medicine of Airlangga University involving the sample of 48 mice (6 groups). The recorded data was tested using the oneway ANOVA methodology before then continued with the posthoc test of LSD.Results: The addition of young coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) with the dosage of 3 ml/100gBW, 4 ml/100gBW, and 4.5 ml/100gBW of mice doesn't give any significant analgesic effect even though the analgesic protection percentage increases accordingly to its dosage (12.32%, 18.72%, 26.88%), but non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID give significant analgesic effect (p<0.05) on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.Conclusion: There are differences in the analgesic effect of young coconut water (C. nucifera L.) with non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.

Synthesized nickel sulfides were selected as model samples, identical in composition and structure to natural minerals: millerite and heazlewudite. The dependences of the influence of the metal extraction rate on the concentration of sulfuric acid, temperature, disk rotation frequency and duration of interaction are obtained. The polynomial models of the process under study, transformed into velocity equations, are calculated. The rate constants and empirical values of the activation energy are calculated.
