construction of the high-frequency ozone generator with
adiabatic cooling (by Joule – Thomson Method). This
idea has appeared in the literature many times, but the
authors (Shapiro S.V. and Amirkhanov A.Sh. from Ufa
state service institute) have successfully utilized this
method of the reaction gases cooling.
Many very interesting reports were presented in the
second section of the Conference. This section focused on
the intensification of hydrometallurgical processes by
means of ozone (the investigation of L.N. Krylova and
colleagues –Moscow state institute of Steel and Alloys),
the successful application of ozone in the processes of
gaseous fuel combustion by research by Ukraine
scientists, and a number of reports on ozone application
in biochemistry for the synthesis of new compounds. This
research was presented by Bashkortostan chemists. It is
necessary to note the high professional level of these
investigations. Great attention was attracted to the report
of Ph.D. V.V.Timofeev (Chemistry Department of M.V.
Lomonosov Moscow State University) on ozone
reactions with organic compounds in the supercritical
carbon dioxide region. Oxidation processes under these
conditions were shown to occur through the modified
mechanism. The author noted the high selectivity, good
yield of the products. It allows the production of organic
isocyanates.
Among the applied research of this section, it is necessary
to note the thorough report of Moscow and Tomsk
scientists (the lecturer A. Golubkovich) concerned with
ozone – air mixtures application in the process of the
grain drying. The technology is introduced into practice.
It allows a power reduction of 20% and shortening the
drying duration time to one third in comparison with the
air.
The third section included a number of clearly scientific
reports (reports of I.M. Piskarev, G.S. Stolyarenko and
G.I. Rogozhkin). The last author proposed the
nontraditional method of the quantitative evaluation of
the kinetics and the effectiveness of water ozonation. In
particular, it focused on the concept of ozone dose.
The report by V.L. Budovich and E.B. Polotnuyk on
indoors air ozonation led to lively discussion for and
against the concept. The authors emphasized that in this
case ozone application is accompanied by the number of

concurrent effects, so the every individual case should be
investigated specially.
A resolution was made on the creation of Russian Fund
“Ozone Society”- Association “Ozone and Other
Environment Friendly Oxidants. Science and
Technologies during the general meeting of the
participants on the 7th of June. About 45 regions of the
Russian Federation will be presented in the Fund.
Academician of RAN, Prof. Valery V. Lunin was elected
as the President of the Association. Vice- presidents are
Ph.D. Vadim G. Samoilovoch, Dr. Sergei N. Tkachenko,
and Prof. Stanislav D. Razumovskii’. The central office of
the Association will be in the Chemistry Department of
Moscow State University.
The Proceedings of the Conference were published as
collected articles in Russian (Publishing house-“Knizhnii’
dom universitet”, 2005). Details on the conference and
the proceedings can be found on the conference website
(see below).
The next Workshop (28th) will be held June 7-8, 2006.
