The influence of temperature, absorbed dose and dose rate, as well as the shape and material of the reaction vessel on the formation of high-molecular olefins and gases during radiation-thermal transformations of oil and oil fractions under the action of gamma radiation, gamma-neutron radiation and accelerated electrons.

The kinetics and mechanism of obtaining hydrogen and synthesis gas from oil residues, oil-bituminous rocks and solid organic fuels have been studied, and the optimal values of the parameters have been determined.

Radiation-chemical transformations of oil, resinous and asphaltene oil fractions have been studied, and regularities of decomposition of these fractions in the environment have been studied.

The transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of oil under the influence of environmental factors has been studied. Methods of radiation-thermal neutralization of waste and oil-containing waters formed during oil transportation have been developed.

Radiation-chemical transformations of composite materials obtained from petroleum bitumen have been studied, ways of increasing their radiation resistance have been shown.
