The use of liquid organomineral fertilizers (LOMF) based on chelates of<br />microelements and humates leads not only to an increase in yield and product quality, but also to a<br />decrease in economic costs. LOMF s have a complex effect on plants, activate various physiological<br />processes, increase the plant defense mechanism to various stresses and phytopathogens, improve the<br />structure and properties of the soil. The aim of the work is to study the patterns of the influence of sodium<br />humate concentrations on the process of obtaining humate-, nitrogen- and molybdenum-containing<br />LOMFs. Methods. The methods of chemical analysis, an atomic emission spectrometer with inductively<br />coupled plasma, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were used. Results and discussion.<br />Based on chemical and physicochemical analyses, the effect of sodium humate concentrations on the<br />composition and properties of the synthesized products was determined. The results demonstrated that<br />increasing sodium humate concentrations from 0.1% to 1.0% led to a rise in the yield of humic acids<br />(HAdaf) from 33.73% to 38.60%, nitrogen content from 4.21% to 5.27%, and molybdenum content from<br />0.22% to 0.30%, the amount of COOH - from 1.28 to 1.80 mg-eq/g and OHphen.groups –from 0.34 to 0.70<br />mg-eq/g. IR spectral analysis revealed that the interaction of sodium humate with ammonium<br />heptamolybdate results in the formation of a complex compounds. The IR spectra of the LOMF samples<br />exhibited distinct and well-defined absorption peaks at specific wavelengths, indicating an enrichment<br />with carboxyl, phenolic, and carbonyl functional groups. Conclusion. Physicochemical investigations of<br />the synthesized LOMFs confirmed that the interaction of sodium humate with ammonium heptamolybdate<br />leads to the formation of organomineral chelate complexes incorporating molybdenum ions. The<br />formation of these complex compounds, alongside increased concentrations of HAdaf, nitrogen,<br />molybdenum, COOH, and OHphen groups, enhances the biological activity and agrochemical efficacy of<br />the fertilizers.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1029ZHAYREM OVERBURDEN ACID LEACHING STUDY2025-06-02T15:26:24+05:00Ainur Raimbekovaa.raimbekova@satbayev.universitySholpan Kubekovas.kubekova@satbayev.universityVictoria Kapralovav.kapralova@satbayev.universityKanay Rysbekov k.rysbekov@satbayev.universityAmantay Dalbanbaya.dalbanbay@satbayev.universityGulnur Ibraimovag.ibraimova@satbayev.universityAlikhan Mukhanovalekeee_4@mail.ru<p>Introduction. Most deposits of manganese ores in Kazakhstan are mined in an open way.<br />This creates large waste dumps that are not disposed of and have a negative impact on the environment.<br />Since these wastes contain various valuable components, they can be used as an alternative raw material<br />source in the production of various inorganic materials. However, there is no practice of involving<br />overburden waste in production in Kazakhstan. The purpose of this work is to study the process of<br />leaching overburden waste from the Zhayrem deposit with various mineral acids and the possibility of<br />using the resulting solutions as liquid mineral fertilizers enriched with trace elements. Results and<br />discussion. The process of leaching overburden waste from the Zhayrem manganese ore deposit with<br />various mineral acids was investigated. It has been shown that the optimal reagents of the leaching process<br />are nitric and orthophosphoric acids. It was revealed that leaching of overburden waste with 10%<br />solutions of these acids at Т: Ж = 1:25 and a temperature of 50 ° С leads to the formation of productive<br />solutions that can be recommended for use as a basis for the production of liquid phosphorus or nitrogen<br />fertilizers containing the trace element manganese.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/998SYNTHESIS AND RESEARCH OF NEW DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENTS BASED ON BETAINE AND CHOLINE CHLORIDE2025-04-29T13:44:48+05:00Kanat Sadykovkanat.sadykov.80@bk.ruSalimat Ryspayevaryspaeva95@inbox.ruAigul Kerimkulova kerimkulova07@mail.ruSholpan Islam sholpan_islamova@mail.ruDinara Adikanova adikanovadinara@gmail.comTolegen Chalov chalov.45@mail.ruNesiphan Bektenovbektenbna@gmail.com<p>Introduction. