Investigation of the effect of plasma treatment of carbon felt on its electrochemical properties
摘要
nowadays, the popularity of vanadium flow batteries is rapidly growing in the world due to higher stability during long-term operation and low costs when creating systems with long battery life. At the same time, research aimed at developing methods to increase the electrocatalytic activity of carbon felt materials in relation to vanadium ions has been largely developed to increase the specific power of flow cells, which are an integral part of vanadium flow batteries. One of the approaches to the modification of these materials is plasma treatment. In this work, two-stage plasma treatment of carbon felt was carried out, first in the medium of one gas, and then in the medium of another gas. Oxygen and nitrogen are selected as the gas. It has been shown that regardless of the order in which plasma treatment is performed, there is a similar trend in the value of the potential difference between the peak of oxidation and the peak of reduction, first it increases in the first stage, and then decreases in the second stage. However, nitrogen treatment at the second stage tends to decrease the potential difference more rapidly (almost 2 times), which we observe in this work.

Grinding aid for cement clinker
摘要
this article presents an analysis of various techniques that contribute to enhancing the efficiency of cement clinker grinding, and their implications for the quality and technical properties of cement. The study considers not only conventional, but also novel substances used as grinding additives, including coal, carbon black, triethanolamine, rosins, lignins, as well as novel components such as "Lithoplast IP1", InCEM, and MC-GRINDINGPRO 01. Special attention is given to the most promising grinding intensifiers, particularly "Lithoplast IP1", which has significantly increased mill productivity by 11.1–19.2% while reducing power consumption by 8.9–15.6%. The article presents the results of tests that demonstrate the positive impact of this additive on the flowability, grinding and physico-mechanical properties of cement. The benefits of using the "InCEM" intensifier, including the potential to enhance the strength characteristics and optimize the grinding process of cement, are also discussed. A separate section of the article focuses on the work of researchers M.A. Goncharova, L.V. Zamyshlyaeva, and H.G.H. Al-Surrawi on the use of energy-efficient domestic intensifiers like IP-1 and IM-2. These authors analyze the impact of these additives on the initial strength of cement and grinding efficiency. According to the results of the study, the introduction of compounds IP-1 and IM-2 into cement has been shown to increase its initial strength by 3.7 MPa and decrease the coefficient of water absorption, thereby improving the quality characteristics of the final product. Based on these findings, the article emphasizes the significance of grinding intensifiers in enhancing the efficiency and quality of cement production, as well as in reducing operational costs and enhancing the reliability of building materials.

Investigation of chemical power sources on an automated electronic load with controlled parameters
摘要
hybrid installations for converting fuel energy into electricity are a promising way to provide humanity with affordable energy resources. However, the issue of obtaining reagents (hydrogen and oxygen) with high purity remains one of the most urgent. In this work, the energy characteristics of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell in combination with a water electrolyzer were investigated. Membrane-electrode assemblies were formed consisting of a modified membrane based on polytetrafluoroethylene with a platinum-containing component (Pt(30%)/C), as well as an anode and cathode made of carbon fabric and porous nickel doped with technical carbon and graphene. The structural characteristics of the material were studied using the scanning electron microscopy method. For the first time the investigation of hydrogen-oxygen membrane-electrode assemblies energy characteristics was carried out on an automated electronic load AKIP-1375/1E with embedded software. In the developed hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, a more affordable commercial polytetrafluoroethylene-based membrane was used as a solid polymer electrolyte instead of the Nafion membrane, which significantly reduced the cost of developed MEA. As a result of the tests carried out, it was found that the maximum specific power is demonstrated by elements constructed on the basis of an anode and a cathode made of porous nickel modified with graphene.

