Kinetic Regularities of the Processes of Accumulation and Destruction of Microorganisms in Water at Bubbling of the Different Gases

Kineticі of microorganisms accumulation (the first stage) and destruction (the second stage) in water dispersion in the air atmosphere and at bubbling of oxygen, argon and helium has been investigated. The accumulation of microorganism takes place in oxygen and in the air atmosphere at the first stage. The microorganisms destruction was observed at bubbling of the system by argon, helium during the whole process, however, in the air atmosphere and oxygen – in the second stage. 

Biodegradation and Biodeterioration of Some Natural Polymers

This review is accumulating the information about biodamages and protection of textile materials and fibers. The contributors made a special emphasis on the problems of cotton fiber biodamaging, bast fiber biodamaging, biodamaging of artificial fibers, wool fiber biodamaging, change of structure and properties of wool fibers by microorganisms, and on the methods of textile material protection against damaging by microorganisms. The authors are also discussing the mechanism the natural polymer materials degradation.

Mechanism and Kinetic Regularities of Inactivating Effects of Cavitation on Microorganisms

Disinfective action of physical-chemical effects accompanying hydrodynamic cavitation on the microorganisms sanitary indices in water has been studied. Disinfection kinetics was found to be dependent on the cavitation field characteristics and the microbes population. Based on the structural-morphological investigation of the E.coli bacteria it was found that antimicrobial effect is obtained due to the mechanical rupture of cells and chemical disinfection, which results from the hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide effect.
