However, the subdivisions of the Navoi MMC are located in the arid, lowwater areas with high (40–80 %) and extreme (more than 80 %) water shortages. Therefore, the problem of water supply, water disposal and improvement of the closed water circulation system with the use of innovative biotechnological solutions is acute for the enterprise. The purpose of this work is to summarize current data on the use of wastewater bioremediation technologies at mining enterprises and to assess the prospects for using this technology by Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company. The article summarizes the data on the use of bioremediation at mining enterprises in Russia and other countries and data obtained from our own experimental studies of the cleansing functions of plants in Uzbekistan. These studies were carried out under the laboratory modeling conditions using wastewater from tailing ponds GMZ-2 and GMZ-3 NMMC. The cleansing functions of the plants of the Zarafshan river valley were studied: eichornia, pistia, azoles and duckweed. It was found that eichornia has the highest cleansing potential: due to the high activity of the cyanidutilizing enzyme beta-cyanoalanine synthase, it accumulates metals and metabolizes cyanides. Pistia and azola have proven to be tolerant to high salinity levels and need to be adapted by adding organic matter, including sheep manure. The next stage is semi-industrial testing in a tailing dump and development of technical regulations.","PeriodicalId":322608,"journal":{"name":"XXI Century.

Its net zooplankton is represented by rotifers, copepods, and cladocerans. An integral part of the pelagic zone is the rotatoriofauna, which surpasses the most numerous group of planktonic animals Copepoda crustaceans in terms of abundance and biomass. Pelagic Rotifera can be used as an indicator of water quality: by consuming phytoplankton, accumulating energy and transferring it to the next trophic levels, rotifers influence other hydrobionts. The purpose of the study is to analyze the development of year-round, winter-spring and summer-autumn groups of rotifers in the pelagial of South Baikal from 2005 to 2014. The dynamics of number and species composition of planktonic rotifers was analyzed. The study revealed that in the 0–50 m layer, year-round species of rotifers dominate, the number of winter-spring rotifers was minimum. The highest numbers of rotifers were recorded in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2014. Their shares in the total number of zooplankton were 16,50 %, 16,00 %, 28,30 % and 48,55 %, respectively. The minimum number of rotifers was observed in 2010–2013, when their shares were 2,12 %, 4,04 %, 2,62 % and 0,04 %. They were represented by 9–17 species. The diversity was more pronounced in the group of summer–autumn rotifers. In 2014, rotifers had an unusually high abundance and were diverse. They accounted for a large share in zooplankton. Over a ten-year period, the number of rotifers varied from 157,66 thousand ind. m-2 (2012) to 13 057,59 thousand copies m-2 (2014).","PeriodicalId":322608,"journal":{"name":"XXI Century.

Baikal is the only large lake in Russia. It ranks sixth in the world in terms of the volume of drinking water reserves whose shortage is observed in a number of countries. Due to the development of tourism in Siberia, the lake ecosystem has already suffered great damage. To identify the reasons for the change in water quality, samples were taken in Listvyanka; quality indicators were analyzed and compared with those obtained in 2017 and 2020. The study revealed that the change in the water composition was caused by improper disposal of household waste and modern detergents containing organic substances and derivatives of petroleum products. Decaying waste increases the water temperature in the bays, which causes the appearance of spirogyra blocking the transport of oxygen to the lake inhabitants. The further spread of spirogyra can cause an ecological disaster. The article describes treatment facilities in Listvyanka and shortcomings of the project. Unfortunately, to restore the ecosystem, it is not enough to limit tourism; measures aimed to improve the productivity of these treatment facilities with a minimum of financial costs are required.","PeriodicalId":322608,"journal":{"name":"XXI Century.

The main reasons for the damage of technological equipment are determined on the example of the head oil pumping station GNPS-1 “Taishet” in connection with fire propagation scenarios; the ways of solving the problems are described. Exceeding the design loads while maintaining the design strength of the equipment causes excessive mechanical effects. An example of the mechanical action is an increase in operating pressure in technological equipment. Violation of the integrity of the structural material of pipelines and technological devices occurs as a result of electrochemical corrosion. In the presence of moisture on the surface of structures, a film containing dissolved air and atmospheric impurities develops. The use of corrosion-resistant materials and the insulation of the inner and outer surfaces of pipelines with anticorrosive coatings increase their reliability. The most dangerous scenarios of accidents, fires, and explosions are accidents at three sites: in the tank farm, at the main oil pumping and back-up pumping stations. The scenarios for the development of an accident of the technological equipment and pipeline sections will allow us to determine the distribution of fire risks on the territory of the facility and beyond its borders, including assessing the magnitude of fire risks in order to develop measures to reduce it.","PeriodicalId":322608,"journal":{"name":"XXI Century.
