    Determination of the Efficiency and Selectivity of Anodic Dissolution of a Heat-Resistant Rhenium-Containing Superalloy in Chloride-Containing Media With Sulfuric or Methanesulfonic Acids
    (Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2025) Kotok, Valerii Е.; Sknar, Yuri Е.; Butyrina, Tetyana Е.; Sknar, Irina V.; Sukha, Irina V.; Demchyshyna, Oksana
    ENG: Тhe object of this study is the elec-trochemical anodic dissolution of a heat-resistant nickel-based superalloy containing rhenium and other alloying elements in acidic electrolytes containing sodium chloride. The investi-gated alloy was obtained from scrap of high-temperature equipment. The anodic dissolution of the superalloy was studied in two acidic media: sulfuric and methanesulfonic acids. A comparative analysis of cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic experiments was carried out. In sulfuric acid electrolyte, anodic processes proceed more vigorously, as indicated by higher cur-rent densities. However, this method records not only the dissolution currents of metals but also side processes such as anodic oxygen evolution and reoxidation of dissolved ions. Under galvanostatic conditions, which allow direct determination of alloy mass loss, it was shown that methanesulfonic acid with sodium chloride pro-vides a higher dissolution rate despite the medium's lower conductivity. This effect is explained by the higher solubility and stability of the methane-sulfonates of the alloying components (Cr, Al, Nb, Ta, Re), which reduce the tendency of the surface to repassivate. In the H2SO4 + NaCl medium, dissolution proceeds more uniformly but at lower mass efficiency, attributed to the formation of poorly soluble sulfates. In the methanesulfonate electrolyte, within the current density range of 1.5–2.5 A•dm-2, the ratios of Ni, Cr, Co, W, and Re were closest to those in the original alloy, while rhenium was detected in solution, unlike in the sulfuric medium. The obtained results can be applied to optimize the initial stage of superalloy recycling and to develop electrochemical technologies for the recovery of strategically important metals from industrial waste.

    Performance of Heat Pump Based on Composite Adsorbent ‘Silica Gel – Crystalline Hydrate’
    (Odesa National University of Technology, Odesa, 2025) Belyanovskaya, Elena A.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Serhiienko, Yana O.; Sukhyy, Mikhaylo K.; Sukha, Irina V.
    ENG: Performance of an adsorptive heat pump has been studied. The factors affecting the efficiency of its work have been analyzed. Operating parameters and efficiency of adsorptive heat pumps and adsorptive heat storage devices have been compared. An algorithm of calculating the basic operating characteristics of an adsorption heat pump in heat supply systems has been proposed. It involves calculating the mass transfer coefficient, final absolute humidity of the air flow passed though adsorbent layer, the water uptake or adsorption and the useful heat of adsorption and heat of condensation, determination of heat inputs for the operation of the device such as heating the adsorbent, case of the device, hydraulic circuit, the water in the tank and adsorbed water, heat of desorption and heat of evaporation, estimation the coefficient of energy performance. The evaluation criteria of the efficiency of adsorptive heat pumps and heat storage devices have been compared. It is shown that the operating parameters of the adsorptive heat pump and the adsorptive thermal energy storage device based on composite adsorbents ‘silica gel – sodium sulfate’ and ‘silica gel – sodium acetate’ are the same, i.e. airflow rate 0.08 - 0.1 m3/s and initial absolute humidity of airflow 0.03 – 0.04 kg/m3, which are corresponded with maximal efficiency of the device. The temperature of the humid air flow directed to the adsorbent layer is suggested to be set at 20 – 40 °C. The measures to increase the efficiency of the adsorptive heat pump are proposed. It is shown that ultrasonic air humidification allows to increase the coefficient of energy performance by almost 2 times compared to steam humidification. The obtained results can be used for developing energy-efficient heating systems of residential premises.
