Fifth international scientific conference “Sviridov’s Readings-2010” (Minsk, Republic of Belarus, April 6–9, 2010)

The author analyzes conference materials, emphasizing the studies and latest developments useful for industrial heterogeneous catalysis in view of the requirements of green chemistry . Industrial catalysts is developing along a nanometer scale , so especial attention is devoted to analyzing the reports in the Nanochemistry section on the creation of nanocatalysts, the production of active phase nanoparticles, and the formation of new synthesized material properties. The catalysts developed earlier by Russian research in cooperation with Belarusian scientists are considered, and it is shown that not only are expensive nanocontacts extremely promising for industry, but the efficient and economic low-percentage new generation of nanocatalysts synthesized by wet chemistry and containing nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of their support by a film of coating or metal complex modifiers are as well.
