My developments have been implemented in chemical industry, metallurgy, engineering, food processing and pharmaceutical industry.

I also deliver lectures and have supervised work on 20 successful Ph.D. theses.

Systems approach has been my major tool that I am perfecting for purposes of technical designing, upgrading chemical processes, development of environmental equipment, separation reactors, block-and-module topologies for adaptable apparatuses, gas-liquid reactors with multiple phase inversion, and liquid-solid chemical and biological reactors.

More recently, strategy and tactics for cleaner production, and theory and practice of sustainable development have become my areas of interest.

Environmentally conscious processes were developed for fluid purification, aerosol application in painting, agriculture and pollution abatement, and removal of submicron particles from liquids.

My research has resulted in more than 270 inventions for a variety of processes and products many of which were commercialized in the former USSR. Several of my developments were protected by patents of France, Germany and Japan.

Through the application of systems approach to chemical engineering, some important ways to cleaner production and pollution prevention were found. These include: (i) minimizing treatment time and excess of one reagent over the other; (ii) combining synthesis with separation via heterogenization; (iii) adaptive processes and apparatuses.
