The article proposes a mathematical model for the separation of wheat flour products into fractions in a radial flow, a pneumatic screw channel, and considers the problem of producing flour of the highest quality and nutritional value by dividing wheat flour into protein fractions. Differential equations for the separation of the flow of inhomogeneous flour particles under the action of centrifugal forces are given.
When solving mathematical equations, geometric, physical and boundary conditions and parameters of the flow of energy carrier (air) and small particles were set. In addition, when analyzing the forces acting on heterogeneous fine flour particles, the shape of the particles in the form of a ball was considered and, due to the absence of interactions between flour particles, they are in a carrier stream, the turbulent movement of the particles does not affect their average speed of movement.
Based on analytical expressions characterizing the flow of a homogeneous medium, depending on the geometric and technological parameters of the radial flow of the pneumatic screw channel, a mathematical model has been developed that allows calculating the speed and trajectory of flour particles when dividing them into fractions using a pneumatic separator, taking into account the influence of the direction of the vector of motion of a homogeneous medium with hydrodynamic parameters of wheat flour particles.
The mathematical model of the separation of wheat flour into fractions in a pneumatic screw channel considered in the article serves as the basis for preliminary calculations of the division of wheat flour into fractions according to aerodynamic parameters and the development of resource-saving technologies.

Contemporary prune production is largely driven by industry and market demands. Uniform dimensions and color, balanced taste and attractive flavor are appreciated by consumers. In addition, dried plum is considered a rich source of the essential phytochemicals, mainly polyphenolic compounds. Drying is an effective method of fruit preservation. Drying can maintain the quality of the finished product, but the decisive factor in this process is the method chosen, the equipment and the parameters of the thermal agent. In this work, drying in an infrared cabinet was used as an effective and progressive method that reduces the drying time while preserving the bioactive substances of the initial raw material. To produce a prune authors used the plum species (Prunus domestica L. – domestic plum) of the genus Prunus, the variety «Vengerka domashnya», cultivated in the south of Kazakhstan and as the most suitable variety for obtaining prunes. The results of the study showed that despite the shorter drying time at higher temperature (80°C), drying carried out at 60°C for 10 hours was more effective in terms of polyphenol preservation. Although drying fresh plums causes significant chemical changes, prunes dried in an infrared dryer at temperature 60°C can be considered a functional food due to the high levels of antioxidants: polyphenolic substances in amount 169.51±0.58 mg GAE/100 g DW and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in amount 64.27±0.65 mg equivalents of α-tocopherol/ g extract.
This article reflects the results of the conducted research on the cheese suitability of milk from cows of different breeds of the Pavlodar region and the development and improvement of production technology for a new type of enriched soft cheese for functional purposes. At the first stage of the research, a review of special and scientific, technical and patent literature was conducted on the trend in the development of technology for the production of natural rennet soft cheese using raw materials of vegetable origin. Further, in the course of the research work, experimental studies were conducted on the suitability of milk from 3 breeds of cows of the Pavlodar region «Simmental», «Red Steppe» and «Kazakh white-headed» for rennet coagulation. According to the results of the conducted research, cow's milk of the Simmental breed was selected as the main raw material for the production of enriched soft cheese. Then several variants of a mixture of good-quality milk of cows «Simmental» and less good-quality milk of cows of the breed «Krasnaya Stepnaya» were compiled in various ratios (90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50) and accordingly, the process of rennet coagulation of selected variants of raw milk using selected starter cultures and rennet was investigated enzymes. According to the results obtained, it was also found that the enzyme «Natural Rennet» and the starter culture «Lactoferm ECO» also have a very high coagulation activity of various milk mixtures. The dynamics of changes in titrated acidity during coagulation of a mixture (60-40 and 50-50) of raw milk from cows of the Simmental breed and less raw milk from cows of the Krasnaya Stepnaya breed reached the maximum index for titrated acidity Further, studies were conducted on the selection and justification of additives of plant origin – as functional components in the formulation of a new type of enriched soft cheese for functional nutrition. According to the results of the research, a milk – vegetable composition (milk – protein clot and vegetable paste) was developed as a functional additive for the production of enriched soft cheese and its concentration in the component composition of enriched soft cheese was determined. As a result, samples of soft cheese with chickpea paste in the amount of 2-4% were selected. It was found that with an increase in the dose of vegetable filler of 6-10% leads to a deterioration in organoleptic parameters, i.e. an overly pronounced taste of the bean component.

Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) is an important resource for the production of biofuels and other highvalue products. The main components of LCB are cellulose and lignin, which are difficult to decompose. Recent research has focused on the use of cellulolytic microorganisms, such as Bacillus subtilis bacteria, Trichoderma reesei fungi and Penicillium oxalicum, to effectively break down these components. The article provides an overview of modern achievements, including the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES), which showed an improvement in the availability of cellulose and an increase in sugar yield up to 80%. The use of agro-industrial waste, such as rice straw, as a substrate for the production of enzymes, helps to reduce the cost of production and supports circular bioeconomics.
Strategies to increase the efficiency of enzymatic processing are described, including the development of multi-enzyme complexes and genetically modified strains of microorganisms. For example, the use of multifunctional enzymes from Clostridium cellulosi allowed to increase the yield of sugars by 30%. The possibilities of integrating mushroom co-cultures and hydrothermal processing methods that provide a synergistic effect in the processing of LCB are considered.
Special attention is paid to key enzymes such as cellulases, hemicellulases and ligninases and their role in the breakdown of plant polymers. Prospects for further research are discussed, including the development of thermostable enzymes, the introduction of environmentally friendly processing methods and the integration of new technologies into industrial biorefineries.

In the article the expert analytical review of literature sources on the basis of set tasks on realization of the purpose of increasing the efficiency of safflower oil purification using secondary raw materials of grain and oilseed crops processing is carried out, the object of research and the purpose of technology of effective purification of safflower oil are defined. Methods of using secondary raw materials as filtering materials were analyzed, linen fiber is proposed as an optimal filtering material. Multifactorial experimental studies were carried out for the application of filtering material consisting of recycled processing raw materials in industrial equipment. We saw that when purification with filter media composed of recycled recycled processing raw materials, the safflower oil yield increased due to pump pressure. Under the influence of the pump pressure of 180-10-3 Pa, we can relate that the oil yield decreased and the capacity of the filter media decreased, and we can see that the safflower oil yield also increased due to the increase in filtration rate. As a result of filtering safflower oil through linseed fiber in a frame filter with a filtration rate of 0.1 L/s, the safflower oil yield increased to 93%. As a result of the study of fatty acid, inorganic composition and the amount of vitamens of safflower oil, we see a decrease in the content of saturated fatty acids and an increase in the content of mono- and polyunsaturated acids (oleic, behenic, cis-10-heptadecenoic and cis-linoleic acids), and we also observe that the inorganic composition meets all the norms, and the content of vitamin E increases.
In the research work, frame filter press of FPR brand is used for purification of vegetable oil. As a result, the parametric dependencies of effective purification of safflower oil using filtering materials consisting of secondary raw materials of processing in a frame row filter press are substantiated and a rational solution for application in production is found.
For the EAEU countries and, in particular, for the Republic of Kazakhstan, the use of wastefree processing of raw materials is extremely relevant. Such industries include medium and small meat processing plants. In the waste-free technology of meat products, the production of dry feed has a high nutritional value compared to other feed products. In the production of dry feed at large enterprises, continuously operating high-performance equipment is widely used to separate liquid heterogeneous systems.
