On December 12th, 2018, the NUST MISIS branch in Almalyk (Uzbekistan) hosted the international scientific-practical conference “Problems, Solutions and Prospects for Development for Vanyukov`s Process”. The signing of a cooperative agreement between NUST MISIS and the Scientific-Research, Design & Engineering Institute of Mining & Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals took place at the conference.
In the early 1970s, the famous Russian scientist Andrey Vanyukov discovered a continuous way to process natural raw materials through a pyrometallurgical method followed by the production of liquid and gaseous products. This technology, later named after Vanyukov, has been widely used in the metallurgy of copper, lead, steel, and even the disposal of household waste ever since.
On December 12th, 2018, the NUST MISIS branch in Uzbekistan along with Almalyk MMC JSC hosted the international scientific-practical conference “Problems, Solutions and Prospects of Development for Vanyukov`s Process”.
More than 70 scientists and specialists from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China, and Germany took part in the conference.
At the end of the conference, a cooperative agreement in the field of science and technology was signed between NUST MISIS and the Scientific-Research, Design & Engineering Institute of Mining & Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals. Vadim Petrov, the NUST MISIS Vice-Rector of Educational Affairs, represented the university, while Igor Demidov, the General Director, represented the Scientific-Research, Design & Engineering Institute of Mining & Metallurgy of Non-Ferrous Metals.