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are easy to synthesize, exhibit high purity,<br />and are, importantly, cost-effective. Recent studies have shown that they are biodegradable,<br />environmentally friendly, and hydrophobic. DESs are typically described as mixtures of a hydrogen bond<br />acceptor (HBA) and a hydrogen bond donor (HBD), which, when combined, form a eutectic mixture with<br />a melting point lower than that of its individual components. The purpose of the work: is to synthesize<br />new DESs based on betaine and examine their physicochemical properties. Results and discussions: the<br />optimal synthesis ratio for these DESs was determined. Their pH values were found to be 6.85 and 7.0,<br />respectively. The density and viscosity were measured, and the functional groups and interactions were<br />analyzed through IR spectroscopy. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that the proposed deep eutectic<br />solvents, due to their unique structural properties, can be utilized in various industrial applications due to<br />their optimal chemical and physical characteristics.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1015INCREASING THE BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF HUMIC COMPOUNDS BY MODIFYING THEM UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS2025-05-20T15:39:54+05:00Zamira Bayakhmetovazamirabkz@mail.ruUmirzak Dzhussipbekov jussipbekov@mail.ruГулзипа НұрғалиеваN_gulzipa@mail.ruErsin Tussupkaliev t_ersin@mail.ruAinur Shakirova Sh_ainura1029@mail.ruDulat Duisenbaidulat_211@mail.ruUlzhan Aksakalova ulzhan.9494@mail.ruAlina Altyruovaaaltyruova@gmail.com<p>Introduction. Humic substances are multifunctional organic compounds; modification of<br />their macromolecules allows obtaining new compounds with tailored properties and diverse compositions.<br />Research is ongoing, but harsh conditions often lead to structural degradation. Therefore, chemical<br />modification of humic compounds under mild conditions using affordable reagents is relevant for<br />improving properties and expanding applications. The aim is to study the influence of various factors on<br />obtaining new compounds through the interaction of sodium humate and aluminum orthophosphate.<br />Methods. Standard methods, functional and X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier-transform infrared<br />spectroscopy. Results and Discussion. The study determined the dependence of the modification process<br />of sodium humate derived from lignite with aluminum orthophosphate on the ratio of initial substances,<br />temperature, and time. Analysis showed that by changing the solid-to-liquid ratio from 1:5 to 1:15,<br />temperature from 20°C to 80°C, and time from 10 to 120 minutes, the yield of humic acids increases to<br />4.20%, N content – to 1.15%, P2O5 – to 31.18%, COOH groups – to 1.91 mmol/g, OHphen. – to 1.01<br />mmol/g, and static exchange capacity – to 14.73 mg-eq/g. Conclusion. It was found that the interaction of<br />sodium humate with aluminum orthophosphate involves ion exchange and complexation reactions. The<br />resulting organomineral compounds exhibit increased content of acidic groups, humic acids, phosphorus,<br />and nitrogen. Chemical modification of humates with phosphates of varying basicity under mild<br />conditions can produce humate-containing preparations with high biological activity and efficiency for<br />use in agriculture, industry, and environmental purposes.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1023In silico EVALUATION OF THE PHARMACOKINETICS AND TOXICITY OF NOVEL PIPERIDINE DERIVATIVES2025-05-13T15:11:00+05:00Ten Asselten-assel@mail.ruDilnaz Bissenbaydidy_17@mail.ruValentina Yu yu_vk@mail.ruZhanar Zhaxibayeva zhanarkaznpu@mail.ruValery Dembitskyvalery.dembitsky@lethbridgecollege.ca<p>Introduction.

The article discusses the thermochemical properties of the composition of<br />silver nanoparticles functionalized by the β-oligosaccharide clathrate complex of cytisine and its O,Odimethylphosphate derivatives. Methodology. Thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric<br />analyses were used to obtain data on the kinetics of thermal decomposition of the studied substrates, as<br />well as their encapsulated complexes of inclusions modified with silver nanoparticles. Results and<br />Discussion. Studies have been carried out on a scanning electron microscope aimed at analyzing the<br />evolution of their structure under the influence of various temperature conditions. Energy profiles of the<br />processes of destruction of clathrate molecules have been obtained. It is shown that the process of<br />destruction of clathrate molecules begins in reactions with higher activation energy values and continues<br />with a uniform decrease in Ea along the reaction path, which indicates a multi-stage process. The research<br />results made it possible to identify the corresponding phase transformations of nanocompositions, as well<br />as possible recrystallization processes and other changes occurring in the inclusion complexes as a result<br />of annealing.