Conductive polymers as transparent electrodes: structure, functional characteristics, preparation methods, applications
摘要
this paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the current state and advancements in major transparent conducting polymers, which are considered promising alternatives to traditional transparent electrodes based on metal oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO). These polymers possess unique properties, including flexibility, light weight, and ease of integration into flexible and stretchable optoelectronic devices, making them highly attractive for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thin-film transistors, solar cells, sensors, flexible displays, and a range of other applications. The paper presents publication statistics for this research area over the past 10 years based on data from the Scopus database of peer-reviewed scientific literature. It briefly discusses the conduction mechanisms in these polymers, which influence key properties such as electrical conductivity, transparency, and stability under external factors. Various methods for producing these polymers are examined, including chemical deposition, electrochemical techniques, and the incorporation of conductive nanoparticles to enhance functional characteristics. The analysis culminates in a summary table containing data on the transparency, conductivity, and other functional properties of different polymer materials, facilitating their selection for specific applications. Additionally, the paper addresses the prospects and challenges associated with the use of these polymers in flexible electronics, next-generation displays, and other emerging technologies where traditional materials may be less effective or practical.

Rheological properties and structure formation of a mineral suspension with a complex organic and mineral additive
摘要
this work is aimed at studying the rheological properties and processes of structure formation in highly concentrated mineral suspensions modified with a complex organic and mineral additive based on a fluoroglucinifurfural oligomer and nanodiamond silicon dioxide particles. Methods. The distribution of silicon dioxide particles and their modal size in additives were determined by laser light diffraction on the Mastersizer 3000 device and by dynamic light scattering on the Microtrac S3500 device. The rheological properties of the suspensions were determined using a coaxial cylindrical rotary viscometer of the gearless type “Rheotest-2.1”. The setting time and structure formation of the cement dough were evaluated on a Vika device. The plastic strength of the cement dough was determined using a conical Rebinder plastometer. The compressive strength of cement stone was determined using an automatic hydraulic press “PGM-100MG4”. Conclusions. It has been established that a complex organic and mineral additive reduces the limiting dynamic shear stresses of mineral mixtures, reduces the plastic strength of mixtures in the initial period and shortens the setting time, providing a balance between deceleration and strength development due to the directional formation of consolidated supramolecular calcium silicate structures that structure the cement matrix. It was found that silicon dioxide nanoparticles, which are part of a complex organic and mineral additive, do not affect the rheological properties of the system in the initial period, unlike Aerosil particles, which increase the limiting dynamic shear stress of the mixture, due to the high particle dispersion.

Study of temperature and salinity effect on encapsulated surfactants ability to alter wettability and decrease interfacial tension
摘要
in recent decades, the task of increasing the oil recovery factor from productive formations has not lost its relevance. Today, there is a rapidly growing interest in the use of chemical methods to increase oil recovery to enhance production, in particular, using surfactants. To overcome the problem of high adsorption, which prevents the widespread introduction of surfactant flooding in carbonate formations, it is proposed to use the technology of encapsulating surfactants in a solid shell. Thus, the active substance can cover a large part of the reservoir, and therefore more oil can be extracted by injecting surfactants. In this work, the influence of typical reservoir conditions (high temperature and salinity) on the main properties of the dispersions of encapsulated surfactants, namely, a decrease in interfacial tension and a change in wettability, was studied. It is shown that the application of the encapsulation method preserves the necessary properties of surfactants, at which low interfacial tension is observed, and the surface of the carbonate rock becomes more hydrophilic.

