Chemistry and Petrochemistry Laboratory

Shakhlo Daminova graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry of Termez State University in 1996. Under the guidance of Professor Rashid Kulmatov, she conducted research on "Photometric determination of chromium ions in Surkhandarya water". Later she joined the group of Professor Hasan Sharipov at the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan and conducted research in the field of coordination chemistry of noble and non-ferrous metals. In 2001 she defended her PhD thesis on 02.00.01-inorganic chemistry. From 2001 to 2010 she worked at Termez State University as a senior lecturer, associate professor, head of the Department of General and Bioorganic Chemistry. In 2010-2016 she moved to the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology and under the guidance of Professor Hasan Sharipov conducted research on “Regularities of sorption of non-ferrous and noble metals with P,S,O,N-containing solid extractants and their structural feature”. Since 2017, she has been working as the head of the laboratory of chemistry and petrochemistry of the State Enterprise “Uzbek-Japan Innovation Center of Youth”. In 2019, she defended her doctoral thesis on the specialties 02.00.01-Inorganic Chemistry and 02.00.04-Physical Chemistry.The scientific work of Shakhlo Daminova is aimed at creation of scientific bases for directed production of new nanostructured solid extractants for separation of rare and non-ferrous metals by establishing the relationship between composition, structure, microstructure and properties, as well as synthesis of new coordination compounds of a number of d-metals with polydentatepolyfunctional organic ligands with different functional groups, study of their crystal and electronic structures, determination of the peculiarities of their structure depending on the electron structure of the solid extractants.
