A research team led by Zhanar Iliyasovna Tursyn, PhD and Acting Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry of the Kazakh National Women's Teacher Training University, has won a grant in the scientific and innovation project competition organized by the Almaty City Akimat.
The competition aims to support promising scientific developments and facilitate their introduction into production. This year, 221 applications were submitted, with 23 projects selected for the final round.
The research team's project, "CLEAN AIR: Manganese-Based Ternary Nanocomposite Technology for Automotive Exhaust Gas Purification," aims to improve the environmental conditions of the metropolis, particularly by enhancing air quality.
The project focuses on reducing harmful emissions through the use of replaceable manganese-based catalytic filters designed for older vehicles. The technology features modular cartridges that can be easily replaced once their service life expires. Pilot testing in cooperation with industrial partners is planned for the next stage.
The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities; and SDG 13 – Climate Action. The project aims to contribute to the development of domestic green technologies and improve environmental safety in urban areas.
We congratulate Zhanar Iliyasovna and her research team on this achievement and wish them continued success in their scientific endeavors!
