The Department of Chemical Technologies and Resource Saving began its history in 1958 when the first Department of Chemical Fiber Technology in Ukraine was created based on the Chemical Technology Faculty of Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry (KTILP) at the request of the time to train engineering and scientific personnel for the chemical industry of Ukraine. The founder of the Department was Oleksandr Yudin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor. In 1961, the first graduation of 25 chemical engineers and technologists for the chemical fiber industry took place.
Research activity was and remains an integral part of the Department’s work. Prof. M. P. Kotov, Prof. M. V. Tsebrenko, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor V. I. Vlasenko, PhD, researcher N.M. Rezanova worked in specialized scientific laboratories of the Department at different times. Under the leadership of Prof. M.V. Tsebrenko, new technologies for obtaining ultra-thin synthetic fibers and filter materials for precision filtration based on them were created.
In 1988, the Department of Chemical Fiber Technology was reorganized into the Department of Plastic and Elastomer Processing Technology, headed by DScTech, Professor, Viktor Anokhin (1923–2004). V.V. Anokhin is a 1950 graduate of KTILP, a participant in the II World War, awarded with many orders and medals, and worked his way up from an assistant to a rector. In 1961, he defended his candidate's thesis, and in 1992, his doctoral thesis. He headed KTILP from 1967 to 1973.
In 1993, DScTech, Professor Valery Pakharenko, whose research and production activities are dedicated to the creation of new composite polymer materials and methods of their processing, was appointed the head of the Department of Plastic and Elastomer Processing Technology.
At various times, candidates of technical sciences, associate professors taught at the Department: B. A. Yegorov, V. O. Yefremov, O. P. Pymonenko, O. V. Zhdanovich, O. S. Grzhimalovskyi, G. P. Nikolayeva, Yu. Y. Kleiner, O. V. Shapoval, T. S. Shostak, doctors of technical sciences, professors O. V. Romankevich, V. M. Irklay, Ph.D. professor, honored worker of science and technology of Ukraine, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology M. V. Tsebrenko.
In 2014, the Department of Technology of Polymers and Chemical Fibers was reorganized into the Department of Applied Ecology, Technology of Polymers and Chemical Fibers. The Department was headed by DScTech, Professor, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology Viktoriia Plavan. The range of scientific activities of the Department has expanded in the direction of the development of ecologically oriented technologies for the utilization and reuse of light industry and chemical waste for the production of biopolymers with predictable properties.
In 2022, the Department of Applied Ecology, Technology of Polymers and Chemical Fibers was reorganized into the Department of Chemical Technologies and Resource Saving. Thanks to the addition of the teaching staff from the Department of Electrochemical Energy and Chemistry, the field of scientific interests of the Department of Chemical Technologies and Resource Saving has expanded in the direction of the development, production, and operation of fuel cells and electrochemical generators, primary batteries, accumulators, supercapacitors, photo-electrochemical converters of solar energy in electric; modern methods and means for ecological monitoring of the environment and detoxification, where electrochemical technologies and devices are the most effective.
At present, the Department employs specialists who have made a significant contribution to the development of the technology of polymers, chemical fibers, and composite materials both in Ukraine and abroad, as well as to the training of highly qualified specialists, in particular: DScTech, Professor B. M. Savchenko; DScTech, Professor N. V. Sova, PhD, associate professor I. O. Lyashok;, young scientists,PhD O. O. Sleptsov, D. Patlun.
Highly qualified specialists continue to work on the research of chemical current sources, and the creation of protective coatings against electromagnetic radiation such as DScTech, associate professor V.G. Khomenko, PhD, associate professors I.S. Makeeva, O.A. Kryukova, O.V. Kyslova, O. O. Butenko.
The Department trains students of the educational and qualification level of a bachelor in the specialties 161 - "Chemical technologies and engineering", the educational program "Chemical technologies and engineering", 183 "Technologies of environmental protection", the educational program "Environmental engineering".
The training of masters is carried out according to the educational programs "Chemical technologies of processing of polymer and composite materials" the specialty 161 "Chemical technologies and engineering".
Post-graduate studies and the defense of theses for obtaining the PhD degree are carried out in the specialty 161 - "Chemical technologies and engineering", the educational program "Chemical technologies and engineering".
Over the years of the Department's existence, close cooperation has been established with other educational institutions of Ukraine: Lviv Polytechnic National University, National University of "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy", Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Research is carried out with the involvement of students in close cooperation with scientific institutions not only in Ukraine, but also in the USA, Greece, Great Britain, France, Germany, Romania, Austria, Sweden, and Lithuania. Undergraduate and graduate students of the Department take an active part in international conferences and symposia.