However, for small and medium-sized enterprises, the development course of which is carried out in the republic, the same continuously operating equipment of low productivity is necessary. In this regard, the development of such equipment is a very urgent task. At the same time, numerous previous studies were mainly aimed at studying the technological and dynamic side of the centrifugation process of high-performance machines used in related industries, in particular, chemical, whereas such studies were not carried out for small and medium-sized machines. This is especially true for the meat industry, where the processes of cetrifugation of liquid systems are insufficiently studied. This is due to the fact that meat products are a complex colloidal-dispersed system consisting of tightly adjacent moisture and dry residue, which has a high adsorption capacity. The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of centrifugation have not been fully studied. Insufficient attention was paid to the technological features of production along with the design features of the equipment. In this regard, the production of dry feed is in demand, since the latter have a high nutritional value superior to other feed products. In the production of dry animal feed, the centrifugation process is used to separate fat from flakes. The use of the centrifugation process in the separation of fat from the flakes ensures high quality of the resulting fat. Moreover, this quality is much higher than that of fat obtained in the processes of pressing and extraction of raw materials.
As a result, significant energy savings in small and medium-sized production with scaling to the entire meat processing industry contribute to improving the overall environmental situation. In this regard, the importance of further development of «green» energy is increasing.

This paper presents the results of a study of the temperature fields of combustion products of nondesign coal from the Karazhyra open pit in the combustion space of a boiler unit. The purpose of the work is to establish operating conditions for the combustion chamber of the KV-T-116.3-150 boiler unit, ensuring the absence of slagging of radiation heating surfaces, reliable circulation in the boiler and minimal heat loss when burning off-design fuel.
Experimental studies were carried out to determine the temperature of combustion products of nondesign fuel, which made it possible to construct gas isotherms and evaluate the operation of the boiler combustion chamber. Laboratory tests were also carried out on samples of non-design fuel, and its qualitative composition was determined. Heat losses during combustion of non-design fuel have been determined. Data on the efficiency of the boiler installation with variable heating output were obtained, and the optimal operating mode of the boiler unit was established.
The subject of this work is of particular interest due to the need to control and reduce the intensity of slagging and contamination of heating surfaces, reduce the level of harmful emissions, and intensify heat exchange processes in the flues of boiler plants when burning modern fuels.
To examine the heat exchange processes in the boiler, the method of pyrometric study of the combustion space was used at different heat outputs.
The article presents a study of a refrigeration unit operating in two modes – heating and cooling. The study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the system for each mode.
In the process of efficiency analysis, heat flows passing through key components of the installation, such as a condenser and an evaporator, were taken into account.
The analytical dependences of the heat load on the evaporator and the compressor power, the refrigeration coefficient and the transformation coefficient relative to the temperature of the coolant at the inlet to the heat exchanger are given, comparative cycles of a heat pump with an intermediate heat exchanger for steady-state cooling and heating modes were constructed, and their nodal points were analyzed.
The results showed differences in characteristics depending on the operating mode of the system, which made it possible to identify optimal conditions for increasing the overall efficiency of the installation.
The balance points for the heating and cooling mode were identified, where the thermal load on the evaporator is equalized with the compressor power.
Analytical dependences of the installation characteristics for both the cooling and heating modes were obtained.
The accuracy of the approximation of all the obtained lines was more than 0,95.
As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the refrigeration system works more efficiently in heating mode, and the optimal temperature of the coolant for cooling and heating modes was 5,5°С и 9°С respectively.
This work examines the influence of parameters of electrofrictional processing (current, processing speed) on the mechanical-tribological properties of construction steels 65G and 40Kh. Electrofrictional processing is based on the simultaneous melting of the surfaces of a cast iron electrode and a soil-processing tool blade, achieved by introducing energy through low-voltage electric arcs and cooling with water. The results of the study showed that during electrofrictional processing, the speed of sample movement relative to the rotating electrode affects the thickness of the processed layer.
