The scientific activity of Shahtakhtinski Habibullacovered such areas as analytical chemistry and technology of inorganic substances. A scientist has developed an arsenate-iodometric method for analyzing a number of chemical elements, which contributed to the discovery of a new page in analytical chemistry. During the complex processing of mineral raw materials with rich deposits on the territory of the republic, the scientist prepared a technology for the associated extraction of rare and trace elements (gallium, vanadium, etc.) and recommended for practical use.

Under the leadership of Shahtakhtinski Habibulla worked was completed on obtaining elemental sulfur by the converted natural gas from the exhaust gases of metallurgical plants and was tested on a semi-industrial device.
