Chemical engineer producing nano-carbon using a plasma torch, studying process conditions, and characterizing the product using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy.

The main goal was to produce Nano-Carbon using Plasma torch, to find out the conditions.
Study properties of product using:
- X ray diffraction;
- Scanning Electronic Microscope;
- Infrared Spectroscopy.

The main task was purification of Nanodiamonds (ND).
This technology implies to use:
- acids and bases: HCl, KOH, HF;
- ultrasonic equipment;
- annealing.
During this procedure we could get 8% of 4-6nm size of ND that were studied by Dynamic light scattering.

The main disciplines:

- Methods of studying the structure and physical properties of substances
- Chemical and phase equilibria in multicomponent systems
- Automated information systems in science and education
- Quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry
- Crystallography
- Physical and chemical processes in nanoscale systems
- Physicochemistry of carbon nanoparticles
- X-ray diffraction researc

Studied methods to analyze the structure and physical properties of substances, quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry, crystallography, and nanoscale physicochemistry, including X-ray diffraction research methods.

The main disciplines:

- Theory of chemical-technological processes of fine organic synthesis

- Chemistry and technology of organic dyes

- Fundamentals of design and equipment for organic synthesis enterprises

- Methods for the analysis of organic compounds

- Photochemistry

- Application of fine organic synthesis products

Studied chemical engineering fundamentals including fine organic synthesis process theory, chemistry and technology of organic dyes, analysis methods for organic compounds, and photochemistry.
