The research into the operation of this production and its performance indicators revealed that 24–26 % of losses in soda ash production were caused by violations of the technological mode at the absorption-distillation department. Many of these violations can be prevented, and losses can be significantly reduced, by developing a system of diagnosing the state of technological processes at this department. The main task of the diagnosing system at the absorption-distillation department is to determine the moment of transition of the technological process to the emergency state, disabling the control system, informing a technologist-operator about the probable cause of the emergency, and giving recommendations for its elimination. After the elimination of the reasons for the deviation of the technological process from normal functioning, the measures on switching on the control system are taken. The system of diagnosing an absorption-distillation department of soda ash production should be implemented based on the passive observations of the course of the technological process. This is due to the continuity of production, on the one hand, and the requirement to adhere to the mode of the normal functioning of the technological process, on the other hand. The results of the analysis of diagnosing emergencies prove that the implementation of the method of logical decision tables will enhance the speed of the diagnosing process and improve its quality due to the prevention and timely liquidation of emergencies. It was established that if the same emergency analysis vector corresponds to different causes of emergencies in this system, it is necessary to use characteristics of the statistical theory of solutions.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75332559","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 purpose of this work is to substantiate the technology of “AP-helmin” tablets preparation and to establish the possible critical parameters of the production process.Materials and methods. Objects such as a mixture of pure substances albendazole and praziquantel in the ratio (1:4), tablet mass and tablet core samples were used in the research. The usual physicochemical and pharmacotechnological methods of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine were used in the work, namely, the appearance, physical parameters, bulk density, compressibility, flowability, crushing force, determination of average mass, uniformity of mass, resistance to crushing and disintegration time were evaluated.Results. It was found that the mixture of active substances has poor flowability, indicating the need to enter the stage of wet granulation in the development of tablet technology with them.The wet granulation stage was carried out with the addition of such excipients as corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose 101 (MCC-101) and povidone (as a 10 % solution).Studies of the 4 samples of tablet mass allowed establishing the most rational composition for the formation of tablets-cores – sample number 4. The samples of composition No. 4 are white core tablets, homogeneous, without chips and cracks, and with respect to resistance to crushing and disintegration time meet the requirements of SPhU (96 N and 8 min 27 sec, respectively).The next stage of the study was the development of a common technology for the preparation of the tablets “AP-helmin”.

However, achieving high-performance and stable PSCs with negligible photocurrent hysteresis behavior is still a challenging task due to the intrinsic foibles of perovskites. In this work, we report efficient and stable PSCs with dramatically suppressed photocurrent hysteresis by CH3NH3PbI3 co-crystallized with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). It is found that PEO-CH3NH3PbI3 thin film exhibit superior film morphology and significantly enlarged crystal grains as compared with CH3NH3PbI3 thin film. Systematical investigations reveal that the introduction of PEO in CH3NH3PbI3 could improve the charge transport and reduce the charge carrier recombination and promote the charge carrier extraction time within PSCs. As a result, PSCs by PEO-CH3NH3PbI3 thin film exhibit a power convention efficiency of 20.73%, which is over 20% enhancement as compared with that (17.42%) from PSCs by CH3NH3PbI3 thin film. Moreover, photocurrent hysteresis is dramatically suppressed in PSCs by PEO-CH3NH3PbI3 thin film. In addition, PSCs by PEO-CH3NH3PbI3 thin film exhibit boosted stability. All these results demonstrate that perovskites co-crystallized with polymers is an efficient approach towards high performance PSCs.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88972808","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}

However, the mechanism of SB-induced cracking in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) materials have not been revealed so far. Here we studied underlying elastic cyclic deformation and associated dislocation activities within the SBs in a rare earth-containing magnesium (RE-Mg) alloy. The results show that basal slip is the solo deformation mode at grain scale, but gliding of dislocation is still visible near grain boundaries to accommodate localized in the nucleation and growth of damaged zone and move towards the matrix-SB interface, at which the internal cracks initiate and coalesce together forming facet morphology on fracture surface. The contribution of dislocation motion to the formation of damaged zone is believed to retard the development of basal SBs, correspondingly enhancing the fatigue resistance of RE-mg alloys.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83508655","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}

Ball mills and rod mills are used for their grinding and further processing in Balkhash, Zhezkazgan. Ball mills with gear drive rings in the drums suffer from intense wear of the teeth due to the heavy mode of the mill operation. It thus necessitates their frequent replacement and long mill downtime. The gears of the ball mill drive experience an intense impact stress, which reduces the resource of their operation and the mill as a whole due to wear. The article presents research on developing rational parameters of involute gearing, aimed at increasing the loading capacity of the gear as well as reducing the overall dimensions, noise, and vibration. In order to solve the set tasks, dynamic processes are simulated, modification of the teeth is proposed, and the task of designing the initial meshing contour is solved when the line of the tooth profile is slightly deviated from the involute curve of the tooth surface. The kinematic and dynamic parameters of a tooth transmission influencing the wear resistance of teeth are found out, and also the influence of the loading capacity under conditions of stable lubrication is determined.

Treatment of Bentonite clay with 5 - 10M sulphuric acid (H2SO4) followed by calcination at 600 0C showed removal of metallic impurities which increased porosity. The physical and chemical characteristics of modified clay were checked by WET process analysis and FTIR.
