Retracted articleThe cluster principle development in the world of electronics is one of the most effective examples of high-tech industry. The author considers the possibility of using clusters to modernize the Russian economy.
Kinetic analysis of the interaction of inorganic supports (e.g. CeO2) with sols of highly dispersed metals (iron, nickel, and silver) produced by electrocondensation was performed. The formulas for the kinetics of the process are obtained, and the duration of the process that provides supported metal catalysts with specified parameters is determined. The calculation results have been used to develop a technology for production of supported metal catalysts.
The market for rare-earth elements (REEs) and REE catalysts is analyzed. Essential data on the REE deposits in Russia and the world are given. The use of REEs is analyzed with emphasis on the production of magnets and catalysts. Some data on the fields of the application of REE catalysts, e.g., the purification of vehicle exhaust gases, catalytic cracking, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydration, dehydration, steam, carbon dioxide, and oxidative conversion of methane, waste water treatment, are given. It is concluded that the development of the production of REE catalysts could lead to breakthroughs in the field of creating low-temperature, energy-saving catalytic processes.
Market analysis of rare earth metals (REM) and REM-catalyst is given. The base data about the field of REM in Russia and in the world are represented. Analysis of the use of REM with a focus on the production of magnets and catalysts is available. Data about an applications of REM-catalysts: neutralization of vehicle exhaust, catalytic cracking, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydration, dehydration, steam, carbon dioxide and oxidative conversion of methane, waste water treatment, etc. are given. There is conclusion that the development of REM-catalysts may provide a breakthrough in the field of energy-efficient low-temperature catalytic processes.
The Program of Russian Federation Government “Development of Strategy of Chemical and Petrochemical Industry till 2015” is analyzed. The program determines the priority lines of petrochemistry development in Russian Federation.
Both classical economic theory and progress in many countries prove that management in a country economy (during the formation of market relations, especially in industry) is not possible without the state involvement. This article analyses the level of public sector in the developed countries and in the Russian Federation and offers recommendations for strengthening the regulatory state impact on the economy through the progressive structuring of the public sector and the government business.
