The present paper describes the results of the use of new technology of disinfection and processing of agricultural waste by carbon nanostructures modified sodium acetate. Improving the efficiency of processing of agricultural waste was obtained via sodium acetate in the presence of carbon nanotubes. In order to distribute the sodium acetate in the processed waste and subsequent processing of waste effectively special machines/devices were developed. The theoretical substantiation of the basic structural elements was presented for mechanical processing of agricultural waste devices. The experimental investigations showed a high efficiency of technology which led to a reduction of pathogens at the pre-processing of manure by 60%. The consumption of sodium acetate with carbon nanotubes was 50 liters per 1 ton of manure.

The present paper describes an investigation of the application of the carbon nanostructures-and graphene-modified paraffin for the heat exchange elements of means of individual protection. The thermophysical parameters of the modified material and the test benches in the mode of periodical alternation of temperature, when the oxygen with high temperature up to 250°C is produced in the cartridge (with powdered potassium superoxide) and СО2 at 36 оС is arrived from the artificial lung device, were studied.The application of graphene as the modifiers of heat storage materials for the individual protection means of respiratory organs makes it possible to improve cooling efficiency by 25-40°С to create the comfortable conditions for breathing.

The present work aims at implementing heat accumulators in real technological processes and poses a problem of practical importance.Heat accumulators have been the subject of laboratory research for a long time. Several authors have obtained certain results while studying such devices, but only few of them have considered their introduction into the industrial practice. In this regard, the present research provides two directions for applying heat accumulators: thermotherapy and methane tanks.The need to stabilize temperature conditions is common to these processes. To achieve this goal, graphene-modified sodium acetate (thermal conductivity ≈5,000 W/(m K))was used herein as heat accumulator with controlled discharge mode (heat dissipation). The possibility of improving the stability of sodium acetate when introducing graphene thereinto was established. Besides,charge/discharge modes were investigated under the operating conditions of thermotherapy and methane tanks.