The kinetic data obtained contribute to predicting the properties of the obtained<br />compositions of silver nanoparticles functionalized by the β-oligosaccharide clathrate complex of cytisine<br />and its phosphorous derivative under long-term storage conditions and searching for optimal ways to<br />stabilize them.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1001FURFURAL HYDRATING ON PROMOTED SKELETAL COPPER CATALYSTS2025-06-17T15:58:57+05:00Serikbek Shitybayev shitibaev.serikbek@mail.ruBahytjan Kedelbaev kedelbaev@yandex.kzSarsenbek Turtabaevsarsenbek.turtabaev@mail.ruKulzada Lahanova kulzada56@mail.ruArailym Amirbek araylim0709@gmail.com<p>Introduction. Furfural is a five-membered heterocyclic aldehyde of the furan series,<br />which is an important biomass-derived compound. Its hydrogenation product, furfuryl alcohol, has<br />numerous industrial applications. The selective hydrogenation of furfural has attracted interest for the<br />development of efficient catalytic processes. In this study, attention is given to alloyed copper catalysts<br />modified by ferroalloys for the hydrogenation process. The purpose of this work is to develop a process<br />for the selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The researchers developed highly active<br />suspended alloyed alumina-copper catalysts, incorporating ferroalloys as promoters. Specifically, skeletal<br />copper catalysts with 70% aluminum content were prepared, and ferroalloy additives such as FMo<br />(ferromolybdenum) and FMn (ferromanganese) were introduced. The catalytic activity was studied under<br />different technological conditions by monitoring the hydrogenation of furfural. Results and Discussion. It<br />was found that the promoting effect of FMo and FMn is associated with the formation of new MeAl₃<br />compounds, inclusions, and eutectoids in the alloys, which remain in the non-alkaline state of the leached<br />catalysts. Among the tested multicomponent copper catalysts, the activity order increased as follows: Cu70% Al < Cu-FMn < Cu-3% FMo < Cu-FMo + FMn. Conclusion. The study demonstrates that alloyed<br />copper catalysts promoted with ferroalloys, particularly a combination of FMo and FMn, exhibit enhanced<br />catalytic activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. These findings<br />contribute to the development of more efficient catalytic systems for biomass-derived chemical<br />transformations.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1028SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND LABORATORY SCREENING OF GROWTH-STIMULATING, HERBICIDAL AND FUNGICIDAL ACTIVITIES OF DITHIOCARBOMATE AND ITS THIOANHIDRIDES BASED ON 2-OXOPYRROLIDINE2025-06-17T13:14:40+05:00Yelena Sychevayelena-sycheva@yandex.kzNazymgul Otepnazimgyl5@gmail.comMeruyert Mukanovachem_mukan@mail.ru<p>Introduction. The search for new and effective plant growth stimulants and chemical<br />plant protection agents remains a pressing issue in modern agrochemistry. This study aimed to synthesize<br />dithiocarbamate and its thioanhidrides based on pyrrolidin-2-one and evaluate their potential as plant<br />growth regulators, herbicides and fungicides. Results and Discussion: Sodium dithiocarbamate based on<br />2-oxopyrrolidine and its butyric and benzoic 2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carbothioic thioanhydrides was<br />synthesized with yields of 84%, 88%, and 67%, respectively. The structures of the synthesized<br />compounds were established based on the analysis of elemental data, IR spectroscopy, 1H and 13C NMR<br />spectroscopy data. Primary laboratory screening for growth-stimulating, herbicidal, and fungicidal activity<br />was carried out. Conclusion: High germination rates were observed when wheat seeds were treated with<br />sodium 2-oxopyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate at a concentration of 100 mg/l, resulting in 90% laboratory<br />germination compared to 70% in the control and 80% with treatment by the standards KN-2 and AN-16.<br />Phytotoxicity assays demonstrated that compound 1, at concentrations of 0.01-1 mg/ml, did not negatively<br />affect the sowing qualities of Agrostis and Lactuca seeds and instead promoted intensive growth.<br />Furthermore, sodium dithiocarbamate and its thioanhdrides exhibited fungicidal activity comparable to the<br />standard tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD). The infection rate of wheat and barley seeds by<br />phytopathogenic fungi in the untreated control was 100% and 77.3%, respectively. In contrast, treatment<br />with compounds 1-3 at 0.001-0.1% reduced infection to 12.6-26% for wheat and 7.3-16% for barley,<br />compared to 0.4% and 2.6% with TMTD.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstanhttps://chemjournal.kz/index.php/journal/article/view/1011SELF-PROPAGATING HIGH TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS OF SHAPE MEMORY TITANIUM-NICKEL ALLOYS2025-06-13T11:55:04+05:00Nursaule Baatarbekb.nurka@mail.ruKaster Kamunur kamunur.k@mail.ruOnuralp Yücelyucel@itu.edu.tr<p>Introduction This research work is aimed at developing (establishing) an effective<br />method for synthesizing nitinol alloy (Ni – Ti), a shape memory material using the self-propelled hightemperature synthesis (SHS) process. The synthesis was performed using condensed mixtures composed<br />of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), nickel oxide (NiO), and magnesium (Mg), where magnesium served as a<br />reducing agent. The mass fraction of magnesium was varied between 25% and 45% to determine its<br />impact on combustion characteristics. The results showed that the highest combustion temperature<br />reached 1845 °C, with a peak propagation velocity of 9.0 mm/s, demonstrating the system’s strong<br />exothermic nature. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed activation energies of 379.66 kJ/mol and 366.44<br />kJ/mol as calculated using the Kissinger and Ozawa methods, respectively. These values confirm the<br />thermodynamic feasibility of the SHS reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified the presence<br />of multiple phases, including TiNi, MgO, and Mg₂TiO₄, indicating simultaneous reduction and<br />intermetallic formation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a porous microstructure with pore<br />sizes in the range of 50–200 nm, suggesting the suitability of the material for biomedical and sensor<br />applications. Overall, the research confirms that SHS offers a promising pathway to synthesize porous<br />NiTi alloys directly from metal oxides, reducing costs and avoiding complex vacuum-based melting<br />techniques traditionally required in nitinol production.</p>2025-06-27T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 Chemical Journal of Kazakhstan
