An Economic Formulation to Elaborate Resistant Technical Porcelains Using Abundant Raw Materials: Thermal and Rheological Properties Characterization

Introduction. The objective of the research is to study the effect of the complex activation of the alumina raw material on the rheological properties of the ceramic mass. In addition, the authors investigate solutions for the application of optimal coagulation structures based on loams and ash together with plastic certificates.Materials and methods. The authors used the local forest like reserves of clay loams at the BashKarasu, ash fields of the Bishkek Central Heating Centre (BTEC) and plasticizer (sodium naphthenate obtained from alkaline chemical production wastes) as fibrous materials. Moreover, the authors defined technological properties of raw materials within standard laboratory methodology in accordance with current GOSTs.Results. The researchers tested plastic durability on variously prepared masses for the choice of optimal structures. The paper demonstrated the plastic durability of complexly activated compounds comparing with non-activated and mechanically activated compounds. The sensitivity coefficient increased the amount of clay loams by mechanically and complexly activated, which predetermined the possibility of intensifying the process of drying samples based on complexly activated masses.Discussion and conclusions. However, mechanical activation of clay material reduces the period of relaxation and increases the elasticity coefficient of ceramic masses by 1.8–3.4 times, meanwhile decreases elasticity, viscosity and the conventional power during molding, which generally worsens the molding properties of the masses. Сomplex activation of ash-clay material decreases the period of relaxation and provides an increase in elasticity, plasticity of ceramic masses by 46–47%, reduction in viscosity by 1.5–2 times, conventional power on molding by 37–122% in comparison with MA clay loams. Ceramic masses based on spacecraft alumina raw materials belong to the SMT with improved rheological properties; products based on them pass through the mouthpiece for 5–7 seconds.

During the production of beer, and especially beer wort, the main wastes are spent grain and hot trub, i.e., the so-called “hot break.” Combined with yeast after fermentation, they represent the most valuable wastes. Hot trub is also one of the most valuable by-products. Studies on the chemical composition of these sediments and their rheological properties as waste products will contribute to their effective disposal and even further use as valuable pharmaceutical and cosmetic raw materials. So far, hot trub has been studied for morphology and particle distribution depending on the raw material composition and beer wort extract. However, there are no preliminary studies on the rheological properties of hot trub and hops. In particular, no attention has yet been paid to the dependence of these properties on the hop variety or different protein sources used. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different hopping methods on hot trub viscosity and beer wort physicochemical parameters. Additionally, the hop solutions were measured at different temperatures. A microbiological analysis of hop sediments was also performed to determine the post-process survival of selected microorganisms in these wastes. For manufacturers of pumps used in the brewing industry, the most convenient material is that of the lowest viscosity. Low viscosity hot trub can be removed at lower velocities, which reduces costs and simplifies washing and transport. The sediments also had similar equilibrium viscosity values at high shear rates.

The article presents the results of a study on the development of a recipe for semi‑finished custard based on gluten‑free raw materials. The ratio of components in the gluten‑free mixture was optimized using the regression analysis method. The influence of gluten‑free raw materials on the rheological properties of the semi‑ finished product is studied. The variants of the experiment differed in the composition of the composite mixture (the ratio of corn, rice flour and corn starch). The chemical composition and the ratio of the components of the mixture determine the rheological properties of the semi‑finished product. The experimental version with the ratio of rice flour, corn flour and corn starch 50:40:10 most corresponds to the rheological properties of the control version and is characterized by high consumer properties.

Abstract Based on the analysis of the operation of vacuum electric furnaces for the processing of dispersed materials by sublimation of volatile components from them, developed by now, and the problems associated with technological processes, a technical solution has been proposed, in which the concentrate is moved due to rheological properties with direct heating by radiation from heater of the surface of the moving and mixing raw materials. Preliminary tests on the sublimation of arsenic sulfide compounds from the gravitational concentrate of the Nezhdaninskoye field with a particle size of 1.0 + 0.63 mm at a temperature of 700°C showed the extraction of arsenic into the vapor phase by more than 99%.

The article discusses the ways to solve the problems of low levels of active biological substances in the bakery product, with medicinal properties. In the process of the preparation of buns, the optimal dosages of the additives were calculated in order to determine an acceptable ratio of vegetable raw materials components and expand the range of bakery products with therapeutic and prophylactic effects. The article proposes new recipe for making buns with the addition of herbal additives such as stevia and licorice root. In addition, the study was conducted on the influence of licorice root and stevia additives on the rheological properties of the dough and the quality of the finished product. As a result, high-quality buns with the necessary consumer properties were obtained.

The paper considers the relationship of the rheological properties of three-phase dispersed systems with capillary coupling and, on this basis, substantiates the possibility of directional regulation of the rheological properties of raw materials for the production of building materials. It is shown that the rheological properties of two-phase dispersed systems are determined mainly by the action of intermolecular forces in the liquid-filled contact zones of solid phase particles, and in three-phase systems – by the action of capillary coupling forces.

Structural and mechanical features of collagen-containing raw materials and biomaterials that can be used as coatings based on biopolymers are presented. Studies reveal the presence of materials with targeted texture, rheological properties; chemical composition and biocompatibility. In particular, for mycelial fungi.

Ceramics, concretes and asphalt-mixtures are the most popular building materials in Hungary, because of the highway programme of the government. In spite of their large popularity, some of the mechanical properties of ceramics, concretes and asphalts are not investigated enough till today. Particularly, there is no mechanical model usable to understand and explain the rheological behaviours of these materials with different compositions of mineral raw materials. It is well known, that the viscosity of viscous materials, viscoelastic materials, and viscoplastic materials dynamically decreases, as the temperature increases. The decrease of viscosity by leaps and bounds could be extremely dangerous in case of asphalt pavements in the range of 55 – 75 °C, due to the crossing of cars on the low viscosity pavements which suffer inelastic deformation, as a result. Using a Rheo-tribometer instrument developed by L. A. Gömze and others, the authors have investigated and tested asphalt mixtures with different composition of mineral raw materials, and would like to reveal and review the dependence of the rheological properties of these pavements against the temperature, and the intensity of the dependence.
