Did you try
chunk['Кол-во'] = pd.core.series.Series([np.float64(x.strip().replace(',','.')) for x in chunk['Кол-во']])
?

— Yes

— I did

— I thought of it

— It didn't help

— So do you think it has something to do with incompatibility of types?

— I think you can't do that without loops

— Really?

— How do u even suppose to do it without loops?

— Magic?

— So there are cells but some of them contains only whitespaces and you want to clear them?
