Chemistry as a basis for solving environmental issues
- Authors:
- V. E. Kogan
- T. S. Shakhparonova
The article summarizes over 40 years of authors’ experience in the field of physical chemistry and chemical technology of glassy state of materials. It is shown that environmental issues are caused not by Chemistry as a science but by actions of ecologically illiterate humans using its advances. It is noted that without chemistry humankind cannot live comfortably and solve existing environmental problems. In support these facts we describe several developments made by authors of this article in energy industry, high temperature machinery, glass production technology, glassy phosphate fertilizers, production of non-waste systems and complex research of physical-chemical principles of glassy oil sorbents production of organic and non-organic nature.

Inorganic and organic vitreous foam materials and prospect of environmental cleaning from oil and oil products pollutions
- Authors:
- V. E. Kogan
The analysis of own experimental materials which are part of the new scientific direction – complex research of physical and chemical regularities of novel inorganic and organic vitreous sorbents and investigation of the oil and oil products absorption processes by that sorbents developed on department of the General and Physical Chemistry of National Mineral Resources University (Mining University) under the leadership of the author of this paper is provided. In particular, specifics of kinetic curves of oil absorption for sorbents with a vitreous surface are experimentally established and theoretically proved by the conducted researches.
