Research into surface properties of disperse fillers based on plant raw materials

The possibility of increasing the complexity of the operational properties of environmentally safe biodegradable polymer hydrogel materials based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose due to modification by humic acids from lignite is considered. As a result of this research, environmentally safe hybrid hydrogel films with antibacterial properties were received. In the framework of physicochemical studies, it was determined by IR spectroscopy that hydroxypropyl methylcellulose modified with humic acids hybridmaterials are received by the mechanism of matrix synthesis, which is accompanied by hydroxypropyl methylcellulose crosslinking through multipoint interaction with the carboxyl group of humic acids. Regularities in terms of changes in water absorption, gelation time, and mold emergence time regarding the environmentally safe biodegradable polymer hydrogel materials based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose depending on the humic acid content were revealed. It was established that the optimal humic acid content in environmentally safe biodegradable hydrogel films with bactericidal properties based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is 15% by mass. It was also established that the hybrid modification of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with humic acids allows them to preserve their biodegradation properties while giving them antibacterial properties. The environmentally safe biodegradable hydrogel films with bactericidal properties based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and humic acids are superior in their operational characteristics to known similar biodegradable hydrogel films based on natural biopolymers.

The ways of using coffee grounds as fillers for biodegradable polymer material and dishes from it is shown. Research of chemical, physical, mechanical and operational properties of new high-filler composite based on polylactide are carried out. It is also noticed, that using coffee grounds as fillers for polymer materials can decrease the total volume of it at landfills faster than any other method of coffee ground reuse.

We demonstrate that if the exponent γ that measures nonsmoothness of the velocity field is small then the isotropic zero modes of the scalar's triple correlation function have the scaling exponents proportional to $\sqrt{\gamma }$. Therefore, zero modes are subleading with respect to the forced solution that has normal scaling with the exponent γ.

Sorption resistances of environmentally friendly polymeric materials in different liquid mediums are studying in this work. As part of environmentally friendly polymeric materials based on polylactide, OK compost HOME plastic and coffee grounds sorption studying in different liquid mediums, the most stable compositions were identified in terms of size stability and diffusion coefficient. microscopic analysis of new environmentally friendly polymeric materials before and after exposure in operating liquid mediums was made and compositions with the least surface changes were determined.

Purpose. To carry out marking of existing deposits of brown coal in accordance with domestic and international classifications. To give a comparative assessment of the distribution of balance reserves of brown coal in accordance with different classification systems. Methodology. Reserves and quality indicators data for brown coal in Ukraine were taken from the site of the State Research and Production Enterprise State Information Geological Fund of Ukraine and on the basis of our own research. Some quality indicators were calculated according to the formulas given in the periodical scientific literature. Ukraines brown coal reserves were estimated using Ukrainian and international brown coal classifications. Findings. It is confirmed that the balance reserves of brown coal in Ukraine are located in Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zakarpattia, Kirovohrad, Kharkiv and Cherkasy regions and are (thousand tons): categories A + B + C1 2,593,359; category C2 299,181. Among the existing classifications, the most suitable for the brown coal distribution in Ukraine is the International Code System of Brown Coal, which is regulated in ISO 2950:1974 Brown coal and lignites Classification by types on the basis of total moisture content and tar yield. Originality. For the first time, a range of changes in brown coal quality indicators in Ukraine has been established, and its reserves have been marked using Ukrainian (DSTU 3472:2015) and international (ISO 2950:1974; International Classification of Coal in Reservoirs; ISO 11760:2005; ASTM D38812) classifications. Comparative assessment of coal reserves will allow choosing the optimal ways of their processing, depending on the predicted properties of raw materials. Practical value. The reserves of brown coal deposits by regions and the degree of industrial development up to 01.01.2021 have been described, and the production of brown coal from 2011 to 2020 has been shown. Determining the quality of brown coal deposits in Ukraine allows us to develop the most effective methods for using the coal.
