The laboratory was found in November 1, 1981 and primarily was named as the laboratory of catalytic refining. Dr. Alexander Anshits from Novosibirsk SB RAS Catalysis Institute (Siberian Branch of USSR Academy of Sciences at that time) was invited to be the head of the laboratory. Young scientists – S. S. Vereshchagin, A. A. Dubkov, L. I. Kurteeva went with him to Krasnoyarsk. Later on more scientists from Novosibirsk came: N. P. Kirik, A. N. Shigapov, V. N. Shevnin, G. B. Shevnina, A. R. Suzdorf, T. A. Vereshchagina, N. N. Anshits, and E. V. Kondratenko.

Laboratory of Catalytic Transformations of Small Molecules


Laboratory Primary Research Interests:
  • Creation of new types of microspherical materials with given morphology and structure for adsorption, diffusion-sorption and catalytic use.
  • Development of the scientific basis for transformation and long-term storage of extratoxic substances (liquid radioactive waste, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
  • Development of new types of catalytic systems for oxidative coupling of methane.
Major Research Results for 2006-2008
  • Physicochemical analysis of iron-aluminosilicate systems corresponding to the microspheric components of coal fly ash. Three composition areas, where globule morphology is monotonically changing, were defined. Quantity, composition, crystallite size and magnetic characteristics of the ferrospinel phase were identified. Results of the thermodynamic analysis of microsphere phase composition agree with the experimental data.
  • A new method to synthesize microspherical zeolites with various structural types was developed on the basis of coal fly ash cenospheres.
  • The following microspherical materials were developed on the basis of coal fly ash cenospheres to immobilize and store liquid toxic and radioactive wastes: porous matrices, microspherical composite sorbents with active components such as the zeolites (NaP, NaA or NaX), ammonium molybdophosphate, Ni and Cu ferrocyanides, Zr phosphate. The produced sorbents were tested in liquid radioactive waste treatment and isolation in the Mining Chemical Combine.
Equipment
The laboratory owns the following equipment: catalytic units to study high temperature processes; high-speed surface area and pore size analyser (Nova3200e, USA); unique units of hydro- and aerodynamic classification of microspherical materials; autoclave for hydrothermal synthesis; laser particle analyzer (MicroTec 22, Fritsch, Germany). The Siberian Federal University equipment can also be used: TG-DTA/DSC 449 c/4 Jupiter simultaneous thermal analysis unit with working temperature from room temperature to 1500°Ñ coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer and impulse gas dosing system (NETZSCH-GERATEBAU GMBH, SELB, Germany); X’Pert Pro MRD PANalytical X-ray diffractometer (the Netherlands); Axio Imager” D1M and Axioskop 40À Pol optic microscopes for reflected, transmitted and polarized light applications (Carl Zeiss, Germany).
