    Abstract: Studies have been made into a new possibility of modifying the surface of steels having a low tempering temperature by nitriding them in a vacuum-arc gas discharge followed by heat treatment (heating, quenching and tempering). Generally, nitriding of hardened steels takes place at a temperature of about 500°C, and thus this process appears impossib... Show More

    Abstract: The paper analyzes processes leading to the formation of gold-bearing sulphide deposits. The study was based on the data available for the territory of Ukraine and other regions. The deposits in question are shown to be associated with post-geosynclinal activation as postulated by concepts of the advection-polymorphism hypothesis. The nature of ore... Show More

    Abstract: The current context of sustainable development encourages the development of materials with low environmental impact, which explains the renewed interest in earthen constructions. This study is therefore a contribution to the valorization of clay raw materials from Côte d'Ivoire and agro-industrial waste in eco-construction. The aims of this study ... Show More
