The inclusion of sewage sludge as a raw material in technologies for processing substrates makes it possible to solve the problems of accumulation and negative environmental impact of this hazardous waste, in addition to the problems of recycling. Promising strategies for the use of sewage sludge in combination with other components for reclamation purposes are considered: the production of substrates by direct mixing without any physical and chemical transformation of the substrate before application for reclamation purposes; composting to obtain reclamation compost; preliminary anaerobic biodegradation with the formation of biogas and subsequent use of digestate for reclamation purposes. The conditions for the application of the strategies, their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed.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 Obtaining Environmentally Friendly Encapsulated Mineral Fertilizers Using Encapsulated Modified Pet(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2022-03-01) Grechanik, Ruslan; Lutek, Wojciech; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Nagursky, Oleg; Tymchuk, Ivan; Petrushka, Kateryna; Luchyt, Liubov; Storoshchuk, Uliana; Lviv Regional State Administration; Maria Curie Sklodowska University; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityThe article deals with the study of the prospects for the use of mineral fertilizers encapsulated in PET for bioremediation. This increases efficiency, prevents environmental pollution from undigested plants with plant nutrients, and minimizes the number of application operations. In addition, it disposes of a significant portion of PET waste, the uncontrolled accumulation of which poses a threat to the environment. The basic technological schemes of preparation of a film-forming composition and encapsulation of fertilizers are offered. The kinetic parameters of the process of release of batteries of granulated ammonium nitrate encapsulated with a film based on modified PET are determined.Item Analysis of the main methods of solid waste management(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2021-06-01) Storoshchuk, Ulana; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Tymchuk, Ivan; Luchyt, Liubov; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityThe world’s growing population and, as a result, higher consumption of goods and services have led to a rapid increase in municipal solid waste. This situation creates serious environmental problems that require clear strategies for managing this waste. Improving the efficiency of recycling to restore quality materials, saving resources and maintaining waste in landfills are among the most pressing problems of our time. 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.Item Prospects of cleaning filtrates by aerobic-reagent method on the example of Lviv region(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2021-06-01) Malovanyy, Myroslav; Zhuk, Volodymyr; Tymchuk, Ivan; Vronska, Nataliya; Zavoyko, Bogdan; Senkovych, Olha; Lviv Polytechnic National UniversityIn 2021, the situation with the collecting, processing and disposal of waste in general, solid waste in particular, remains difficult in Ukraine and needs to be solved immediately.

Approximately 40–50 % of municipal solid waste is organic, so the removal of this part of waste from landfills through composting and conversion of waste into secondary material resources will significantly reduce the environmental load on existing and potentially planned landfills. Therefore, the choice of promising technologies for the disposal of organic waste is one of the major tasks to ensure environmental safety. One of the effective strategies for dealing with excessive amounts of organic waste and one of the best and most affordable technologies for the waste recycling system is composting.Item Theoretical and practical aspects of the efficiency of application of mineral fertilizers encapsulated with polyethylene terephthalate(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2020-02-10) Synelnikov, Serhiy; Malovanyy, Myroslav; Nahurskyy, Oleh; Luchyt, Liubov; Petrushka, Kateryna; Tymchuk, Ivan; Stokaliuko, Oleh; Lviv Polytechnic National University; Lviv State University of Life SafetyThe environmental impact of residual mineral fertilizers not utilized by plants is analyzed.
