Prof. Artak Kostanyan | Chief Researcher | N.S. Kurnakov Institute Of General And Inorganic Chemistry | Russia

Prof. Artak Kostanyan is a distinguished Russian scientist specializing in the development of advanced extraction and reaction processes, as well as the design of industrial separation devices. His research has profoundly influenced the theory and practice of multiphase extraction, liquid-liquid chromatography, and extraction-chromatographic separation processes. Kostanyan has pioneered original multiphase processes and devices, many of which have been patented internationally, including in Europe, the USA, Canada, China, and Japan, in collaboration with industry leaders such as Bayer. His work integrates theoretical modeling with experimental investigation to optimize separation efficiency and scalability, particularly in non-ferrous and rare-earth metals processing. According to Scopus, he has authored 114 documents, which have accumulated 1,129 citations, yielding an h-index of 22, reflecting significant scientific impact. Kostanyan’s research has advanced the understanding of three-phase and multi-stage extraction systems, centrifugal extractors, and liquid membrane technologies, with applications extending from laboratory studies to industrial implementation. His contributions also include innovative methods for using deep eutectic solvents in extraction, mathematical modeling of separation processes, and techniques for enhancing elution efficiency in recycling liquid-liquid chromatography. His work continues to shape both academic research and industrial applications in chemical engineering, extraction technology, and separation science.