High-speed processing forms a relatively shallow hardening depth and large dimensions of the transition zone (about 1 mm) with a smooth decrease in microhardness. Low-speed processing can result in the formation of microcracks in the deposited layer. Electrofrictional processing of 65G steel with a current of 300 A increases the microhardness of the surface layer three times, while for 40Kh steel, it increases four times, compared to the initial values of 297 HV0.1 and 238 HV0.1, respectively. The wear intensity of 40Kh and 65G steels, hardened by electrofrictional processing with current values of 100 A, 200 A, and 300 A, is 2-3 times lower than that of non-hardened steels, indicating the significant effectiveness of this hardening method in abrasive wear.
One of the most promising methods to improve the operational properties and increase the service life of products is the application of functional coatings using various sputtering technologies. Considering the high resistance to wear and corrosion of Cr3C2-NiCr metal-ceramic composition, such coatings have started to be actively used to protect steel elements in hot parts of boilers designed for waste incineration, as well as in electric furnaces and equipment operating on natural gas.This study examines the effect of pulse-plasma treatment distance on the structural characteristics of the surface layer of Cr3C2-NiCr detonation coatings. We study a process involving the deposition of such coatings using a detonation device and then their treatment by pulse plasma. The results show that after such treatment, melting and levelling of the structural components of the coatings occurs without leading to their destruction by the plasma pulses. The microstructure of the coatings is a molten Cr3C2-NiCr based metal-ceramic material. After pulse plasma treatment, Cr2O3 chromium oxide phases are found on the surface, the intensity of Cr3C2 peaks increases and new Cr3C2 reflections appear, indicating an increase in the Cr3C2 phase content. It is also observed that the microstructure becomes more homogeneous after this treatment, which leads to the densification of the Cr3C2-NiCr-based detonation coating.
The process of osseointegration largely depends on the surface roughness, structure, chemical composition and mechanical characteristics of the coating. In this regard, an important direction in the development of medical materials is the development of new technologies for surface modification and the creation of bioactive ceramic coatings. Calcium phosphate materials based on hydroxyapatite are offered as bioactive ceramic coatings on titanium implants to effectively accelerate bone healing. The article discusses the results of a study of the formation of a hydroxyapatite coating on a titanium substrate during detonation spraying. The powders for spraying and the resulting coatings from hydroxyapatite were studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. It was determined that the appearance of α-Ca3(PO4)2 phases is typical for a coating of pure hydroxyapatite obtained by detonation spraying, but the hydroxyapatite phase remains in the coating composition. The results obtained using Raman spectroscopy indicate that hydroxyapatite is the main phase in coatings. The morphology of the sprayed coatings was characterized using SEM, and the elemental composition of the coatings was analyzed using EDS. The EDS analysis showed that the elemental composition of the obtained coatings is similar to the elemental composition of the initial powder, which is very important for the characteristics of biocompatibility and preservation of the service life of coatings.

Plants are a raw material source for obtaining various biologically active complexes, and their isolation can be used to obtain new drugs with diverse biological activities. As sources of biologically active substances, plants of the genus Alhagi, the species Alhagi Kirgisorum Schrenk (zhantak – Kyrgyz camel thorn), are of great interest. Alhagi Kirgisorum Schrenk, which was collected during the flowering period in the Shelek district, Almaty region, in 2023, is an aboveground part of the plant species. Analysis of biologically active substances in plant raw materials, consideration of effective technological parameters for extracting biologically active complexes from plants using ultrasonic extraction, and study of the pharmacological activity of the obtained medicinal preparations are important issues.

NiS and NiS2 co-catalysts were decorated on the surface of g-C3N4 through ion exchange reaction by precipitation method. Synthesized double systems were investigated using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and TEM elemental mapping. XRD and FT-IR analyses showed the presence of g-C3N4 in the composition of g-C3N4/NiS and g-C3N4/NiS2, however the presence of nickel sulfides was not identified. SEM analysis showed that double systems have heterogeneous systems, the stacked flat sheets with wrinkles and an irregular shape morphology and rough surface, where the presence of irregular shape pores is visible. TEM proved the presence of irregularly shaped layers of g-C3N4, and TEM elemental mapping showed the presence of nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and nickel. The ability of the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by prepared samples revealed, that g-C3N4/NiS2 manifests the highest hydrogen evolution rate in comparison with g-C3N4/NiS and g-C3N4. Thus, the highest evolution rate of hydrogen was reached by g-C3N4/NiS2 on the 3rd hour of the visible light irradiation and was equal to 56.79 μmolh-1g-1.
