The processes that limit ensuring the ecological safety of reclamation have been identified. In particular, three stages that may be hazardous for the environment have been highlighted: leachate treatment, preparation of soil or substrate for biological reclamation, and preparation of seeds and planting material. Leachate treatment by the aeration method in an aerated lagoon is recommended. The prospect of using such a process has been investigated in laboratory conditions. To ensure the prolonged release of nutrients in the reclamation layer, it is suggested to use encapsulated fertilizers. The effectiveness of the encapsulated fertilizer covered with a PET shell has been studied. For afforestation using high-quality planting material, the use of in vitro microcloning technology is proposed. The perspective of the method is shown in the example of microcloning of the white mulberry Morus alba L.Item The investigation of the porous structure of carbon sorbents based on β-cyclodextrin for use in environmental protection technologies(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2023-02-28) Bordun, Ihor; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Szymczykiewicz, Ewelina; Czestochowa University of Technology; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityIn this paper, the porous structure of three types of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) carbons was synthesized and investigated. The first carbon was obtained from pure β-CD, the second carbon was synthesized from β-CD using the KOH activator, and the third carbon was synthesized from pure β-CD with additional ultrasonic treatment in the non-cavitation mode at the last stage. It was found that the carbon from pure β-CD has a micromesoporous structure with a small specific surface area (~35 m2/g). Activation with KOH causes a significant increase in the specific surface area (~654 m2/g) due to an increase in the content of micropores with an average size of 1,25 nm. The ultrasonic treatment causes mechanical grinding and oxidation of the carbon surface. It has been shown that such treatment increases the mesopore content and significantly changes the mesopore size distribution. It has been established that the oxidation of the β-CD carbon surface after ultrasonic treatment causes an increase in its hydrophilicity of up to 83,1%. The increase in hydrophilicity will allow more efficient use of synthesized carbon and composites based on it in solving the problems of environmental safety in water environments.Item The influence of terrain, climatic conditions and factors on the atmospheric air monitoring system, based on the implementation of eu legislation on the example of Lviv region(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2023-02-28) Kravets, Ihor; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Tymchuk, Ivan; Shkvirko, Oksana; Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Lviv Regional State Administration; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityThe article is devoted to the influence of terrain, landscapes, and meteorological conditions on the establishment of air quality monitoring points in the relevant territory of the Lviv region. The main factors affecting the distribution of the concentration of pollutants in atmospheric air during the design of air monitoring stations have been determined. It was established that the level of the surface concentration of pollutants increases with an increase in the power of the emission source, the density, and size of impurity particles, and decreases with an increase in the height and radius of the orifice of the emission source, the temperature of the emission, and the rate of release of impurities from the source.Item Disposal of used forming mixtures from foundries of machine-building plants in the production of perforated material(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2022-03-01) Malovanyy, Myroslav; Ilyash, Oksana; Povzun, Oleksiy; Bylym, Ludmyla; Osinniy, Nikita; Lviv Polytechnic National University; National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”; Donetsk National Technical UniversityThe waste of foundries of machine-building plants - spent moulding mixtures was studied. The expediency of using spent mixtures of foundry production as a siliceous component of foam concrete mixtures has been proven. The spent mixtures were studied for their foaming ability. The foam properties are determined. The effect of concrete mixture components on the pore-forming ability of foam agents was investigated. Of the six foaming agents studied in the work, saponified tree resin was found to be the most effective. The technological parameters for the preparation of aerated concrete mixture have been developed. The average density of foam concrete in the dry state and its limit of compressive strength were used as criteria for resource evaluation of used moulding mixtures of foundry production. Foam concrete products of non-autoclave hardening with an average density of not less than 900 kg/ m3 and a compressive strength of not less than 4.5 MPa were obtained.Item Obtaining and Using Substrates with Sewage Sludge(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2022-03-01) Malovanyy, Myroslav; Storoshchuk, Uliana; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityThe article is devoted to the study of the prospects of using compost with sewage sludge in the raw material for the recultivation of disturbed lands. A special installation was used for bio-composting, which allowed controlling of the process parameters. The results of bio-indication of composts obtained under different conditions of compositions of the raw material mixture are given. Based on the analysis of the results of bioindication, the optimal composition of the raw material mixture using “fresh” and “old” sewage sludge is established. An analysis of the parameters of the bio-indication process was carried out for this compost of optimal composition, which makes it possible to develop recommendations for the implementation of the process in industrial conditions.Item Histrory of International Partnership – Scientific Priorities and Educational Activity of Professor Tsitsino Turkadze(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2022-03-01) Malovanyy, Myroslav; Turkadze, Tsitsino; Lviv Polytechnic National University; Akaki Tsereteli State UniversityThe article describes the main stages of professional work, scientific priorities, and educational activities of Professor Tsitsino Turkadze.

The article considers the existing methods of solid waste management in order to select the most optimal waste management system in the context of sustainable development.Item Improvement of the municipal solid waste disposal system in Ukraine, on the example of the town of Chortkiv, Ternopil region(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2021-06-01) Ratushniak, Maryna; Tymchuk, Ivan; Berezyuk, Dariya; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityToday, in Ukraine, there is a problem with solid waste disposal, especially in small towns. The lack of a developed system for the collection and disposal of solid waste, the presence of natural landfills instead of equipped landfills lead to the fact that small towns are abandoned. Therefore, the creation of a new solid waste management policy is an acute problem for these towns and villages. This article is devoted to analysing the global experience of solid waste management and, based on that, formulating recommendations for solid waste management in small towns using Chortkiv as an example.
