The laboratory of catalytic processing of renewables was established in 2008 after the merger of the Group of catalytic technologies for the carbon materials synthesis (headed by Vadim Yakovlev, PhD) and the Group of catalytic processing of solid fuels and waste (headed by Alexander Simonov, PhD).
Initially, the main research areas of the laboratory included the development of catalysts for hydrofining natural oxygenates to obtain components of biofuels, the development of approaches to obtain nanostructured carbon materials from biomass and the development of combustion processes of substandard hydrocarbon fuel in a fluidized bed of deep oxidation catalysts.
Now, more than 10 years later, not only the main scientific directions have been developed, but some new ones have been added, mainly related to the today’s demands of the Russian industry.
Currently, the laboratory consists of 22 employees: one Doctor of Science, 12 PhDs, 2 graduate students and 2 students (by the beginning of 2019).
Today, the key areas of interest in the laboratory include:
