This paper presents studies on the possibility of utilization of technogenic waste from the metallurgical industry by the method of complex processing in order to reduce the anthropogenic load on the environment of the region with the example of the zinc silicate-magnetite-carbon system. The selected sample of clinker dump from welting was subjected to chemical and scanning electron microscopic analyses and thermodynamic modeling. Thermodynamic studies were carried out in the temperature range 1600–2200 K and pressure p = 0.1 MPa, modeling the process of electric melting of clinker from welting in an arc furnace using the software application Astra 4 developed at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Moscow, Russian Federation). As a result of the thermodynamic modeling, the optimal temperature range was established, which was 1800–1900 K. Thermodynamic studies established that it is possible to drive away zinc from the system under study by 99–100% in the entire temperature range under study. The maximum degree of silicon extraction (αSi) in the alloy is up to 69.44% at T = 1900 K, and the degree of iron extraction (αFe) in the alloy is up to 99.996%. In particular, it was determined and proved that clinker waste from welting can act as a secondary technogenic raw material when it is processed as a mono mixture to produce iron silicides with a silicon content of 18 to 28%.

Wheat is the main cereal crop in Kazakhstan and fertilizers play an important role in enhancing harvest growth. In this study, the impact of new sulfur-containing fertilizers on the growth and yield of wheat was evaluated, and the resistance of varieties to Puccinia triticina Erikss was also investigated. (also known as Puccinia recondite Rob. ex Desm.) for recommendations in agriculture. The study was conducted from 2017 to 2020 in a nursery and greenhouse. The sulfur-containing fertilizer contains nutrients that allow you to extend the duration of absorption by the plant, thereby extending the period of their availability to plants, compared to conventional preparations. By encapsulating molten elemental sulfur and impregnating with a solution of calcium polysulfide, a long-acting compound based on amorphous and monocalcium phosphate was developed. The sulfur is in a water-soluble sulfate form, which, in turn, is slowly oxidized by bacteria and retained in the soil. Three different types of the developed sulfur-containing nano-particle have been used to test in greenhouses and nurseries: powdered, pasty sulfur-containing composition, and a solution of calcium polysulfide. The results showed that the use of powdered and dissolved sulfur-containing fertilizers contributed to the early ripeness and increased productivity of wheat. Wheat varieties were tested for the presence of key Lr genes that determine resistance to brown rust. The Omskaya 29 sample showed an immune response according to phytopathological assessment, and molecular screening revealed four resistance genes. The new sulfur-containing product is recommended for improving wheat productivity in agriculture, and the Omskaya 29 variety can also be used as a valuable breeding material resistant to brown rust.

This article presents an analysis of the mathematical description of the process of film condensation of vapors from vapor-gas mixtures. Taking into account the considerable variety of effects that occur during the flow of films in processes in which phase transformations occur, the complexity of the mathematical description of the flow of condensate films becomes obvious. This complexity of describing the process is aggravated by the combination of heat and mass transfer, non- isothermic, and changes in such properties as surface tension, viscosity, and density. To describe the flow rate and film thickness during film condensation, a fundamental system of equations is used, and the equations of dynamics and continuity in the long-wave approximation are also taken into account. The estimation of the propagation length of nonlinear waves in condensate films with varying flow rates showed that with an increase in the condensation intensity, the role of the proposed corrections increases, but within the limits of the validity of the thin-film approximation does not become decisive and significant. During the description of the process of film condensation of vapors from steam-gas mixtures, it was found that when the basic conditions are met, the influence of undulation manifests itself mainly through an increase in the heat exchange surface, and the contribution of surface forces to the intensification of the process, i.e., an increase in condensate consumption, is no more than 10-12%
