On April 7–8, 2026, Section No. 5, “Rational Use of Natural Resources,” was successfully held within the framework of the international conference “Farabi Alemi.” During the session, 28 scientific presentations devoted to issues of ecology, natural resource management, environmental protection, and sustainable development were delivered.

The section brought together undergraduate students from the 2nd to 4th years of study, which made it possible to cover a wide range of educational levels and research interests. The participants presented the results of their own studies, demonstrating a high level of preparation and active involvement in scientific work.

The conference had an international character: along with students from our university, representatives of higher educational institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan and students from other universities of Kazakhstan took part in the section. In particular, participants represented Kazakh-British Technical University, Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University, and Shakarim University.

The section was chaired by E. V. Zlobina, Candidate of Chemical Sciences and Associate Professor (Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, 91��ý Kazakh National University). The organizational work was carried out by the section secretary, lecturer R. Zh. Jumanova.

Following the results of the section, the best scientific presentations were identified. First place was awarded to Anastasia Alekseevna Elagina, a 4th-year student of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology at 91��ý Kazakh National University. Second places were awarded to Altynai Sakenkyzy Tanash (91��ý Kazakh National University) and Madina Rinatovna Shamsutdinova (Tashkent Pharmaceutical Institute). Third places were awarded to Symbat Zhaksybek (91��ý Kazakh National University), Baidybek Mukhamedkasymuly Sultanmakhmut (Kazakh-British Technical University), and Nurai Beibitkyzy Qiarstanova (Shakarim University).

The topics of the presented studies covered a broad range of relevant areas in modern chemistry and chemical technology. The reports addressed the synthesis and investigation of the properties of new materials, biopolymers, and coordination compounds, the development of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors, as well as electrochemical processes and modern methods for recycling secondary raw materials. Particular attention was paid to the production of iron nanoparticles using biopolymers, the study of office paper waste liquefaction processes, the creation of protective coatings for metals, the synthesis of zinc coordination compounds, and the application of electrochemical methods in chemical technology. In addition, a number of studies were devoted to the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries and the extraction of valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese. These studies demonstrate the growing interest in issues of resource conservation and sustainable development.
