Description: 
In the field of nitrogen and nitrogen compounds, the Institute's 
staff has studied nitrous and nitric oxides, ammonia, and fertilizers. In 
connection with its work on organic synthesis, this institute has investi- 
gated the production of caprolactam through photosynthesis, the production 
of polyamide fibers, the gasification of heavy petroleum residues, and the 
pyrolysis of methane for the production of acetylene and carbamide for 
nitrogen plants. The Institute also studies properties of hydrocarbons, 
especially the corrosion of metals by hydrocarbons, the diffusion of gases, 
and catalysts for the conversion of gases. 
The Institute has a remote-controlled transmitter camera that makes 
possible transmission of instrument readings. It designed the first nitrate 
fertilizer plant in the Belorussian S.S.R. The plant will be located in 
Grodno. 
The Institute has two divisions, one for research and development, 
the other for design. It has branches at Chirchik, Dzerzhinsk, and 
Lisichansk. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy and grants the Candidate's Degree.
