At the present stage of economic development, international trade is becoming an arena for solving geopolitical problems. The implementation of the export potential in the context of the concept of sustainable development is based on a detailed analysis of trends in the export specialization of national economy priority sectors. The subject of the ...
A trial coagulation of the water of the Volchikhinsky reservoir with aluminum sulfate and aluminum polyoxychloride was carried out in order to compare the effectiveness of reducing the content of total organic carbon (TOC). It is noted that aluminum sulfate more effectively reduces the concentration of TOC without loss of quality in other indicator...
Nitrogen sources modified biochar was produced from rice straw-derived biochar (RSBC) via pyrolysis carbonization using nitrogen sources such as ammonium chloride, dicyandiamide, melamine, thiourea, and urea. The characteristics of the resulting biochars were compared, including their elemental compositions, surface functional groups, and morpholog...

The development of a high-performing adsorbent that can capture both iodine vapor from volatile nuclear waste and traces of iodine species from water is an important challenge, especially in industrially relevant process conditions. This study introduces novel imidazopyridinium-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) through post-modification of a...
Transport and selectivity parameters describe the quantity and purity of nutrients and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) separated from fermentation media. However, the complexity of fermentation media and low nutrient concentrations hinder the optimal conditions of such parameters. Exploring technologies to overcome such limitations is crucial for selec...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made organic compounds ubiquitously present in the environment. Due to their persistency and bioaccumulative nature, and because of increasingly stringent regulations of PFAS, their removal from the environment is necessary. Our initial study identified all-silica zeolite β as an alternative adsorb...
Accurate data of cadmium (Cd) and uranium (U) leaching are needed in the context of identifying their mass balances in agricultural soils. There is some controversy related to sampling methods and the contribution of colloid facilitated transport. Here, leaching was measured in undisturbed unsaturated soils and the impact of colloids was measured w...
