This report dwells on the scientific study of the vortical device. The device is designed for efficient combustion of fossil fuels. Oil-water emulsion was taken as an example of alternative fuel. Although the functionality of the burner device is not limited to this fuel only. The innovative burner device under investigation is based on principal of vortical motion of fuel ...

The bearing capacity and settlement of pile foundation were greatly influenced by the temperature variations of soil ground around pile foundation. This paper presented a short report about laboratory static load tests by model precast concrete piles (cross-section 4 × 4 cm and length of 60 cm) in seasonally freezing soil ground. The depth of frozen soil was 10 cm, temperature ...

Understanding the efficiency of different wastewater treatment technologies tested under real conditions is essential for successful decision making by engineers and managers. In this study, real poultry slaughterhouse wastewater coming from defeathering, cooling, and evisceration processes was treated using a lab-scale electrochemical process by use of iron-iron (Fe-Fe), ...

Kazakhstan possesses significant natural resources, including coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium, and also has substantial potential for utilizing renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, and biomass. However, the country currently relies heavily on fossil fuels for electricity generation. Coal-fired power plants account for 75% of the total electricity production, ...

Purpose: This study aims to assess the effect of water variation on bioethanol production from cassava peels (CP) using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast as the ethanologenic agent. Design/methodology/approach: The milled CP was divided into three treatment groups in a small-scale flask experiment where each 20 g CP was subjected to two-stage hydrolysis. Different amount of water ...

This article examines the environmental problems of the oil and gas sector in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors emphasize that for many decades the oil fields of Kazakhstan have developed mainly a raw material management system with extremely high technogenic loads on the environment. It is noted that for Kazakstani economy, oil and gas production and especially ...

In the context of the growing ecological crisis caused by climate change, irrational use of water resources and environmental pollution with dangerous pollutants, an important role is played by assessing the role of environmental damage from crop production. The authors analyzed the environmental compatibility of modern rice production in the main rice growing region in ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology is an essential tool for monitoring living organisms in ecological research. The combination of eDNA methods with traditional methods of ecological observation can significantly improve the study of the ecology of rare species. Here, we present the development and application of an eDNA approach to identify rare sturgeons in the lower reaches ...

Sufficient national fossil resources and an independent water supply system are indispensable elements of the security structure of any state. Energy independence, as a factor in determining self -sufficiency, is now a basic requirement for countries or regions wishing to develop independently and freely. The purpose of this research is to identify the specifics of the ...

The paper presents energy-efficient technology with using microwaves to swell vermiculite. Replacement of traditional firing of vermiculite during exfoliation due to the use of microwave heating is promising, primarily due to lower energy costs.
