Professor, Doctor habil. (Chemistry). Russian and Soviet-period chemist specialized in chemistry and technology of chloroorganic synthesis. Moscow, Russia.

Being the Chief Chemist on organochlorine production issues of the USSR Ministry of Chemical Industry, Yu.A. Treger directed creating and manufacturing development of more than 20 industrial chemical plants (1964–1998). He also has an extensive experience in the field of ensuring environmental and industrial safety of chemical production facilities.

Scope of research interests:

  • chemistry and technology for production and use of organochlorine synthesis products;
  • basic trends in development of industrial organic and petrochemical synthesis;
  • catalysts and catalytic processes in organochlorine synthesis;
  • environmental issues of chemical industry.

Key scientific achievements:

  • method has been developed for production of methyl chloride by oxidative chlorination of methane under pressure;
  • method has been developed for production of lower olefins (i.e. ethylene and propylene) by catalytic pyrolysis of methyl chloride;
  • technology based on liquid-phase chlorination of butadiene was developed and tested on pilot plant scale;
  • took part in in the development of environmental programs and projects for destruction of industrial waste, disposal of persistent organic pollutants, addressing problems associated with natural gas rational processing, etc.

Membership in organizations:

  • member of the Council of the Russian Union of Chemists;
  • academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering (1993);
  • member of Scientific and Technical Council on implementation of measures aimed at development of chemical, medical and pharmaceutical industries, and biotechnological complex (Chemical Industry section);
  • member of Interdepartmental Expert Council on development of chemical industry;
  • member of Scientific Council on Catalysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences;
  • member of Scientific and Technical Council of the Ministry of Industry and Energy of the Russian Federation on ‘Low production volume chemicals, targeted synthesis and environmentally safe production technologies’ (1990–2000);
  • member of the interdepartmental commission of the Government of the Russian Federation (IAC) for ozone layer protection and head of the working group on industry transfer towards ozone-friendly substances (1999–2005);
  • member of steering group of Arctic Council on polychlorinated biphenyls, member of the working group on dioxins and obsolete pesticides (1997–2004);
  • head of the expert group of the Ministry of Industry and Science of Russia on inventory of sources of formation and emissions of polychlorinated biphenyls and methods for their neutralization (1997–2004);
  • • UNEP expert on Stockholm Convention (Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Belarus) (1997–2002);
  • member of Expert Council under the Committee of the State Duma on chemical and petrochemical industry issues (2008–2011);
  • member of Council of General and Chief Designers, leading scientists and specialists in the field of high-tech sectors of economy under the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation (2008–2012).

Honored chemist of the Russian Federation. Winner of the Prize of the Government of Russia (1996).

Author (co-author) of 10 books, more than 300 research publications, 170 invention certificates, 30 patents.
