Abstract: The behavior of С₅₆ fullerene when heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of 10⁵ Pa was studied using computer thermodynamic modeling. The modeling consisted in a complete thermodynamic analysis of the system using the TERRA software package, which is one of the most developed and efficient ones that implements such thermodynamic calculations. Experiment temperature ranges are from 273 to 3373 К. Based on the calculated data, a graph of the carbon balance in the С₅₆-N₂ system was constructed, the ongoing physicochemical processes were described, divided into four classes: sublimation, dissociation in the gas phase, chemical reactions occurring in the gas phase, dissociation and chemical reaction in the gas phase. Temperature intervals of reactions are identified. The equilibrium constants of the reactions are calculated and described, as well as the coefficients of these constants are found using the least squares method. The temperature interval of thermal stability of the condensed C₅₆ fullerene and C₅₆ vapors is defined. This work is one of the series of works on the properties of nanoparticles, in the future it is planned to study the thermal properties of higher fullerenes. The data obtained can be used to determine the explosive and fire hazardous properties of fullerenes as a dispersed solid.

Abstract: The protonation process, the adsorption equilibrium process, the adsorption isotherms and the adsorption kinetics of adsorbing Ca(II) and Mg(II) onto Lewatit MonoPlus TP 207 and TP 208 chelating resins were studied using the pH titration method and batch experimental method. By omitting the ionic charges, first protonation constants, second protonation constants and equilibrium constants were determined. The adsorption behaviors were found to be dependent on contact time, pH, temperature and initial concentrations. The experimental adsorption isotherms were fitted using both the Freundlich and Langmuir models. The adsorption kinetics was described by means of the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The adsorption mechanism was found to involve intra-particle diffusion and film diffusion, where both were found to be the rate control steps.

Abstract: In solvent extraction system of perrhenate with the extractant of N235 at high concentration, the equilibrium molalities of ReO4- were measured at ionic strengths from 0.2 to 2.0 mol.kg-1 in the aqueous phase containing Na2SO4 as the supporting electrolyte from 278.15K to 303.15K. The standard extraction constants K0 at various temperatures were obtained. Thermodynamic quantities for the extraction process were also calculated.
