Every year, the last Sunday of May, chemists from Russia and the CIS celebrate their professional holiday - the Day of the Chemist. A group of scientists from Perm Tech proposed a method for processing laminated plastics to obtain carbon sorbents. They can be used to purify wastewater from dissolved petroleum products and toxic compounds. According to the researchers, a lot of polymer waste is generated every year in the world. In particular, in Russia in 2018 the number amounted to more than 3.5 million tons, and about 12% was processed.

 The scientists published the results of the research in the "Ecology and Industry of Russia" journals and the "Sorbtsionnye i Khromatograficheskie Protsessy" journal

Today, about 50% of Russian and 50-60% of the world's deposits belong to deposits, reserves from which are difficult to extract. Scientists from Perm Tech and Curtin University (Perth, Australia) have developed a technology to assess the potential of fractured oil reservoirs - natural "arteries" through which hydrocarbons is being passed. The technique will be able to determine the parameters of fractures for effective oil production from low-permeability formations quickly and inexpensively.

Now in Russia there is a large-sized scrap metal processed manually. This is dangerous: welders and enchasers get injured and burned,and suffer from toxins. Perm Tech scientists are creating a robot that will allow to recycling metals without harm to human health. The innovative plasma torch will help to cut materials of any configuration and dispose them even from hard-to-reach areas.

Perm Tech future specialists are trained for their professional activities using innovation technologies!

Scientists from Perm Tech together with colleagues from India developed a unique technology that will increase the efficiency of the complex metal unit production for aircraft and missiles using casting technologies. Parts with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, obtained using burnout casting, are now in high demand. The development helped to increase the accuracy and quality of 3D printing of prototypes, which made it possible to increase the economic efficiency of the technology by 34%.

Researchers from Perm Tech have developed a prototype of a robot that will track the state of fire-hazardous oil and gas pipelines. Due to its unique shape, it will be able to "penetrate" into complex curved pipe sections, identify damage of any complexity and assess the level of corrosion.

By 2020, there are 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste that have been accumulated worldwide, including non-working electrical devices and smartphones. A young researcher from Perm Tech developed a method for abstracting rare and expensive metals from monitors and screens, which has no analogues in the world.

Scientists from the Perm Tech have created a project for a device for automatical histological analysis. The development will make it possible to identify cellular pathologies, including oncopathology, in humans and animals promptly. In the future, the device will be able to produce the actions faster and cheaper than it is performed now by several technicians. Researchers conducted a series of experiments that showed an accuracy of disease recognition of up to 92%.

Scientists of the Perm Tech have created a mathematical model of an installation for underwater launching of space rockets. This method will help to probe the Earth without harm to the environment. The rocket engines will start the engine at a safe distance from its surface. The researchers provided detailed calculations for the first time.
