The aim of the project is to develop a technology for obtaining new types of organic fertilizers based on the utilization of phosphorus-containing and carbon-containing waste to increase the yield of vegetable crops in the Turkestan region.

Scientific novelty: For the first time, biological fertilizers will be created based on phosphorus-containing and carbon-containing wastes with the addition of various groups of microorganisms to increase the yield of vegetable crops.

Practical significance: The introduction of the developed biofertilizers on the vegetable lands of the south of Kazakhstan with a predictable positive result will serve as the basis for replicating the technology throughout Kazakhstan, which is of great national importance. The research results are of fundamental and applied importance, because. fertilizers on a bacterial and algological basis will be developed; at the same time, on the basis of screening studies, strains of algae will be identified that increase the yield and stress resistance of vegetable plants; the possibilities of wastewater disposal are considered, the agrotechnology of depleted soils under vegetable crops with the use of obtained biofertilizers is developed. On an international scale, the implementation of the proposed program will reduce the environmental pressure on the pollution of trans boundary territories by refusing to use chemical reagents in the form of fertilizers or pesticides. The industrial interest of enterprises in the south of Kazakhstan is justified by the presence of various unclaimed production wastes such as phosphorus-containing wastewater and slag, which can serve as cheap raw materials for the industrial cultivation of algae, which, on the other hand, will satisfy social demand in the form of reducing environmental tension in the region and creating additional jobs. These wastes occupy about 16 hectares of land in the territory of Shymkent, which, at present, are a source of pollution of the surrounding agricultural landscapes and the city itself. Their disposal will contribute to the socio-psychological relaxation of the population of the adjacent microdistricts.

The aim of the project is to solve the problems of efficient and rational use of near-village pastures through monitoring, geobotanical research and determining the optimal composition of the herbage of desert plants, increasing productivity by treating seeds with biostimulants. The enrichment of the biodiversity of the herbage will lead to the conservation and increase in the number of farm animals, which will be an impetus for positive socio-economic and environmental effects. The scientific significance of the results of the planned scientific research is determined by the insufficient development of the regulatory and legal foundations of the socio-economic and environmental indicators of the favorable living of the near-village population in the desert zone of the Turkestan region.

Scientific novelty: The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the fact that for the first time for the rational use of rural pastures, the optimal composition of the herbage of desert plants will be determined, seeds will be treated with biostimulants and cultural pastures will be created for the full provision of animal feed.The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time a comprehensive assessment of the economic and environmental aspects of the use of rural pasture lands by rural communities will be given.

Practical significance: It is known that the deserts of the south of Kazakhstan are characterized by sharp continentality. The habitat conditions for plants are very harsh. Insufficient atmospheric humidification, high air temperatures in summer, frequent high-speed winds lead to the fact that it is very problematic to obtain high and stable yields of pasture plants in these conditions. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that the excessive load on pastures, the lack of measures taken to improve forage lands from year to year have led to the deterioration of pasture grass. It should be pointed out that over the past few years, no funds have been invested in maintaining and improving the land.

The aim of the project is developing a technology for obtaining new composite depressant reagents for the transportation of paraffinic oil based on by-products of processing cotton stocks, polyolefins and aliphatic alcohols. 

Scientific novelty: The main problem, which is the aim of the project, is to obtain new composite depressant reagents, which are supposed to be used as a depressant additive to reduce the freezing point of transported oil. Currently, in the fields of the South Torgai depression, most of the produced oils contain 12 - 18% of paraffins. These oils, due to the high content of paraffinic compounds, have a relatively high pour point, which makes it difficult to transport them through pipelines. To solve the problem, oil heating points are being installed at certain distances along the pipeline route. It should be noted that at present, due to environmental and economic reasons, the use of thermal oil treatment methods is undesirable. Based on the foregoing, new compositional depressant reagents will be obtained based on by-products of processing cotton soap stocks, polyolefins and aliphatic alcohols in this project, to solve the problem of pipeline transportation of paraffinic oil.

Practical significance: The results of the project will be applied on the enterprises' oil pipelines for the collection and transportation of paraffinic oil. The results of this project will have a positive impact on the development of the oil and gas industry and the petrochemical industry in Kazakhstan. Recommendations will be developed for the production of chemical depressant reagents obtained within the framework of the project for use in the transportation of paraffinic oils. This will allow launching small-tonnage production of new domestic depressant reagents for paraffinic oil transported in the country's oil pipeline system. It would be advisable to organize the production of depressant additives and composite compositions based on them in Shymkent city and Turkestan region, that is, not far from enterprises where there is a sufficient amount of raw materials. The launch of the depressant additives production and composite reagents based on them will, firstly, reduce the dependence of domestic enterprises that are engaged in the transportation of paraffinic oil from the import of imported products and new jobs will be created in the Turkestan region and in Shymkent city.

The aim of the project: development of technology for obtaining certain ion exchangers from a waterproof solution based on modification of cationic groups of high ion exchange capacity in the process of chelating modified cation exchange resins.The Republic of Kazakhstan occupies a leading position in the world in solid converters, such as raw materials, reserves of many minerals and minerals, which represent the power of the main base of the country's production growth. At present, ion exchange has received the widest application in all fields of science and industrial practice due to its operational properties of high materials. With their help, one of the most pressing social and environmental problems is solved — environmental protection. Most of the materials used in production to solve environmental problems have a low static exchange capacity, for this reason there is a need to obtain newly modified ionites with a high ion exchange capacity by introducing a chelating group into the composition. In hydrometallurgy and the nuclear industry, new sorbents for cleaning polluted waters from factories are of great importance. For these reasons, the project is relevant.

Scientific novelty: The scientific novelty consists in the fact that chelating modified cation exchange resins obtained by means of gasipole resin and snail shells are characterized by increased ion exchange capacity during the purification of polluted waters.

Practical significance: The practical significance of the project is to develop a waste disposal technology that allows the recovery of wastewater without heavy metals in the process of industrial wastewater treatment.The use of ion exchange made it possible to carry out continuous technological processes, and in some cases to automate them, to conduct fine kinetic studies using catalysis with ionites. For nuclear power, the need for ionites is increasing. Nuclear power plants consume ionites for decomposing fuel, for defrosting, and water purification of nuclear reactor circuits. The applied significance of the work, depending on the research results, for the concentration of ions and organic substances in the hydrometallurgy of non-ferrous and precious metals, the purification of polluted waters from factories, the practical significance of new sorbents is effective.

The aim of the project is to develop a technology for producing humate-containing fertilizers based on coal waste to improve soil fertility and crop yields.

Scientific novelty: Based on the results of research work, the following parameters were determined:

- thermodynamic characteristics of coal waste decomposition in hydrochloric acid solution were determined using the Outokumpu HSC-6 software package.

- the optimal parameters of the process of decomposition of coal waste from the Lengerskoye deposit in a solution of nitric acid were established using the method of mathematical planning of experiments.

- determined the kinetic regularities of the process of decomposition of coal waste in a solution of nitric acid with the production of humic acids and humates. The value of the "apparent" activation energy calculated by the Arrhenius equation Eapp.= 12.33 kJ/mol indicates that the process takes place in the diffusion region.

- it has been established that the resulting humate-containing fertilizer is characterized by a high content of humic substances, which are involved in soil structure formation, the accumulation of nutrients and microelements in a form accessible to plants, and contribute to the regulation of geochemical flows of metals in water and soil ecosystems.

Practical significance: The practical significance lies in the development of a technology for the disposal of technogenic waste with the production of humate-containing fertilizers, which allows you to restore soil fertility and positively affects plant productivity.

Project topic: Hydrodynamic patterns of an innovative installation for converting flow energy (gas, water) into electrical energy, with vortex interaction of flows

Director: Serikuly Zh., PhD, associate professor.

Project objective: Investigation of the hydrodynamic regularities of an innovative installation for converting alternative energy sources into electrical energy, taking into account vortex interaction.

Scientific novelty: Converting the kinetic energy of air and liquid flows into electrical energy.

Practical significance: Renewable energy in developed countries exceeds 50% of all electricity consumption. Along with widespread renewable sources such as the sun, wind, water, vibration energy is of increasing interest. Environmental vibrations constitute a very promising class among all possible sources of environmental energy. Developed countries use the vibration energy of roads, railways, subways, pedestrian crossings, etc. This project proposes the use of the most common source - wind and water.

Using the advantage of an innovative vibration transducer, the study of hydrodynamic patterns contributes to the development of the direction of vibration energy using flow features. The basis for solving the problem is the results of fundamental and applied research on the development of scientific foundations for the creation of devices with a regular structure and their application for energy conversion. Ways to convert wind energy have been actively explored over the past two decades. The relevance of the wind energy conversion system based on the laws of vortex interaction lies in the intensification of the process of formation and separation of vortices behind streamlined bodies. In the process of energy generation, each element of the converters takes an active part. The uniformity of the distribution of flows over the cross section of the installation improves, the turbulence of the air flow increases due to the intensification of the process of formation and separation of vortices behind the streamlined bodies and the achievement of the mode of simultaneous vortex formation. The key difference of this product is the simplicity of design and installation, applicability in almost any industry, as well as for smart city projects. The design can use the kinetic energy of not only wind, but also liquids, exhaust gas, air flows to optimize the costs of the enterprise.

Project theme: AP08857586 Processing of cotton tar to obtain commercial reagents for the oil and gas industry.

Supervisor: Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor Nadirov K.S.

The aim of the project is to develop competitive synergistic compositions - demulsifiers - for effective oil dehydration, based on fatty acids extracted from a by-product of cottonseed oil processing - fatty acid distillation tar.

The scientific novelty is the use of tar components to obtain demulsifiers. You should pay attention to this aspect. A significant proportion (up to 60-70%) of the residual FAs are unsaturated FAs, which are more reactive in comparison with saturated FAs. Traditionally, fatty acids are obtained by catalytic oxidation of paraffins, with the formation of predominantly saturated fatty acids. First, paraffins are themselves a commercial product. Second, the degree of conversion of saturated fatty acids into oxyethylated derivatives is lower than that of unsaturated fatty acids. Thus, the cost of the proposed demulsifiers will be lower than commercial ones. Calculations have shown that the cost of new demulsifiers will be about 0.5 USD per kilogram.
