Development of theoretical and practical research within the framework of scientific field «Development of physico-chemical foundation of high-temperature processes in ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy»: solving problems of complex processing of titanium-containing, iron-chromium-nickel, siderite, alumina-containing ores; development of physical and chemical bases and technological schemes for complex processing, polymetallic ores and technogenic materials with obtaining products with desired properties; development of the theory of coagulation of metal phases in oxide matrices, the study of the conditions for the formation of environmentally hazardous compounds such as nitrogen oxides, furans, dioxins: the search for ways to reduce their content in pyrometallurgical processes.
- developed theoretical basis of energy and resource-saving technologies of complex ores, containing iron, vanadium, titanium, chromium, nickel, aluminum, magnesium and other components;
- made research on the processing of metal phases in oxide matrices; researched conditions for the formation of environmentally dangerous compounds such as nitrogen oxides, furans, dioxins, and explained the parameters of metallurgical processes that minimize their formation during the processing of toxic materials;
- suggested universal technology for processing technogenic, household, medical, and chemical hazardous waste using pyrometallurgical processes, which underwent a preliminary technico-economic study at MetProm-Proekt LLC.
