New Catalytic Materials and Technologies of
their Synthesis

• Complex framework zirconium phosphates
• (ultradispersed/dense)
• Advantages
• New efficient methods of designed synthesis via
  soft mechanochemistry
• broad variation of acid-base, red-ox, transport
  and thermal expansion properties
• Radiation stability and ultra-low solubility
• Poisons and coking resistance

• Supermicroporous catalysts and adsorbents based
  upon Zirconia Pillared Clays
• Advantages
• Template-free synthesis
• High thermal (up to 800oC) and hydrothermal
  stability
• Free access of bulky molecules into galleries
• 10 A
• Loading of variety of active components on
  pillars
• Shaping as bulk or supported monolithic catalysts

New Catalytic Materials and Technologiesof their
Synthesis

• Cermets as catalysts for high -heat -flux
  processes
•  Advantages
• Controlled synthesis via hydrothermal treatment
  or anodic spark oxidation of Al in a variety of
  shapes
• Developed easily tuned pore structure
• High thermal conductivity, mechanical strength
• Free reagents access to encapsulated active
  components

• Ultradispersed perovskites and Ceria-based
  fluorite-like complex oxides as catalysts for
  high-temperature red-ox processes
•  Advantages
• Phase-pure oxides synthesis via mechanochemistry
  and complex polymerized precursors
• Tuned red-ox properties, phase stability and
  high oxygen mobility
• Variety of shapes (monoliths)

Applications of Materials and Technologies

• Zirconia Pillared Clays
• Petrochemistry (alkylation, cracking, fuels
  upgrading), environment protection (de-NOx for
  diesel exhausts, adsorbents, etc)- instead of
  large-pore zeolites
• Complex framework zirconium phosphates
• Petrochemistry, selective oxidation of
  hydrocarbons, environment protection, energy
  generation, radio waste processing, chemical
  weapons destruction

7
Applications of Materials and Technologies

• Cermets
• Environment protection, hydrogen and syn-gas
  generation, fuels synthesis, combustion of
  biofuels
• Ultradispersed fluorite- and perovskite-like
  oxides
• Energy production, basic chemical industry,
  hydrogen and syngas generation, fuel cells,
  environmental protection

Cooperation we are looking for

• Up-scaling and development of new
  materials/catalysts manufacturing technology to
  the pilot-industrial level up-scaling of
  related technologies based upon application of
  those new catalysts/materials, pilot and field
  tests commercialization
• Forms of cooperation via ISTC projects or
  directly
