Biography
Alexandr G. Anshits graduated in chemistry at Novosibirsk State University (1971), has completed his PhD (1974) and Doctor of Chemistry (1992) in oxidation catalysis, Professor of physical chemistry (1994). Head of the laboratory catalytic conversion of small molecules (from1981), vice-director (from 2001) of the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology SB RAS, Krasnoyarsk. Under his supervision, methods for the separation of pure ferrospheres and cenospheres from fly ashes were developed. The composition‒structure‒property relationship was established for ferrospheres and cenospheres over a wide range of variations in their chemical composition. Effective microspherical functional materials for various fields of applications (highly selective microspherical membrane materials for the production of high-purity helium and hydrogen, catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane, cracking of heavy oil components, sensitizers of emulsion explosives, and highly effective composite sorbents for long-term isolation of radionuclides in mineral-like forms) were developed.
