Achievements of the Research Laboratory for 2020-2021 , incl. by volume of grant and contractual financing by year.

In 2020-2021, work was carried out to implement the topic “Development of the design of a combined dust collector with autonomous irrigation circuits and technical documentation.”

In 2020, studies were carried out on hydraulic resistance, the amount of retained liquid, the gas content of the layer, and the general and fractional efficiency of dust collection.

In 2021, equations were obtained for calculating the total hydraulic resistance, hydraulic resistances, respectively, of the dust collection zone, separation plate and absorption zone, the amount of retained liquid, the gas content of the layer, equations for calculating the degree of purification of dust collection zones.

In 2020, research was carried out under the grant project of the Committee of Science of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the topic “Development of technology for flotation extraction of styrene group plastics from a mixture of crushed plastic waste” in the amount of 7.7 million tenge.

Since 2021, research has been carried out under the grant project of the Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan AP09260240 on the topic “Development of a method for vortex interaction of flows with the ability to regulate the temperature in the contact zone and the creation of gas purification systems based on it” in the amount of 13.7 million tenge.