This study explores the tribological properties of Ni-Cr-Al coatings applied through detonation spraying technology, with a focus on the comparison between gradient coatings and homogeneous coatings. Ni-Cr-Al coatings, widely used in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries like power plants, are valued for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability. Gradient coatings, produced by tailoring the detonation spraying parameters, exhibit a microstructure combining a hard, wear-resistant surface with a softer, ductile subsurface, enhancing their load-bearing capacity and tribological performance. Experimental results reveal that gradient coatings achieve lower and more stable friction coefficients (0.3-0.4) compared to homogeneous coatings (0,4-0,5), attributed to their optimized stress distribution and reduced adhesive interactions. These findings underscore the superior wear resistance and durability of gradient Ni-Cr-Al coatings, making them highly suitable for applications involving prolonged operation under sliding conditions. This research contributes to the development of advanced coating systems optimized for demanding operational environments.

This article discusses the possibility of using natural zeolite from the Changkanai deposit as a filler for rubber compounds. Numerous studies devoted to the study of the effects of mineral fillers on the characteristics of rubber indicate the prospects and possibilities for the development of this field.
When filling rubbers with mineral components under standard conditions, a number of positive effects are observed. In particular, this leads to a reduction in the cost of the material, improvement of its elasticstrength characteristics and optimization of the technological properties of the composition. These changes are important for the industry, where cost and material quality control plays a key role.
The urgent task of this work is to replace expensive fillers with more affordable alternatives, in order to preserve all the required characteristics of rubber compounds. Therefore, the new ingredients must provide the same or improved properties so that the finished product meets the standards and operational requirements. Maintaining strength, elasticity, wear resistance and other key indicators becomes a top priority in the search and implementation of substitutes, which reduces costs without loss of product quality.
Within the framework of the study, the objects of study are zeolites of the Changkanai deposit and rubbers used for the production of dielectric mats, which must have high electrical insulating properties and mechanical strength.
To analyze the physico-chemical properties of zeolites, studies using IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis were carried out. These methods provide detailed information about the structure and composition of zeolite powders, which is critically important for assessing their potential as fillers for rubber.
As a result of experimental studies, it was found that the rubber mixture obtained with partial replacement of white soot with zeolite from the Changkanai deposit demonstrates satisfactory physical and mechanical properties. This opens up new prospects for the use of natural zeolites in the rubber industry, contributing to both cost reduction and improvement of the quality of the final product.
Thus, the results of the work emphasize the importance of further research in this area aimed at optimizing the compositions of rubber compounds using affordable and environmentally friendly materials such as natural zeolites.
This study investigates the durability and corrosion resistance of Ni-Cr-Al detonation-sprayed coatings when exposed to high-temperature environments containing molten Na₂SO₄ and NaCl. Such conditions are highly corrosive and frequently encountered in aerospace, energy, and chemical industries. Gradient and homogeneous Ni-Cr-Al coatings were compared to understand their behavior under aggressive exposure. The reveal of results those gradient coatings exhibit superior corrosion resistance due to their ability to retain protective oxides, such as Cr₂O₃, and mitigate stress-induced damage through compositional grading. In contrast, homogeneous coatings displayed significant degradation, including widespread corrosion, delamination, and the formation of sodium-based phases like NaNiO₂. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of oxidation and sulfidation products, with gradient coatings showing enhanced stability against phase transitions. These findings highlight the potential of gradient Ni-Cr-Al coatings to improve component performance in extreme conditions and provide valuable insights for optimizing coating compositions and processes to enhance operational reliability in harsh environments.
