Text Box: Department of Organic Synthesis and Fuels

 

 

 

 

 

Department of Organic Synthesis and Fuels is established to promote the advancement of Organic synthesis and Fuels science through education and research. Education and research activities in the Department are differentiated in two self-dependent modules – Organic Synthesis and Fuels.

 

Department of Organic Synthesis and Fuels teaches undergraduate students in both Baccalaureate academic degree (specialty of Organic Chemistry Technologies) and Master of Science academic degree on the specialties of Fine Organic Synthesis and Fossil, Natural and Synthetic Fuels. Among other Department activities is the development of individual and cooperative research projects leading to Ph.D. and Doctor of Sciences degrees.

 

 

 

·        Under the education of the Organic Synthesis module the STUDENTS become EXPERTS in the field of organic products synthesis, applicable as biologically active compounds (pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, pesticides, vitamins etc.), colored and luminescent monomers, polymers and dendrimers, photostabilizers, antioxidants, fragrances and detergents, as well as organic compounds for use in high technologies (molecular machines and devices, fluorescent sensors, biomarkers, liquid crystal displays) etc.

      Fluorescent dendrimers

 

 

 

 

                 Antioxidants

 

 

 

 

                                          UV – absorbers                                                                               

 

 

 

 

·        Under the education of the Fuels module the STUDENTS become EXPERTS in the field of the processing of petroleum, gases and solid combustibles into more than 2000 products (fuels, lubricants and additives, petrochemicals etc.), and how they are used effectively in energy production and in transportation, or what qualities they should have as raw materials for production of high molecular mass compounds, raw materials or for organic synthesis etc.

              Petroleum fragmentation

Crude oil is separated into fractions by fractional distillation. The fractionating column is cooler at the top than at the bottom so the vapours can condense more easily while moving up the column. The heavier fractions that emerge from the bottom of the fractionating column are often broken up (cracked) to make more useful products.
