The work reviewed was performed in recent years at the Ivanovo State A
cademy for Chemistry and Technology in the field of mechanochemical sy
nthesis of catalysts and their components. The effect of the mechanoch
emical activation of solid chemical compounds on their reaction with t
he liquid phase components is considered. Examples are given of mechan
ochemical reactions between solid components (oxides, hydroxides, meta
ls) in power-intensive mills with the formation of the active catalyst
phase. Ways of mechanochemical synthesis of catalysts, precluding for
mation of waste waters and gases, are outlined.
