Laboratory of Catalysis

Laboratory of Catalysis
Laboratory of Catalysis was established in 1975. Currently, it is built up of 7 employees: the head of the Laboratory (PhD), 1 senior researcher (PhD), 2 junior researchers (PhD student and master), 3 laboratory assistants (master student and 2 bachelor students). The Lab is young: average age is 30 years old.
RESEARCH MAIN DIRECTIONS
•    Development and improvement of methods for producing highly effective catalysts for dehydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation, methane dry reforming, and deep oxidation of organic compounds.
•    The use of the methods of plasma-mechanochemistry, microwave radiation, and combustion modes to obtain highly efficient catalysts based on nanopowders.
•    Development of methods for obtaining highly efficient catalysts for flameless combustion of hydrocarbon fuel.
