The intensification of technological processes in modern industries is accompanied by an increase in the volume of ventilation and technological emissions, which have an extremely adverse effect on the environment. As is known, wet dust and gas cleaning devices are widely and successfully used to solve this problem. However, the presence of a droplet dispersion of the working fluid in the purified air flow, which can pollute the atmosphere with components captured during the cleaning process, does not allow achieving the required degree of purification. The article presents designs of radial-inertial droplet eliminators, optimized for functional and energy characteristics, proposed for installation in intensive wet dust and gas purification devices for effective separation of droplet moisture.

The purpose of author's researches - assessment of level of pollution by fine particles (PM10, PM5, PM2.5, PM1, PM0.5) of atmospheric air in territories of parks in Volgograd. Due to the fact that the parks operate year-round, research was carried out in the winter, spring-autumn and summer periods of the year. Research, in particular, was carried out in two parks located in the central part of Volgograd, where there are no industrial enterprises, and are adjacent to one of the largest city highways. Analysis of the particulate composition and mass concentration of fine dust in atmospheric air was performed using microscopic analysis and using Handheld 3016. At the same time, the temperature and relative humidity of the air, wind speed and atmospheric pressure were measured. Measurements were made in places with the largest concentration of visitors to the park at an altitude of 0.5 m, 1 m and 1.5 m, i.e. in the breathing zone of children, adolescents and adults. In the air environment on the territory of the surveyed park zones of Volgograd, there is no excess of the MPC in the atmospheric air for suspended matter RI2.5 observed, but there are cases of significant excess of the average annual and average daily MPC for RM10 particles.

The problem of atmospheric air pollution by dust particles, along with the formation of greenhouse gases, covers many countries of the world. To monitor the state of atmospheric air, expensive and cumbersome monitoring stations are traditionally used, for which state organizations are responsible. The use of inexpensive sensor particle sensors that will allow real-time measurements at the border of the sanitary protection zone of industrial enterprises and on the territory of the residential zone opens up new prospects in the field of atmospheric air research. Currently, about 10 thousand inexpensive sensors operate on the territory of 75 countries of the world, which causes the involvement of citizens in the collection of data on the state of atmospheric air. The presented technology for monitoring the concentration of fine particulate matter can replace the traditional measurement method, but the question remains of the value of the data obtained in terms of their accuracy. This article discusses the factor influencing the deviation of the readings of the inexpensive Nova SDS011 solid particle sensor. To do this, the sensor was tested in real environmental conditions, experimental dependences of the concentration of dust particles of no more than 2.5 micrometers depending on humidity were obtained.

The article deals with the problem of disposal of the sludge formed after the treatment of wastewater at the production of chemical fibers. Sludge after sedimentation is stored in storages and pollutes the environment. We carried out a comparative analysis of existing methods of disposal of sewage sludge from chemical production, which showed that the most environmentally friendly way is pyrolysis. We have analyzed the chemical and fractional composition of ash sludge after pyrolysis. The analysis revealed that the resulting ash waste is similar to ash from coal-fired power plants, which makes it possible to use it as a microfill for paving roads or sidewalks. By selling the ash waste it is possible to reduce the payback period of the pyrolysis unit installation and reduce the ecological load on the environment.

Due to the peculiarities of the technology, in gypsum production preference is given to dry cleaning of emissions into the atmospheric air from dust. At the same time, dust cleaning systems are arranged in multistage with installation of cyclones at the first stage, bag filters or electric precipitators - at the second. According to the results of research, it was found that the efficiency of cyclones in collecting gypsum dust is 70-75%, precipitators - 97.6-98.5%, and is insufficient neither to ensure sanitary and hygienic conditions, nor to reduce production losses. Based on the results of the studies, the median diameters of dust transported in the engineering and environmental system were determined: after the gypsum boiler - 25-58 microns; after the cooler - 38 μm; after the mill ring - 21 μm; before the electrostatic precipitator - 28 μm. To increase the efficiency of the dust cleaning system, it is proposed to replace the cyclone installed before the electrostatic precipitator with a block of two parallel dust collectors on opposite swirled flows. It has been experimentally established that the effectiveness of such a solution is 88.9-94.9%. Based on the results of studies and statistical processing of the data obtained, it was established. that the main influence on the efficiency of the dust collector unit is exerted by the relative volumetric flow rate in the flow sucked in the lower part of the main VZP apparatus. The highest efficiency values are achieved with its values 0.15-0.22. It was also established that the highest efficiency values are noted in the case when the diameter of the auxiliary VZP device is 2 times smaller than the diameter of the main one. Such mode and design parameters should be recommended for efficient operation of the plant.

The article deals with issues related to the operation of dedusting systems for technological equipment in the production of gypsum and gypsum building materials. The purpose of the research is to identify the features of the layout and operation modes of aspiration systems operated at existing enterprises. Data on the mass of dust determined from the results of measurements entering the working area from individual technological units are given. According to the results of measurements, it was found that from 10% to 20% of the mass of dust released in the technological process enters the working area. Examples of layout solutions for branched aspiration systems serving conveyors, transfer units, crushers of various types are given. It is shown that the reasons for their unsatisfactory work are the lack of aerodynamic linkage and insufficient volumes of removed air. The features of the layout and operating modes of the aspiration system from the gypsum boiler and mill are described. It is shown that individual sections of the system and the system as a whole operate in non-stationary modes, which is due to the variability of the flow rates and dustiness of the moving dust and gas flows.

The development of modern cities, caused by the need to improve the living environment, contributes to the creation of new buildings and structures. As a result, the density of typical urban development increases, mainly with rectangular buildings. Such buildings, with closed areas of courtyard spaces, create extreme microclimatic conditions and aggravate the air exchange of territories, thereby violating thermal and environmental comfort. This situation is especially acute in the southern cities. The article analyzes the influence of modern typical building on the microclimatic conditions of yard spaces. The factors influencing the formation of the heat and wind regime of urban areas have been identified. On the example of a building with a characteristic orientation for the conditions of Dushanbe, a graphical-analytical calculation of the duration of facade insolation was carried out. The role of insolation in the formation of convective flows of thermal origin is determined. On the basis of field studies, changes in the maximum speed of convective flows near the walls of the building were determined. The role of convective flows of thermal origin in the formation of the heat-wind regime of yard spaces is indicated.
