A prototype catalyst based on bentonite clay has been created at NSU.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

NSU scientists have created a prototype catalyst based on bentonite clay, which will find application in organic synthesis, specifically in catalyzing alkylation reactions, and potentially in refining petroleum products and vegetable oils. The high surface acidity and accessibility of the catalyst's acid sites improve product yields and selectivity for specific compounds in alkylation reactions, while also increasing purification efficiency and the catalyst's service life in refining petroleum products and vegetable oils. The developed catalyst will be an alternative to more expensive foreign analogues, the supply of which is currently difficult. The project won a grant from the federal "Student Startup" competition.

Bentonite is a natural clay mineral that swells 14-16 times upon hydration. This results in the formation of a dense gel that prevents further moisture penetration. Its high adsorption capacity, plasticity, chemical resistance, and ability to form viscous solutions make it indispensable in industrial production, construction, and many other industries.

Currently, there is no similar domestically produced catalyst for fine organic synthesis on the Russian market. Foreign-made analogues exist, but they are quite expensive and difficult to source. However, our country has an excellent raw material base for producing this catalyst—estimated reserves of bentonite clay in Russia amount to over 340 million tons. There is also strong demand from industrial enterprises, including those involved in the purification of petroleum products and vegetable oils from unwanted impurities.

"The product we're developing will not only match foreign analogues in terms of properties, but will even surpass them in some respects: for example, it will have an extended service life thanks to its regeneration capability (the ability to calcinate with virtually complete restoration of the activated clay's original properties). We're creating an affordable, stable, and highly active catalyst based on an inexpensive raw material—bentonite clay—by modifying it. We're implementing modification in three ways: increasing porosity (the number of voids in the material available for reaction); increasing the number of acidic sites, which are the key catalytic site; and introducing additional catalytically active sites by growing "pillars" of Al and Zr oxides between the clay layers. The combination of these approaches will ensure high activity and stability of the resulting catalyst," explained Ramis Zhitkeev, project manager.

Ramis Zhitkeev, a fifth-year student at NSU's Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS), began working on the project about a year ago, alongside his thesis, under the guidance of his supervisor, PhD Artem Poryvaev. The project team also includes Alexander Efremov, a graduate student at NSU's FNS. Currently, a laboratory method for activating the initial clay has been developed, a prototype has been produced, and tests have been conducted in model chemical reactions. The team plans to further refine the prototype and move on to scaling it up.

The primary application of the material being developed is the purification of petroleum products from olefins, but it can also be used to catalyze alkylation reactions, which are fundamental in organic synthesis. The development of a catalyst for this application is the primary focus of the startup project.

"In the initial phase, we plan to produce small batches of the catalyst, so we're targeting research organizations and companies engaged in the production of micro- and small-scale chemicals. We then plan to scale up production to meet the needs of industrial segments that use acid-activated clays, specifically oil refineries. Most clays used have a relatively short service life, which opens up opportunities for the development and implementation of our technologies due to the regeneration capabilities of our product. Another potential application is the purification of vegetable oils, which faces similar challenges with the clays used," Ramis explained.

The team plans to use the grant funds to purchase reagents and equipment, launch a website, and lease premises. Ultimately, they plan to establish a large-scale production facility for high-tech acid-activated clays.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The city's "Day Without Turnstiles" project concluded its autumn season in Moscow. Around 2,800 people took part in free tours of Moscow businesses, research centers, and technology companies.

Try yourself in the profession

Moscow is building a sustainable ecosystem linking education, business, and careers. The "Day Without Turnstiles" project is a practical tool that enables the city to engage aspiring professionals in the technology sector. Young people can see how modern companies operate, interact with executives and engineers, and even try their hand at the profession.

"In September, more than 140 companies opened their doors to Muscovites, including over 30 for the first time. We conducted over 240 tours, attended by approximately 2,800 visitors. 'Turnstile-Free Day' introduces city residents to modern businesses and helps young people take their first steps in their careers," she noted.

Kristina Kostroma, Head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of Moscow.

The team at Russian technology company Selectel provided guests with a full immersion into the workings of a major IT infrastructure provider. During a tour of the data center, employees demonstrated how the engineering systems operate and how service continuity is ensured. A company presentation, an interactive fact-finding game, and an informal introduction to the team were held in the office.

Tours of enterprises

For the first time, the tours were led by young entrepreneurs, participants in the Moscow Mayor's "Moscow Innovator" competition.

Klimbiotech showed guests its scientific space—a selection and technology complex—and demonstrated the operation of climate-controlled laboratory chambers. Participants asked specific questions about the chambers and speedbreeding technology. They were interested in how to move from an idea to its implementation, what challenges the team faced at the start, what support tools helped them develop, and how the team found its niche at the intersection of biology, IT, and engineering.

NFCKEY specialists shared the company's history, then the participants toured the production facility and learned about NFC technology, which allows for the exchange of data between devices over very short distances. Finally, the guests took a test drive: they downloaded the app, accessed the office lock, and tried opening it with a tap of their phone.

In addition, residents of the capital viewed test systems for medicine and agriculture, learned about metalworking technologies, learned about innovative developments in the automotive sector, and visited a gas transportation company, development companies, and technology parks.

Receive an internship invitation

The excursions included professional auditions, meetings with executives, master classes, case studies, and presentations of company career opportunities. Interested participants were able to showcase their skills, demonstrate their motivation, receive an internship offer, and discuss job prospects.

An engineering and technology company producing auto parts, components, and machine tools became the leader in recruiting young specialists.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Regular river electric boats, like all city transport, are currently undergoing mandatory winter preparations to ensure comfortable and safe river travel. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"We are currently preparing our river electric vessels for the cold season, following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions. Regular river electric transport avoids congestion and is unaffected by weather conditions, running on schedule year-round. Thanks to their reinforced hulls, the vessels can navigate through finely broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick, and we always maintain a comfortable temperature at the piers and inside the vessels. Thanks to these alternative routes, Muscovites can save up to 30-40 minutes on travel," noted Maxim Liksutov.

Electric vessels are tested for heating and ventilation systems, as well as automatic doors and ramps. This type of vessel has a reinforced hull and an "ice-20" rating, allowing it to navigate through finely broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick.

During winter, icebreaker support is provided on river routes. Before winter, heating and ventilation systems are checked at piers, and the necessary equipment for clearing snow, ice, and icicles is ensured. Special attention is paid to the anti-icing systems installed at moorings to prevent ice from forming on the hull of the floating pier and the surrounding waters.

Buoys with reinforced hulls are installed along the Moscow River for navigation along the routes. These buoys have a special shape that allows them to function in icy conditions.

In addition, crews undergo additional training on occupational health and safety and transport safety in connection with deteriorating weather conditions, and are also provided with winter uniforms.

Since the beginning of 2025, passengers have taken over 1.1 million trips on year-round electric vessels. This figure represents a more than 20 percent increase compared to last year. Winter rates are in effect on regular river electric transport until April 30. More information on fares, schedules, and routes is available atwebsite.
