Gubkin Researchers at the 7th All-Russian School-Conference on Catalysis with International Participation, "Catalytic Design: From Molecular Research to Practical Implementation"

From August 18 to 24, 2025, the 7th All-Russian School-Conference on Catalysis with International Participation, "Catalytic Design: From Molecular Research to Practical Implementation," was held in Novosibirsk.

The conference was organized by the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The school-conference brought together young scientists, graduate students, and undergraduates from across the country, working in various fields of catalysis research. Catalysis is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field designed to rapidly address the challenges of new chemical technologies. This event introduced students to modern approaches to the application of innovative technologies and the fundamental principles of catalysis. Lectures by leading scientists focused on the latest advances in the fundamentals of preparing, characterizing, and modeling new catalysts, catalytic systems, and processes. The conference included 11 plenary lectures, 30 oral presentations, and 35 poster presentations.

Gubkin University was represented at the conference by Alexander Glotov, PhD, Head of the Laboratory of Nanostructured Materials and Catalytic Processes for Processing Carbon-Containing Raw Materials; Gleb Zasypalov, PhD, Junior Researcher at the Laboratory of Nanostructured Materials and Catalytic Processes for Processing Carbon-Containing Raw Materials; and Egor Abramov, Vladimir Klimovsky, and Lyubov Zatsepina, members of the Student Scientific Society.

Alexander Glotov delivered a plenary lecture on "Design of Nanostructured Catalysts Based on Natural and Synthetic Aluminosilicates."

Gleb Zasypalov presented an oral presentation in the Catalysis for Gas and Petrochemicals and Fine Organic Synthesis section on "Hydrodeoxygenation of Bio-Oil Components in the Presence of Micro- and Mesoporous Zeolite-Containing Catalysts."

Egor Abramov presented a poster presentation in the Catalysis for Gas and Petrochemicals and Fine Organic Synthesis section on "Pt-Pd Catalysts Based on Nanostructured Silicas of the M41S Family and AI-M41S Aluminosilicates for the Hydrogenation of Naphthalene and 1-Methylnaphthalene." Vladimir Klimovsky presented an oral report in the Catalysis for Gas and Petrochemicals and Fine Organic Synthesis section on "Nanostructured Ru-Containing Catalysts Based on MCM-41 Mesoporous Silica and Halloysite Nanotubes for the Selective Hydrogenation of Benzene in Reforming Gasoline." Lyubov Zatsepina presented an oral report in the Catalyst Preparation section on "A Pt Catalyst Based on Hierarchical Silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-31 for Hydroisodewaxing of Diesel Fuel." The students' scientific advisor was Alexander Glotov, PhD, Head of the Laboratory of Nanostructured Materials and Catalytic Processes for Processing Carbon-Containing Feedstocks.

All of the above reports are presented in the collection of abstracts of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Federal Research Center "G.K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences."

Members of the Gubkin University Student Scientific Society at external venues are represented through a federal budget subsidy to higher education institutions for the implementation of activities aimed at supporting student scientific communities. This program, titled "Uniting Science: From Popularization to Practice," is part of the university's student scientific society development program.
