P. 21–25. Fig. 2. Refs.: 14 titles.
This paper highlights the method of purification from cuprum ions by using high-gradient magnetic fields. We devise the production method of high-gradient ferromagnetic matrices with dendrite structure and study its efficiency. We also show the difference between the efficiency of solutions purification by utilizing dendrite and dendriteless matrices. Crucially, we prove the higher efficiency of the dendrite matrix performance as compared to the dendriteless one. Finally, we demonstrate that the use of magnetically operated biosorbents and high-gradient magnetic separators allows effectively purifying working media from cuprum ions up to 98 %.

Adaptation to Cultivation Conditions in Vitro and Increase of Infectious Titres of Human Rotaviruses, Isolated on the Territory of Ukraine
P. 33–37. Fig. 6. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 10 titles.
In this paper, we isolate and adapt five strains of rotaviruses for cultivation conditions from children with acute intestinal infections in HEP-2 human cell culture. We characterize the isolated strains according to genotype and ability to increase the infectious titres during five consecutive passages. Crucially, we isolate the rotavirus strain, which has a special ability to adapt to cultivation conditions in human cell culture. This strain is promising for creating effective rotavirus vaccine for Ukrainians, as well as for developing diagnostic test-systems. Finally, we show the inability of the isolated strains to be cultivated in animal cell culture.

P. 50–55. Fig. 4. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 17 titles.
We calculate the heat capacity of diamond based on the inelastic neutron scattering data and elastic characteristics of the crystal at the temperature range of the diamond phase existence. We analyze the diamond phonon spectrum and reasons for heat capacity anomaly at low temperatures (under 100 K). We show that due to thermal expansion at temperatures under 300 K, the input into heat capacity has values not exceeding the measurement error in current adiabatic methods.

Selective Leaching of Carbonates from Ukrainian Phosphorites by Lactic Acid
P. 56–59. Fig. 1. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 8 titles.
We select the organic acid for pre-decarbonization of the Ukrainian low-grade phosphate raw material. Through experiments conducted, we determine that lactic acid is the most effective in this process. We also demonstrate the infrared spectra of the origi-nal phosphate (Ratnovskiy field), as well as of the phosphate treated with chlorine and lactic acid. They indicate that the intensity of stretch vibration, belonging to the carbonate ion of calcite, decreases after treatment with lactic acid phosphate.

Electrodeposition of Nickel and Composite Nikel Diamond Coatings by Reversible Current
P. 60–66. Fig. 7. Tabl. 3. Refs.: 7 titles.
This study deals with the deposition of nickel diamond composite coatings on steel for producing abrasive and cutting tools. Based on the various sources, including previous research data, we choose the method of electrodeposition of coatings by a reversal current. We deduce the equations for calculating the current density in cathodic and anodic pulses. On the experimental side, we study the influence of these parameters on peak potentials and polarization characteristics of the process, as well as physical and mechanical properties of nickel binder and nickel diamond coatings. Finally, we show that the monopolar pulse current shouldn’t be used since it causes a marked increase in internal stresses of nickel as compared to the direct current.

Relying on the data analysis, we characterize the impact of surface chemistry and porosity on the electron-donating ability of nitrogen and oxygen containing active carbons. We take the perspective that this carbon can be applied as a fuel cell electrocatalyst.

Optimization of Electrodes Polarization Component for Supercapacitors
P. 73–77. Fig. 3. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 7 titles.
The paper considers the dependence of supercapacitor inner resistance on thickness of electrodes polarization component in order to optimize the microporous structure of the activated carbon material, utilized for electrode production, with the structure of transport channels inside electrodes. Employing the tier model, we describe electrochemical processes, occurring in porous electrodes. We show that the nonlinear character of dependence of inner resistance on electrode thickness is connected with the resistance identified by the microporous structure of activated carbon material at electrodes thickness under 10 μm and the structure of transport channels inside electrodes at the thickness, which is more than 100 μm. We propose the methods of determining the optimal electrode thickness, whereby microporous material structure can be matched with transport channels.

