The article is devoted to the study of the process of obtaining biogas by anaerobic fermentation of biomass of various origins. The main advantage of the suggested theory is the possibility of utilizing organic waste with a complex morphology and of changeable composition. The developed method of bioconversion of organic waste presented a high ecological and economical efficiency. The article presents some data concerning the anaerobic fermentation substrate characteristics, and the description and working principle of the experimental unit.

The combination of several physical and chemical processes for cleaning flue gas in a single hightemperature filter is a promising technology. The effect of catalytic phoresis on solid-particle collection efficiency is evaluated. A three-level mathematical model describing sedimentation of the catalytic coating on autofilter layers and the filter base layer is presented. Calculation of the filtering of highly dispersed particles with a working catalyst using the proposed model allows the best modes of filtering devices and their design and operating parameters to be chosen.

A possible thermal process for disposal of wastes from the brewing and sugar industries was studied. Information on the yields of secondary pyrolysis products (pyrogas, pyroliquid, solid residue) as a function of changes in the processing parameters was obtained. Pyrogas consisting of H2, CO, CO2, CH4, and saturated and unsaturated C2–C5 fractions had a heat of combustion of 1.79 and 1.65 MJ/m3 for spent grain and sugar-beet pulp, respectively. A universal unit allowing any type of waste with various quantities of added hydrocarbon waste to be processed was developed.

A thermodynamic calculation of the equilibrium composition of the gas phase Ga-As-Sn-Cl-H system was carried out. An estimate of the impurity composition of adsorbate layers was made. A study of the electrophysical and photoluminescent properties of tin-doped GaAs epitaxial layers was conducted. From a comparison of the calculated and experimental data, it follows that the dependence of trapping mechanisms for tin on the conditions of epitaxial growth corresponds to changes in the gas phase and adsorbate layer compositions. A mechanism is proposed in which the introduction of impurities into the layers in elemental and complex forms occurs due to capture of atomic and diatomic tin adsorbed on the surface.
