Abstract The purpose of this article is an attempt to substantiate the possibility of using a new technology for cleaning the industrial atmosphere in a separate workshop of the Taldykorgan battery plant "Kainar AKB", which produces, in particular, powerful batteries for K–700 tractors for agriculture. The innovative technology of air purification proposed by us in the technosphere of the manufacture of batteries for the agricultural production complex is based on the use of transport ion-conducting properties of solid electrolytes made of stabilized zirconium dioxide. The traditional methods of industrial atmosphere purification in enterprises and factories known to us, in our opinion, are morally outdated in terms of bulky external dimensions, noise generation, and need for systematic maintenance. The installation developed by us from a superionic conductor is devoid of these disadvantages, it is low-inertia, does not create a noise effect, compact and small-sized. Our ion conducting solid electrolyte is a ceramic material in the form of pipes, test tubes, tablets, initially containing impurity cations of lower valence, such as calcium, yttrium, scandium, in comparison with zirconium. Actually, these impurity cations create the presence of vacancies or holes in the solid cubic structure of zirconium dioxide. Only oxygen anions will be transported through these vacancies under the effect of external factors, high temperature, and DC electric field. The research method is based on the measurement of the electromotive force, which is recorded at the boundary section: air/superionic/air, which is uniquely mathematically related to oxygen concentration in air stream.