The effect of antioxidants on the survival of yeast cells under the action of X-ray irradiation
摘要
objectives: Saccharomyces yeast is one of the most studied species for the study of eukaryotic cells. The effect of ionizing radiation on living organisms is studied in radiobiology, the main task of which is to identify the laws of the biological reaction of the body to radiation. This will help to develop methods for monitoring radiation reactions and means of protection against radiation. There are unresolved problems in radiobiology, one of which is radiosensitivity. To study radiation sensitivity, the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae T-985 was used, as well as rutin, a biologically active substance, a flavonoid with antioxidant and other beneficial properties. Methods. The spectrophotometric method is based on the use of the free stable radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrosyl (DPPH). After the end of cultivation, aliquots of the yeast suspension were taken from the flasks and transferred into glass flasks with a volume of 1 mL for subsequent irradiation at the Model- KALAN 4 X-ray unit in the IMSEN-IFC of the D.I. Mendeleev Russian Chemical University at an absorbed dose rate of 3 Gy/s according to the Fricke dosimeter [10, 11]. To detect the effects of ionizing radiation and compare the results with the control sample, optical density measurement and microscopy were used. Results. Rutin may have a protective effect on yeast cells after X-ray irradiation. It has been shown in studies that rutin can reduce oxidative stress and DNA damage caused by irradiation. This may be due to its ability to neutralize free radicals and repair damaged molecules. Comparing the results of 0.05mM rutin and rutin and hydrogen peroxide systems, it can be noted that the active form of oxygen negatively affects the survival rate of yeast cells. ionol has a favorable effect on survival and repair processes in yeast cells. The addition of hydrogen peroxide significantly decreases the survival rate of cells immediately after irradiation, but promotes the reparative processes. As a result of experiments, addition of Rutin with the concentration of 5·10-4mol/L potentially increases the number of viable cells capable of colony formation than addition of Rutin with the concentration of 5·10-5mol/L. CFU of S. cerevisiae species with the addition of rutin at different concentrations decreases many times in relation to the control after 3 days at a dose of 400 Gy and 800 Gy of X-ray irradiation. Conclusions. - With increasing irradiation dose the concentration of rutin decreases, which suggests that it is consumed. The radiation chemical yield of rutin consumption was determined: G (0-400)=0.04 molecules/100 eV; G(400-2000)=0.10 molecules/100 eV. - The inhibition effect in the reaction with DPPH of rutin solutions without irradiation and one day after irradiation was determined. The numerical values are in the range from 67% to 86%, which is more than 50%, which means that rutin has high antiradical properties after irradiation. - Percentage of dead cells in suspension when rutin was added is less compared to the percentage of dead cells in suspension without rutin at the same absorbed doses. - In tubes with the addition of rutin of different concentrations, which received a dose of 800 Gy, a day after irradiation, there is a significant decrease in the percentage of dead cells compared to the same data obtained without the addition of rutin. This can be interpreted as active repair processes. - At addition of rutin with concentration 5·10-4 mol/l the percentage of dead cells is less than at addition of rutin with concentration 5·10-5 mol/l.

Removal of harmful gases from the air stream using carbon sorbents based on plant waste of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
摘要
objectives: in this work, we evaluated the ability of the adsorbent of gas-vapor activated carbon obtained from the shells of macadamia nuts of one of the enterprises in Myanmar as an agent of the recovery technology using the example of the extraction of n-butanol vapors from their mixtures with air (AVM). Methods. The object of the study was pre-dried macadamia nuts, which were crushed, heat treated at 650-700°C for 60 minutes in pyrolysis, followed by water vapor at a temperature rise of 15 °C/min without thermal exposure, the specific consumption of water vapor was 5 g per 1 g of the resulting activated carbon. The obtained sorbents were analyzed for the sorption properties of C6H6, CCL4and H2O vapour. Their total volume was determined, their porous structure was estimated by the volume of pores of various sizes, the absorption of iodine and methylene blue from aqueous solutions. Their ability to remove harmful gases during adsorption of n-butanol at different relative pressures was characterized and their adsorption kinetics and isotherms were studied. Results. It is shown that the values of the coefficients obtained from the kinetic equation a = A(1-e-B·τ) of the obtained active carbons are preliminarily performed in their pores with butanol. According to the values of A and B, these sorbents are actively absorbed by harmful gases from the vapor-air mixture. For comparison, the article presents the quality indicators of active carbons of the CS (coconut shell) and PS (plum seed) brand made frоm a number of agricultural wastes of Myanmar. Conclusions. The studies allow us to state quite satisfactory absorption properties of the obtained new activated carbon from the shell of macadamia nuts, in the studied process of extracting n-butanol vapors from their mixtures with air, which indicates the probable competitiveness of this adsorbent in solving the problems of purification from vapors of organic substances of emissions of high concentrations, provided that its production is organized in the conditions of Myanmar.
