The paper deals with the problem of utilization of red mud which is a waste product from alumina production using the Bayer method. The principal possible use for the red mud of JSC “Bogoslovsky aluminum plant” (Sverdlovsk region) for the compositions based on Portland cement is shown. It was found that the mud introduction accelerates beginning of the cement paste setting and thickens the paste reducing its mobility. It is concluded that the introduction of red mud up to 30 % is justified in terms of strength indicators. The work is carried out using mathematical planning of experiments. Keywords: red mud, Portland cement, active mineral additive, composition, properties, bauxite, chemical composition, cement stone strength, mathematical planning of experiments

In this study, the possibility of using of the following technogenic raw materials to obtain a composite material was considered: titanium-containing slag, with the addition of aluminum bronze grade PG-19M-01 (TU 48-4206-156-82) and aluminum powder grade PA-4 (GOST 6058-73). The percentage of components in the mixture were as follows (wt. %): slag - 40, PG-19M-01 - 30, PA-4 - 30. A thermodynamic simulation of the selected system was preliminarily carried out using TERRA program in the temperature range 273 - 4273 K. The chemical and granulometric composition of the initial powders was investigated. From the powder mixture there were compressed the tablets and then they were sintered in an inert atmosphere. Micro-X-ray analysis of sintered samples showed that they consist of large particles of various shapes, most likely containing titanium and iron aluminides, their compounds between themselves and with copper. Keywords: titanium-containing slag, composite material, thermodynamic modeling, intermetallic compounds, pressing, powder materials

Apatite-nepheline ores of the Khibiny deposits contain the largest phosphorus-bearing resources in the world, and, at the same time, they contain associated valuable components in the rock-forming minerals — apatite, nepheline, sphene and titanium magnetite. Intensive development of the Khibiny deposits with production of only apatite concentrate and a small part of nepheline concentrate resulted in the accumulation of over 1.0 billion tons of wastes in tailing storage facilities and dumps during 90 years of JSC Apatit operation. The possibility of increasing the efficiency of the use of the main concentrates of apatite-nepheline ores of the Khibiny deposits and wastes for their processing is considered through the use of technological developments of the FRC KSC RAS, JSC RIFI and JSC Apatit to obtain traditional and new target products.

In order to increase the extraction of germanium in the technology of production of germanium concentrates, as well as finding ways to eliminate the accumulation of toxic waste using modern techniques and equipment, the physical and chemical properties of waste chemical processing of germanium concentrates (OHGC) of two domestic enterprises were experimentally studied. The main components of OHGC are: sulphate hemihydrate CaSO4·0.5H2O and hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2 calcium. The moisture content of the sludge amounted to 30–50 %. The content of germanium in the cakes of both companies is in the range of 0.20 and 0.27 %, respectively, indicating the feasibility of recovery in the Ge. At the same time, the samples of cakes differ significantly in the content of impurities, which depends on the types of raw materials in the preparation of concentrates. Granulometric composition of cakes is characterized by high dispersion. With an average diameter of 12 μm, all particle sizes are in the range of 0.5-15 μm. The distribution of particle sizes is shifted in interval of 0–15 μm, and the area of the particles less than 3 μm is not more than 10 %. The high dispersion of the cake is reflected in the specific surface area, which is 23.7 m2/g. Thermographic study found that the heating of the sample cake is accompanied by two endothermic effects of dehydration at 110 and 145–168 ∘C calcium sulfate and hypochloride semihydrate with corresponding weight loss of 13.1 and 12.9 %. The presence of toxic impurities (arsenic, zinc and lead), as well as chlorine, presents significant challenges for the development of disposal technology with the extraction of germanium. Assuming that the undiscovered part of the germanium in the concentrate is compounds or solid solutions with silicon dioxide, an effective technology should include their reagent high temperature treatment.

Russia has accumulated about 600 million tons of the red mud that is alumina production waste generated by Bayer method, but currently only a small amount of the total accumulated red mud is recycled. Solid–phase carbothermic reduction of red mud in the presence of sodium salts with magnetic separation can be a promising method for iron extraction. In this paper, the effect of the addition of sodium sulphate on the reduction of iron–containing phases and the growth of iron grains during solid–phase carbothermic reduction of red mud was investigated. The results show that 10% sodium sulphate additive significantly accelerate the growth of reduced iron grains, but decrease the degree of its reduction at temperatures above 1100∘C. The explanation of mechanism of sodium sulphate effect on the iron grain growth was proposed. Optimization of sodium sulphate amount, temperature and holding time can lead the development of effective technology of iron extraction from red mud by solid–phase carbothermic reduction.

An analysis of the composition of the heat-exchange equipment at the petrochemical plants reveals that nominally more than 30% (and by weight about 50% of the total equipment) is heat-exchange equipment, including air-cooled units requiring replacement and reconstruction as a result of the end of their service life or corrosion erosion wear. Therefore, work aimed at improving the effectiveness of ABO is relevant. The existing problem of reducing the efficiency of air cooling in hot calm weather is compounded by the need for short-term humidification using a humidifier mounted directly behind the fan wheel when the air enters the diffuser. This dramatically increases the processes of corrosion and the formation of deposits on the surface of finned tubes (scale, fluff and dust). We have carried out a set of computational and experimental studies to evaluate the thermal efficiency of small-sized ABOs of various designs using a universal experimental industrial bench. The results of studies have established that vertical-cylindrical ABO designs are more energy-efficient and less metal-intensive compared to typical horizontal ones and allow for the influx of cold atmospheric air to the ABO inlet during the hot season. Keywords: air cooler; heat transfer coefficient; thermal efficiency; design of a vertical cylindrical air-cooling apparatus; involute profile layout

A comparative techno-economic estimate of the cost of HOAC producing from technical aluminum hydroxide and hydroxide sludge showed that the cost of HOAC would be decreased by 11% by using a hydroxide precipitate. The cost of operation on the hydroxide precipitate will decrease by 17.3% provided the storage vessel is converted into a reactor to neutralize the acid solution of HOAC. This is possible due to doubling the production of HOAC, moreover production volumes will amount to 7178.2 thousand rubles. The calculated payback period for capital investments for retrofitting is 1 month. Keywords: coagulant, aluminum hydroxychloride, hydroxide precipitate, aluminum- containing waste

The tendency to reduce the content of sulfur compounds in particular H2S and low molecular thiols (RSH) in oil products sets the task of their extraction and disposal in order to obtain practically useful sulfur compounds. Hydrogen sulfide and thiols can be extracted from hydrocarbon fractions using N-methylpyrrolidone-as selective solvent. Hydrogen sulfide can be extracted from the residual oil products using a low energy exposure such as ultrasound and a constant magnetic field. The releasing gas is concentrated in N-methylpyrrolidone. Further, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans can be used in the chemical synthesis of biologically active thioethers containing a catechol fragment. Another way of H2S and RSH utilization is the chemical adsorption of acidic components by modified polynuclear pivalate (acetate) zinc(II) silica gel. As a result of the interaction of complexes with H2S and RSH, it is possible to obtain zinc sulfide or zinc thiolates, which can be used in various fields of industry or agriculture. Hydrogen sulfide and thiols can also be applied in the electrochemical or microvaved assisted organic synthesis. This approach is promising from the standpoint of environmental safety of synthesis and low energy costs of the reactions. The SH-functionalization of hydrocarbons (indan, indene, decalin, tetralin, naphthalene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene) leads to obtain biologically active compounds. Keywords: hydrogen sulfide, thiols, extraction, N-methylpyrrolidone, ultrasonic and magnetic treatment, microwave, redox activation
