The polishing technique with Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) powder has been developed to decrease the surface roughness of Ni-based anode in order to deposit a crack-free electrolyte layer. The 3 μm YSZ thin-film electrolyte was deposited by the pulsed laser deposition technique on the surface of the anode. Morphological and elemental analyses of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. X-ray diffraction was used for phase analysis and structural characterization. The specific surface areas of the resulting anodes were calculated from their isotherms of N2 adsorption and desorption using the Sorbtometer and calculated by Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET) method. As a result, the highest mechanical strength and specific surface area (15.42 m2g-1) possessed a sample with the content of PFA equal to 40%, while its ionic conductivity at 800 °C reached 6. 4∙10-2 S/cm.","PeriodicalId":11795,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"9-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41982498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper is presented in two main sections: 1) a review of the materials’ colloidal structure and the required properties for the industrial and paving applications; 2) a wide range of experimental tests with which the bituminous binders were studied and compared. In this research, a 160/220 industrial bitumen was studied and compared to a paving-grade bitumen with the same penetration and with a lower penetration, 70/100 one. The research consisted of physical, chemical, thermal, microstructural, and rheological analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of these bituminous binders of diverse applications. Overall, the comparison of the tests’ results indicated that while the asphaltene content and its characteristics have a great influence on the bitumen’s properties, it is not the only fundamental factor. During the study of the chemical structures via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), it was found that the Peri phase (attributed to the resins) also plays an important role, defining the bitumen’s physical visco-elastic properties. In fact, from a microstructural point of view using AFM a significant difference was notified between the industrial bitumen and the paving-grade ones. These differences allow the paving-grade bitumens to be more elastic and ductile compared to the industrial bitumen.","PeriodicalId":11795,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48883247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The binding of metal ions to gels occurs through the formation of electrostatic bonds between the charged surface of bentonite clay and ionogenic functional groups of polymers in the composition, as well as the coordination bonds between metal ions and unshared pairs of oxygen electrons in the functional groups of polymers. The gel swelling degree decreases in metal solutions with increasing metals concentration and the content of BC in the composite. The sorption and desorption of heavy metal ions from the polymer-clay composites from model solutions and samples of industrial wastewater from the Kazakhstani metallurgical plants were evaluated. The adjustment of the pH, the temperature of the medium and the clay content in the composite leads to increasing the degree of sorption and achieving regeneration of the used composite gels in certain media.

Flame can be considered as a chemical reactor to produce target products. The main feature of the processes based on technological combustion is that the target product is formed as a result of the combustion reaction, occurring spontaneously at high temperatures with a high speed without consuming external energy, i.e. due to its own heat.

Fragment composition of oil hydrocarbons before and after electrohydraulic treatment was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that the conversion of heavy oil fractions to light ones begins with a five-time electrohydraulic impact. It is determined that 20‒25 electric discharge pulses are sufficient for the quantitative process of splitting hydrocarbons. It was found that the addition of xylene to high-viscosity oil leads to an increase in the conversion of hydrocarbons under electrohydraulic action. The content of paraffins and naphthalenes in high-viscosity oil is slightly reduced during electrohydraulic processing. In oil, after electrohydraulic action, a decrease in the proportion of protons of long alkyl terminal СН3-groups of hydrocarbons is observed, which indicates the process of decomposition of heavy oil fractions into light fractions.","PeriodicalId":11795,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46937071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The molecular structure, chemical composition and morphology of the double-layer films were investigated by FTIR, XPS and SEM. The results showed that the surfaces of the double-layer films are uniform and the thicknesses can reach micron level. In addition, the two layers are well bonded. Then the films were sliced and immersed in PBS solution, and the time-dependent variable was used to analyze the kinetic slow-release behavior of CIP in the double-layer films by agar diffusion antibacterial experiments. It can be seen that sustained release time of CIP in the double-layer films can be up to 7 days, which is due to fact that the upper PU film working as a sealing layer helps to realize the drug slow-release.
