Located in an important oil-producing region of the Soviet Union, 
the University is concerned with problems of petroleum production and 
petroleum chemistry. Past research investigations have included character- 
istics of catalytically cracked gasoline, catalytic refining of lubricating 
oils, alkylation of anthracene oil, breaking up of emulsions of different 
petroleums, dielectric properties of oil and oil products, and solid hydro- 
carbons in oil fractions. Related studies include dehydrogenation of 
benzene-dialkyl derivatives, hydration of ethylene, production of polymers 
from petroleum waste, alkylation of naphthalene and phenanthrene, and
