Method for converting brown coals, including leonardite, into humic fertilizers and fuel briquettes, comprising first grinding the raw material to less than 3 mm and subsequently treating it with water or water solutions, using liquid-phase mechanoactivation and/or mechanochemical activation, with a duty of water curve ranging from 0.9 to 2.5 and with reaction composition dispersion by chafing and dynamic shift by exposing the medium to a hydraulic impulse of sonic and infrasonic frequencies, by metered introduction of 10 to 40 MJ per cubic meter of mechanical energy, with automatic limitation of the energy in the sub-cavitation area for preventing the mechanochemical reactors from falling into cavitation modes; the method further comprises separation of converted suspension compositions into solid and liquid phases in the centrifugal force field, optionally acidizing the liquid phase with the withdrawal of humic acids from the liquid phase to the heavy phase and recycling of residual water.

A method/shirt cutting jig for converting a textile into yarn comprises mounting a tubular body of a textile on the jig's base, securing a first folded edge of the tubular body using a clamping bar and securing the second folded edge of the tubular body using a clamping panel. The clamping panel includes teeth that allow a user of the jig to cut the tubular body into strips of material fully past the second folded edge. A movable cutting fence enables the user to cut the tubular body into multiple strips of material, but where each cut does not extend fully past the tubular body's first folded edge. The tubular body with the cuts is removed from the jig and then manually cut in a diagonal pattern along its first folded edge to produce a single strip of material that is then easily converted into reusable yarn.

An aqueous modified acid composition for industrial activities, said composition comprising: an alkanolamine and strong acid in a molar ratio of not less than 1:15, preferably not less than 1:10; it can also further comprise a metal iodide or iodate. Said composition demonstrates advantages over known conventional acids and modified acids.

The present invention relates to a method for inducing ground consolidation. The method comprises providing a first chamber in a first hole in the ground, and a second chamber in a second hole in the ground, the first and second chambers being liquid-impermeable and electrically conductive; providing a first electrolytic fluid in the first chamber and a second electrolytic fluid in the second chamber; placing at least a first electrode in the first chamber, and at least a second electrode in the second chamber, the first and second electrodes being operatively connected to a power supply; feeding consolidation fluids into the ground for feeding reactants of a consolidation process, and catalysers for the reactants into the ground; and applying to the first and second electrodes an electric current. The current causes the first electrode to operate as an anode and the second electrode to operate as a cathode thereby inducing electric polarization in the ground to cause the reactants and catalysers to cross paths to thereby cause consolidation of the ground.