Sorption-Reducing Treatment of Groundwater from Uranium Compounds
P. 83–87. Fig. 4. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 15 titles.
The paper considers the processes of sorption-reducing treatment of water polluted with uranium compounds by various active agents. Our research subject is groundwater selected from the hole near the tailing dump of waste of uranium ore processing from the East ore-dressing and processing enterprise situated near Zhovti Vody. To that end, we utilize the activated sludge of Bortnytska aeration station and Fe0 iron powder as active agents. Specifically, we show that the use of microbiological reducer – activated sludge – decreases ten-fold the concentration of uranium in treated water, but does not satisfy the current international normative requirements for the content of toxicants in groundwater.

Study of the Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on the Processes of Ionic Association in Liquid Polymer Electrolyte Polyethyleneglycol – LiClO4
P. 88–93. Fig. 3. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 22 titles.
By using Fuoss–Kraus theory and the conductivity data, we study the ion association in polymer electrolyte based on polyethyleneglycol, lithium perchlorate and carbon nanotubes. We also determine that the filler addition decreases the aggregation in the polymer electrolyte, which leads to the increase in the number of free ions, as well as to the conductivity growth.

This study proves that the mode of transient performance in amperometric sensor can clearly indicate the excessive polarization of auxiliary electrode as a root cause of unstable signal or long transition period. These findings allow determining a dramatic decrease in the contact area of consumables auxiliary electrode (potential determining material) with its conductive skeleton that causes the sharp rise in polarization.

The Solvent Sublation of Iron Ions from Low Concentration Solutions
P. 106–111. Fig. 5. Refs.: 20 titles.
This study investigates the regularities of solvent sublation of iron ions from the low concentration water solution (CFe3+ = 10 mg/L). We determine optimal conditions of this process (the pH, the molar ratio of Fe3+: SAC, where SAC is the surface-active compound, the process duration, the temperature, the speed of gas flow). Relying on the ion association theory, we propose the mechanism of solvent sublation.

The Effect of Caesium Compounds on the Properties of the Low-Temperature Catalyst of Carbon Monoxide Converstion. Caesium Nitrate Promotion
P. 112–118. Fig. 3. Tabl. 2. Refs.: 10 titles.
This paper describes the effect of promoting Cs admixtures on the catalyst activity, selectivity, stability, crystal structure and morphology of Cu-Zn-Al- catalyst of low-temperature CO conversion. We also test two methods to introduce the promoter: into calcinated, as well as into the carbonate catalyst mass. We determine that the introduction of Cs in the amount of 1% and 3 % allows reducing the catalyst activity in a side reaction of methanol formation by 3 and 6 times. Caesium nitrate admixtures also reduce the catalyst activity in the target process of CO conversion in proportion to the promoter amount. Cs gives a negative sintering action on the crystal structure and thermal stability of the catalyst. Hence, promoting effect of Cs is connected with its influence on the catalyst phase composition.

The Study of Monocharged Ions Solvation in Nonaqueous Solvents by Stokes’ Law
P. 128–132. Fig. 3. Tabl. 1. Refs.: 8 titles.
Based on the boundary ionic mobility, we calculate Stokes’ and crystallographic radii of ions. We show that the difference between Stokes’ and crystallographic radii of ions depends on their ionic crystallographic size prior to its value, which is about 4,0∙10–10 m. Relying on these data, we conclude that bigger ions are not solvated in the given solvents. Finally, we determine that the anions have bigger salvation spheres than cations of the same crystallographic size. On the contrary, the solvation effect is more important for cations in aprotonic solvents.

Solid-State Synthesis of Stable Substances Li–Mn–O System
P. 138–142. Fig. 5. Refs.: 18 titles.
By employing thermal, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis, we study chemical reactions, which occur at heating manganese oxide (MnO2) with lithium carbonate ( Li2CO3) on air. We reveal that only three thermodynamically stable substances – manganese (III) oxide (Mn 2O3), lithium manganate (Li2MnO3) and mixed oxide LiMn 2O4 with spinel structure – can be formed at 700–900 °C temperature ranges. Many other known substances of Li–Mn–O system are unstable under these conditions and cannot be obtained by solid-state methods.
