As part of the "Science for the Benefit of Society" initiative by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the scientific work and achievements of Mukhametkali Matayev, Doctor of Chemical Sciences and Professor at the Kazakh National Women's Teacher Training University, are highlighted in detail.
Mukhametkali Musagaliyevich graduated with honors from the Faculty of Chemistry at Karaganda State University (named after E.A. Buketov) in 1985 and completed a scientific internship at Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1991.
He defended his candidate dissertation in 1995 and his doctoral dissertation in 2010; he was awarded the title of Associate Professor in 2002 and Professor in 2018, and in 2021, he was elected an Academician of the National Academy of Mining Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The professor’s scientific activities focus on the synthesis of new functional materials and the development of innovative technologies for the uranium mining sector. His research bridges fundamental science and industrial practice, aiming to enhance economic efficiency and technological safety.
Technologies patented by the scientist are currently successfully applied in production, increasing the productivity of uranium mining wells by 20–30 percent and reducing reagent consumption. Currently, under project AP26198947 for 2025–2027, the scientist is studying the properties of multicomponent perovskites. Additionally, he is involved in a commercialization project to implement a mobile unit for the chemical treatment of wells in in-situ leaching uranium mining environments.
This project is designed to transform scientific results into tangible industrial products and strengthen the link between science and industry. The author of over 100 scientific publications, Mukhametkali Matayev continues to contribute significantly to the development of the national chemical school and the training of future scholars.
