The adsorbed capacity of the oxide-hydroxide samples, obtained by water oxidation of nanosized electroblasting aluminum has been investigated. It has been shown that samples contain nanofibers AIO(OH), and non-fibrous phases of hydroxides and oxides. The specific surface area (400 M2/gr); surface part of both micro-and mesopores (about 90 %); pH of isotonic condition (7,7), which corresponds to the positive potential on the surface; volume capacity for H+ and OI+, which is the same for both ions (3,18 millimole/gr), which, in its turn, suits to the occurrence of the whole surface sample in the exchange process, have been measured. Isotherms of the adsorption have been obtained and adsorption dependence on pH for a number of substances containing As3+, As5+, Cr6+, Ni2+ has been determined. It has been shown that As3+adsorbs in the form of molecules in the corresponding acid, As5+ - H2As04\ chrome-chromate and biochromate - in the form of ions, nickel - Ni2+. The maximum capacity of anions was about 0,12 miliiequivalent/gr, and for Ni2+ - 0,24 mil-liequivalent/gr.

Products of chemical reactions occurring at action of pulse electric discharges on interface iron - salt solutions containing Ni2+ and HSiO3- ions have been determined. It was shown that hydrolysis and exchange reactions locally initiated by heating and occurring without change of solute oxidation degree take part in product formation.

This article presents the issues of developing professional competences of international students in technical university considering their limited command of Russian. There is a focus on an interdisciplinary communication while studying Russian as well as special technical university courses, and on ways to improve the quality of educational services during the period of study. On the basis of teaching experience of practicing professionals of Interdisciplinary Department of International Education and Language Communication Institute, the recommendations on providing studies for international students are given.

Sorption isotherms of As3+, As5+, Cr6+, Ni2+ ions on the surface of nanosized fibrous aluminium oxyhydroxide were obtained, maximum adsorption capacity and adsorption constant were determined. It was shown that the change of solution pH and surface modification of nanosized fibrous aluminium oxyhydroxide leads to the increase of adsorption ability.

The approach to the implementation of interdisciplinary links in the teaching of natural science subjects in Russian as a foreign language was discussed in this articles. We identified the interdisciplinary links and their functioning in the teaching of "General Biology” for the international students of the Preparatory course. We showed that the interdisciplinary links exist not only between natural science disciplines and mathematics but also with humanities. Using systematic analysis we identified the types and nature of the interdisciplinary links. Arrangement of classes using interdisciplinary links was shown by the example of the themes study of "The chemical composition of eukaryotic cells" and "Protein biosynthesis". Thus the article deals with relevance of creating a comprehensive, integrated learning technologies led to a more general universal knowledge and skills which are based on the interdisciplinary links.

The article deals with scientifi c research work of schoolchildren and students based on the integration of the education system itself, developing in its turn, the association of the education establishment «School- Institute». High motivation to do scientifi c research work is shown to be the base to get good results and show your intellectual ability. Effi ciency of scientifi c research work of schoolchildren and students at fi rst stage of education is confi rmed by high level of scientifi c conferences where students and schoolchildren who do scientifi c research work present their reports.

In this article the authors reveal teacher’s research competence as an efficiency improvement factor in the student research work. Social changes within our society further the issue of teacher’s professional competence. Improving human resources requires definite changes in the teacher’s attitude and standpoint to education quality. Teacher’s research competence is considered as a starting point in the successful organization of the student research work. When a teacher sets a problem he or she not only provides theoretical information but also those research methods necessary in solving this or that problem. There are examples of successful student research integrated with general subjects. Special attention is paid to the application of the regional chemical education content component, as a chemical and ecological training factor.

This paper considers self-guided work of students as a main factor of an asynchronous organization in the academic activity. The motivation problems for students’ and teachers’ self- guided work organization are presented. This paper observes difficulties (motivational, communicative, cognitive and informative) that students have when doing self-study learning, besides, it discusses the ways of overcoming these difficulties. The ways of students’ self-guided work organization on the basis of teaching materials variability are proposed. An example of involving students in research work and participation in scientific events as a part of self-study learning organization at Institute of International Education and Language Communication of Tomsk Polytechnic University is given. As a result of such organization of self-guided work, cognitive activity and students' self-study learning is shown to increase, and a positive motivation is formed.

This paper considers actuality, scientific and methodological principles of the Pre-Master program design for foreign citizens, as well as educational technology for its realization. According to the analysis of the experience realization of the Pre-Bachelor and Pre-Master programs for foreign citizens in foreign and Russian universities, the differences between these programs and the specific features of the Pre-Master programs are shown. The results of the initial monitoring of the Pre-Master program realization in Tomsk Polytechnic University are analyzed and proposals for its further development are presented.

Chemical reactions in electric metal (Fe) pulse dispersion in the aqueous solutions of inorganic substance (НSiO3–, Ni2+, As3+ Н2AsO4–, Mn2+, Cr2O72–) were determined through IR spectroscopy, X-ray phase, chemical, kinetic, and thermodynamic analyses. Under such conditions, both reduction (As5+→ As3+, Cr6+→ Cr3+) and oxidation (As3+→ As5+, Mn2+ → Mn4+) reactions occur, as well as ,locally initiated by heating, hydrolysis and exchange reactions without changing the oxidation rate of the dissolved substance itself. Reduction and oxidation of dissolved substances is determined by the generation and activation of high dispersed Fe in an electric discharge. The model of physico-chemical processes in electric metal pulse dispersion in water and aqueous salt solutions is presented.

In this article the authors show the pilot results of a new textbook “Determination of chemical pollution in biosphere”. The textbook was worked out at the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry for a new Degree programme “Safety in Technosphere”. The present article describes this textbook as a great help in motivating students for learning chemistry. Studying “Chemistry” students use this textbook to learn theoretical and practical foundations of some physico-chemical methods of analysis as well as to perform research projects. The advantage of such students’ work is that research work is carried out in real-life environment, and ecological condition of the objects concerned can be estimated and students have opportunity to get profound knowledge about future job. The article presents two research projects “Analysis of snow cover in Tomsk” and “Quality determination of spring water in Tomsk” carried out by using the procedure from the textbook.
