ntroduction. The development of the enrichment industry has identified significant requirements for the development of new technologies and equipment, including the method of magnetic separation. Problem Statement. Advantages of cryomagnetic separation complexes are determined by the efficiency of solving the problem of creating their cryogenic support systems. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop a cryogenic supply system (CsC) by solution scientific technical and design and technological problems of cryomagnetic systems creation based on micro-cryogenic closed cycle systems (MCs). Materials аnd Methods. The material of the research is the design of sCs with built-in superconducting magnetic system (SMs) and two MCs.

Introduction. The processing of livestock waste and agricultural production enables not only improving environmental safety, but also obtaining energy resources. Problem Statement. Cow manure is used to produce biogas, but its yield is relatively low. One way to increase biogas yield is the joint fermentation of cow manure with substandard flour, which cannot be used as human food and as feed for farm animals. However, the flour content in the substrate, at which the biogas yield is maximum and there is no inhibition of the methane fermentation process, is not a solved issue. Purpose. Increase biogas yield by adding substandard flour to a cow manure-based substrate. Materials and Methods. Research of biogas yield during methane fermentation of substrate based on cow manure with the addition of substandard flour was carried out on a biogas plant consisting of a methane tank with a working volume of 30 l and wet gasholder at periodic substrate loading and fermentation temperature 35 °C. The portion of the substrate included 1.7 kg of manure, 2.5 kg of water and 50, 100, 250 or 500 g of flour. The composition of flour in the substrate was 1.2%, 2.3%, 5.6% and 10.6%. The dichotomy method was used to determine the optimal flour content in the substrate, provided the maximum biogas yield. Results. The maximum biomethane release is 14.3 l/kg dry organic matter (DOM), at 1.2% of the flour content in the substrate; 20.9 l/kg DOM, at 2.3%; 19.2 l/kg DOM, at 5.6%. At a content of 10.6% flour in the substrate, the biogas did not burn, fermentation quickly stopped. The optimum flour content in the substrate based on cow manure, in which the biogas yield increases 1.5 times, is 3.7%. Conclusions. Based on the conducted experimental studies, a model of biogas yield with gradual loading of the substrate was built and the optimal flour content in the substrate was determined, at which the maximum biogas yield is provided. Вступ. Важливим господарським питанням є переробка відходів тваринництва і сільськогосподарського виробництва не тільки для покращення екологічної безпеки, а й для отримання енергетичних ресурсів. Проблематика. Коров’ячий гній застосовується для отримання біогазу, однак його вихід при цьому відносно низький. Одним із шляхів підвищення виходу є спільне зброджування коров’ячого гною з некондиційним борошном, яке не можна використовувати як продукт харчування для людини та як корм для сільськогосподарських тварин. Проте вміст його в субстраті, при якому вихід біогазу є максимальним і не відбувається інгібування процесу метанового бродіння, не визначено. Мета. Підвищення виходу біогазу шляхом раціонального додавання некондиційного борошна до субстрату на основі коров’ячого гною. Матеріали й методи. Дослідження виходу біогазу при метановому зброджуванні субстрату на основі коров’ячого гною з додаванням некондиційного борошна здійснювали на біогазовій установці у складі метантенка робочим об’ємом 30 л і мокрого газгольдера при періодичному режимі завантаження субстрату і температурі бродіння 35 °С. Порція субстрату: 1,7 кг гною, 2,5 кг води та 50, 100, 250 або 500 г борошна. При цьому склад борошна в субстраті становив 1,2 , 2,3%, 5,6% та 10,6 %. Для визначення оптимального вмісту борошна в субстраті, за умови максимального виходу біогазу, було застосовано метод дихотомії. Результати. Максимальний вихід біометану при вмісті 1,2 % борошна в субстраті становить 14,3 л/кг сухої органічної речовини (СОР), при 2,3 % — 20,9 л/кг СОР, при 5,6 % — 19,2 л/кг СОР. При вмісті 10,6 % борошна в субстраті біогаз не горів, бродіння швидко припинялося. Оптимальний вміст борошна в субстраті на основі коров’ячого гною, при якому вихід біогазу збільшується в 1,5 рази, становить 3,7 %. Висновки. На основі проведених експериментальних досліджень побудовано модель виходу біогазу при поступовому завантаженні субстрату та визначено оптимальний вміст борошна в субстраті, при якому забезпечується максимальний вихід біогазу.

The paper presents the results of a unique project “The Scientific Emigration in Ukraine at the Beginning of the 21st Century” implemented in 1999-2001. This study has remained known for a small group of specialists and not reached the main goal, namely, the development of government policy on intellectual migration. This project is unique due to the complete coverage of problem as the sociological representativeness of research is about 3,000 people engaged in the opinion poll, including senior students of universities, young researchers, chiefs of departments of academic institutions, experts, and representatives of Ukrainian scientific diaspora. The main reasons for scientific emigration, as pointed out by the young generation, are will for improvement of qualifications, gain of experience in the international teams and for securing of family welfare. The main conditions for stopping the intellectual emigration in Ukraine are the creation of innovative research infrastructure, the enhancement of prestige of researcher, the possibility to publish research results in high impact journals, and realization of personal potential in profession and career. The authors have discussed ways to address this problem in the recipient and in the donor countries of scientific migration and offered a strategy for retrieval of young researchers to Ukraine. The results of the present project are assumed to be a starting point for a new sociological study to understand the position of students and young researchers in new political and sociohumanistic reality of Ukraine.

New trend for the domestic science was identified: since 2005, at the background of the overall increase in the average age, the share of researchers aged 30—39 years, had also increased and reached in 2014 22 % (taken together with the younger age group of under 29—37 %).

Similar trends are taking place for the staff of the Russian science, with the difference that the increase in the proportion of younger age groups of researchers is even more intensive.

The article presents short historical review and innovation developments of Coal Chemistry Department of L.M. Litvinenko Institute, NAS of Ukraine connected with coal mine exploitation problems, search for decisions toward prevention of spontaneous combustion, dust control in mines, establishing structural chemical features of coal with different genesis and stages of metamorphism with the aim to develop new methods of their modification and rational use. The methods of obtaining inexpensive sorbents from Ukrainian raw materials (including carbon containing waste) are proposed. The problems of modern coal chemistry science in IPOCC of NAS of Ukraine are outlined.

The modern approaches to the creation of fire protective coatings by modifying intumescent systems by nanomaterials with study of the chemical reaction mechanisms under the high temperatures influence were considered. A systematic study of the interactions of components of polyphosphate type intumescent blend were carried out, a well-defined correlations between the directions of chemical processes and fire retardant properties of intumescent coatings were found. Efficient ways to simultaneous increase of fireprotective efficiency and performance characteristics of intumescent coatings (operatin life, resistance to environmental factors and bioсontamination) were proposed. The results of fundamental research allowed to develop new formulations of flame retardant compositions, whose properties have been confirmed by tests in accordance with existing standardized methods, these results were introduced into production.
