Experimental studies of the effect of the intensity of mixing of mineral coagulants with water on the efficiency of water treatment in different periods of the year have been carried out. The studies were conducted in June-August - low-turbidity water with relatively low color and high temperature; November-December - low-turbidity and low-color water with low temperature; flood in April-May - increased turbidity and color of water with low temperature and alkalinity. The results obtained allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of concentrated coagulation, high-gradient mixing in water purification with mineral coagulants. The possibility of separate and joint use of mineral coagulants in different periods of the year was assessed.

The article describes four developed designs of samples of joints of solid wood elements on aluminum linings. They made it possible to simulate the operation of real connections of the main and secondary beams, as well as crossbars and columns. Tests of connection samples were carried out, one of the four developed variants of sample designs was selected that most fully reflects the actual work of real joints of wooden elements. The strength and deformation characteristics of the joint, the upper boundary of the elastic work area (VGOUR) of the joint are determined. Based on the conducted research, the peculiarities of the work of the studied compounds were determined, a sample of the connection of a wooden element with a metal overlay was developed, which allowed the development of measures aimed at increasing the bearing capacity and reducing the deformability of the studied compounds without significant material costs associated with the purchase of expensive SHERPA linings.

Many sources of environmental pollution affect human health. The concentration of harmful substances constantly changes during the day when the weather conditions change in different parts of the territory. Residents can repeatedly enter and leave areas of increased pollution without noticing it with their senses when moving around the city. The authors analyzed the existing solutions for monitoring the quality of atmospheric air, as well as key sources of pollution and their distribution in the air. The interrelation of distribution of pollutants with weather conditions is noted. Preparation of data on the presence of harmful substances on the example of the city of Volgograd has been carried out. A method for organizing monitoring of harmful substances in the atmosphere using a software and hardware complex is proposed. The developed method was applied to create a specialized web application. The implemented solution allows to monitor the state of the environment using sensors and build routes around areas with a high concentration of harmful substances.

The testing of technique for modeling the local atomic structure and X-ray absorption spectra for zinc ions in an aqueous solution in the presence of arachidic acid has been adjusted. Models of the local structure of zinc with different coordination geometries are considered: planar, pyramidal, tetrahedral, and octahedral. The cases of increasing distances between the zinc ion and water molecules in the plane and in the axial direction are simulated for octahedral coordination. It has been established that the most probable change in the local structure of the zinc environment in solution in the presence of arachidic acid is the removal of water molecules from zinc ions in the axial position and their further replacement with the formation of a bond with the carboxyl group of arachidic acid.
