the direct catalytic oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to elementary sulfur both in
fluidized bed and on a monolith catalyst.Commercial production of a series of
catalytic heaters and appliances was organized using the results of his persistant
R&D activities in the field of catalytic combustion.
IVANOV Aleksei Alekseevich, candidate of chemical sciences
Head of the Laboratory of Kinetics and Processes in the Fluidized Bed.
Aleksey A. Ivanov contributed significantly to the studies of catalysts and processes to
oxidize sulfur dioxide and aromatic compounds. He investigates the mechanism of
catalyst action and catalysis under unsteady-state conditions. Aleksey A. Ivanov has
developed a physico-chemical and mathematical concept to control the effective
nonstationary state of catalysts in catalytic oxidation. He has developed the
transition response techniques to study reactions and detailed mechanisms of a
series of industrial catalytic processes such as sulfur dioxide oxidation, o-xylene
oxidation to phthalic anhydride.
KERZHENTSEV Mikhail Anatolyevich, candidate of chemical sciences (1979)
Head of the Group of Processes for Direct Catalytic Oxidation of
Hydrogen Sulfide
Mikhail A. Kerzhentsev is an expert in the catalytic combustion, oxidative heterogeneous
catalysis using catalysis for environmental protection. His research activities include
the study of kinetics of complete oxidation of various organic compounds over
solid catalysts, fluidized bed catalytic combustion of organic compounds and
wastes, development of catalysts and processes for the direct oxidation of hydrogen
sulfide to elemental sulfur.
KHASIN Aleksandr Viktorovich doctor of chemical sciences (1989)
Leader of the Group of Oxidation on Metals.
Aleksandr V. Khasin investigates the isotope exchange of oxygen and nitrogen, ammonia
synthesis, reaction of nitric oxide with carbon monoxide, hydrogen and ethylene
oxidation over metals. He gave a quantitative analysis of the kinetics of oxygen
isotope exchange on silver and that of nitrogen on iron. He also determined the ratio
between the rates of nitrogen isotope exchange and ammonia synthesis, which
permitted to predict the synthesis rate using the isotope exchange data. He
investigated the regulations and simulated quantitatively the catalytic ethylene
oxidation on silver.
KIRILLOV Valerii Aleksandrovich, doctor of technical sciences (1986)
Professor (1991)
Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Modeling of Multiphase
Processes.
Valeriy A. Kirillov is engaged in the mathematical simulations of chemical reactors; studies
on hydrodynamics of multiphase fluids, phenomena of heat and mass transfer upon
chemical and phase conversions and application of catalysis to ecology and power
engineering. Prof. Kirillov has developed the theory of simultaneous processes of
