The article presents results of theoretical and experimental studies of the processes of iron solid-phase reduction from an iron-containing concentrate obtained as a result of hydrometallurgical dressing of ferromanganese and polymetallic manganese-containing ores with coals of grades D (long-flame) and 2B (brown). The method of thermodynamic modeling using TERRA software complex was used to study the reducing properties of hydrocarbons by calculating equilibrium compositions in the temperature range of 373 - 1873 K. The authors obtained the dependences of compositions and volume of the gas phase formed as a result of the release of volatile components during heating on the temperature for the coals of the grades under consideration. As a result of thermodynamic modeling, the optimal temperatures and consumption are determined, which ensure the complete iron reduction from an iron-containing concentrate. The results of experimental studies were obtained by modern research methods using laboratory and analytical equipment, as well as methods of statistical processing. Results of the coals analysis carried out using the Setaram LabSys Evo thermal analyzer showed that the process of thermal decomposition of coals of the studied grades proceeds according to general laws. The process of thermal decomposition of long-flame coal proceeds less intensively than of brown coal. The results of an experimental study of the processes of thermal decomposition of reducing agents have shown that volumes of the gas phases, formed when coals are heated to a temperature of 1173 K in an argon atmosphere, practically coincide with the calculated values. As a result of thermodynamic modeling and experimental study, the optimal consumption of D and 2B grades of coal is determined at a temperature of 1473 K. The best reducing agent with a minimum specific consumption is long-flame coal of D grade. When determining the optimal amount of reducing agent in charge mixtures during the study of metallization processes, it was found that with an excess of reducing agent, it is possible to achieve almost complete extraction (98 - 99 %) of iron from the concentrate.

ABSTRACTWe report on experimental studies and thermodynamic modeling of the reaction of O2 with the 4H- and 6H-SiC surfaces at high temperatures. This reaction leads to the growth of passivating SiO2 layers at high O2 pressures, etching of the surfaces at lower pressures, and enhancements of the surface segregation of carbon at still lower pressures. A pressure-temperature phase diagram for the oxidation of SiC is presented. Evidence for the thermal decomposition of the SiO2 layer on SiC is also presented.

The danger of forest fires and their large-scale consequences are becoming ever more complex problems for mankind every year. The results of numerical studies of heat transfer processes under suppressing the thermal decomposition reaction of forest combustible materials by films and groups of water droplets are presented. We used forest combustible materials, typical for the Siberian region. We have established the relationship between the dimensions of the heated near-surface layer of the material and the thickness of the film layer of the liquid that evaporated when the thermal decomposition reaction was suppressed in forest combustible materials. Typical times of suppression of the thermal decomposition reaction of typical forest combustible materials are given when the water film on the surface evaporates. The influence of the mutual arrangement of droplets on the surface of the forest combustible material and the temperature of the outer vapor-gas mixture on the times of suppression of its pyrolysis is revealed. The results can be used to develop technologies for extinguishing fires, containment of flame sources and combustion front.

Adapted mathematical model for simulation of running crown forest fire propagation is considered. Simplifying assumptions, equations of the model, initial and boundary conditions, finite difference approximations are introduced. The results of computer modelling and the peculiarities of forest fire behaviour in heterogeneous forests are discussed.

Thermal decomposition of copper digallide was studied using experimental (thermal analysis) and theoretical (thermodynamic modeling) methods. The temperatures of CuGa2incongruent melting are in satisfactory agreement between experimental and calculated values. Small differences with the phase diagram can be explained by minor non-stoichiometry of the alloy samples. The experimental studies of thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion of CuGa2were performed in the temperature range 298-500 K. The heat conductivity coefficient was further calculated using literary data concerning the density and heat capacity of the copper digallide.

The theoretical investigation of the problems oflarge forest fires initiation and spread was carried out in thispaper. Mathematical model of forest fire was based on ananalysis of experimental data and using concept and methodsfrom reactive media mechanics. The research was based onnumerical solution of three dimensional Reynolds equations. Theboundary-value problem is solved numerically using the methodof splitting according to physical processes. A discrete analoguefor the system of equations was obtained by means of the controlvolume method. The developed numerical model of forest fireinitiation and spreading would make it possible to obtain adetailed picture of the variation in the velocity, temperature andchemical species concentration fields with time. The results ofcalculation give an opportunity to describe conditions of crownforest fires initiation and spread at different properties of forestsand meteorological conditions. Forest fires contours and theirsizes depend on crown properties: bulk density, moisture contentof forest fuel, distribution of combustion sources and etc.
