Head of Division Prof. Oleg G.Usyarov

Main activity of the Division is carrying out of fundamental research in colloid chemistry, soil science, agrochemistry and soil protection. Within the framework of this scientific direction the study of influence of surface forces on polymolecular adsorption and interrelation of ion adsorption in double layers with coagulation of disperse systems has been carrying out.

In the Division of Environmental Chemistry the great attention is given to development of mathematical models, enabling to forecast the root nutrition and pollution dynamics in the soils. They include the modeling of radioactive substances transfer in a "soil-vegetation-atmosphere" system as well as the development of the safe technologies which permit to guarantee the environment protection in the process of powders salvaging, explosive substances and ammunition remaking. Some of these activities are carried out within the framework of the projects of the International Technological Centre directed on the solution of problems of conversion and liquidation of arms race consequences.
