On April 28, participants of the Republican Subject Olympiad visited the Institute of Metallurgy and Mineral Processing. During the tour, the students learned very useful information about research on metallurgy and mineral processing, as well as research on the separation of a particular element: lithium, molybdenum, titanium. After listening to the guides, they are mostly undergraduates and doctoral students of the university, who tell how their research is carried out on modern equipment and in modern databases, which allows them to achieve high and reliable research results, which ultimately speeds up the process of protecting and publishing articles and new discoveries.
