University Students at the VI All-Russian Scientific Conference with International Participation “Levinter Readings. Hydrocarbon Processing. Comprehensive Solutions”

From October 13 to 17, 2026, Samara hosted the VI All-Russian Scientific Conference with International Participation “Levinter Readings. Hydrocarbon Processing. Comprehensive Solutions”, dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the birth of M.E. Levinter. The organizer was Samara State Technical University together with LLC PK YUST (the United Catalyst Technologies group of companies).

The event brought together representatives of the scientific community and industrial enterprises, including from Gubkin University, the G.K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lomonosov Moscow State University, RUDN University, and the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Welcoming remarks were delivered by Vladimir Tyshchenko, Head of the Department of Chemical Technology of Oil and Gas Processing at Samara State Technical University, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences.

The conference featured sections on catalytic processes in oil and gas refining, petrochemistry and gas chemistry, hydrogen energy, and the chemistry and technology of fuels. Gubkin University was represented at the event by members of the Student Scientific Society, students of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Ecology: Vladimir Arkhipov (group HE-24-10) with a presentation on “Dealumination of Halloysite Nanotubes as a Way to Increase the Acidity of the Support for Ru-Containing Guaiacol Hydrodeoxygenation Catalysts”, Sergey Karaush (group HT-23-06) with a poster on “Selection of a Component for a Bifunctional Diesel Fraction Hydroisodewaxing Catalyst: Comparison of Kaolin and Halloysite Nanotubes”, and Daniil Ekimenkov (group HTM-26-04) with a presentation on “Mesoporous Cr- and Pt/Sn-Containing Catalysts for Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane in the Presence of Carbon Dioxide”.

Based on the results of the conference, Daniil Ekimenkov took third place. The team’s scientific preparation was supervised by Alexander Glotov, Leading Researcher of the Department of Physical and Colloidal Chemistry, Candidate of Chemical Sciences.

The representation of members of the Student Scientific Society of Gubkin University at external venues is carried out within the framework of the University’s SSS development programme “Strategy of New Discoveries”.
