As explained by senior researcher Mikhail Golovin, the new material combines an organic polymer and iron oxide. Such a combination has a synergistic effect that exceeds the simple amount of the properties of individual components. All raw materials for a catalyst production are available in Russia and are characterized at low cost.
Technology has already been studied under laboratory conditions and is ready for the scale for industrial use. The synthesis of organic substances in pharmaceuticals can be used for the production of aromas for cosmetics and the creation of plasticizers for polymeric materials.
An important advantage of development is the possibility of abandoning traditional methods that require strict conditions and toxic reagents.
