Over 40 disciplines are taught at the Department. They are taught by Associate Professors, Professors, Assistant Professors, and Assistants. The Department consists of two Professors, seven Associate Professors, one Assistant Professor, and two Assistants.

Research Activities

Scientific work of the Faculty, postgraduate students, and Master’s degree students include:

• Scientific fundamentals, technology, and techniques of thermochemical decomposition processes of biomass (A.N. Grachev).
• Torrefaction (low-temperature destruction). Preparation (modification) of wood filler for wood-polymer composite materials (A.N. Grachev, A.A. Makarov, R.M. Khaziakhmedova);
• Fast pyrolysis of low-quality wood, agricultural waste and other organic materials to obtain coal residue and liquid pyrolysis products (V.N. Bashkirov, M.F. Gilfanov);
• Fast pyrolysis as a method of railway sleepers recycling and some other organic wastes. (A.N. Grachev, A.A. Makarov, G.M. Bikbulatova);
• Liquid products of fast pyrolysis as a component in road construction (A.N. Grachev, G.M. Bikbulatova);
• Variations of fractional separation of pyrolysis liquid (A.N. Grachev, S.A. Zabelkin, A.I. Valiullina, A.R. Valeeva);
• Separation of individual components of pyrolysis liquid as a product or feedstock for its further usage: 1) for synthesizing synthetic (phenol-formaldehyde) resins. (A.N. Grachev, A.R. Valeeva, S.A. Zabelkin); 2) as a polyol component in the polyurethane synthesis (A.N. Grachev, A.I. Valiullina); 3) as a fuel (A.N. Grachev, S.A. Zabelkin).
