Saranchuk V.I. was born on June 13, 1932 in a peasant family in the village of Peski, Yasinovatsky District, Donetsk Region. All his life, except for 2 years of evacuation in Kazakhstan in 1941-1943, he lived in the Donbass, where all his ancestors came from. In 1950, he graduated from high school in the city of Krasnoarmeysk, Donetsk region, and entered the mining department of the Donetsk Industrial Institute. In 1955, V. Saranchuk graduated from DII with a degree in underground coal gasification, and he was qualified as a mining engineer. At first he worked at mine No. 1-1 bis of the Krasnogvardeiskugol trust as an assistant to the head of section No. 2. But in October 1955, by order of the Ministry of Coal Industry of Ukraine, he was sent to work in the Donetsk branch of the Vniipodzemgaz Institute, which was soon converted into an independent GIPROPodzemgaz Institute. He worked from 1955 until the end of 1960, first as an engineer, and then as a senior engineer of the mining and drilling department. In January 1961, V. Saranchuk transferred to the Mining Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, recreated in Donetsk, where he first worked as a senior engineer in the department of underground fires, and then in the department of technology for open work. At the beginning of 1963, the State Duma of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was transformed into the Institute of Mining Mechanics and transferred to the subordination of the USSR Ministry of Coal Industry. V. Saranchuk was invited to the underground fire fighting department of the Makeyevka Research Institute for Mining Safety (Maknyi), where he began working in February 1963, first as a group leader and then (since June 1964) as head of a chemical research laboratory coal activity. In 1968, based on the results of these studies, V. Saranchuk defended a Ph.D. thesis at the Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute on the theme “Studies of the nature and intensity of carbon monoxide formation in the mine workings of the Alexandriaugol plant mines. In 1969, V. Saranchuk by the decision of the Higher Attestation Commission was approved in the academic rank of senior research fellow. In 1969, V. Saranchuk spent two months in Iran as a specialist in determining the spontaneous combustion of coal. He studied this problem for the coal conditions of Georgia, the Moscow Region and the Lvov-Volyn, Donetsk and other coal basins of the USSR.

In 1974, V. Saranchuk transferred to work in the Donetsk branch of physical and organic chemistry at the Institute of Physical Chemistry named after L. Pisarzhevsky to the post of head of the department of physical and chemical foundations of dust suppression. In June 1975, the Donetsk branch was renamed the Institute of Physical-Organic Chemistry and Coal Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

After the transition to the system of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Saranchuk together with L. Ya. Galushko, L. Pashchenko, A. G Galushko and other employees of the department, which was later renamed first to the department of energy-chemical processing of coal (1977), and then to the department of coal chemistry (1998), continued studies of coal oxidation, self-heating and spontaneous combustion at a higher scientific level, using modern physical and physico-chemical methods of structural studies. Based on materials from these studies in 1980 at the Institute of Combustible Minerals (Moscow). Saranchuk defended his doctoral dissertation on the theme “Research on the oxidation and spontaneous combustion of coal and the waste mass of coal enterprises” with a degree in chemical technology of fuel and gas. The decision of the Higher Attestation Commission in 1987. Locust was awarded the academic title of professor in the specialty "chemical technology of fuel and gas." In 1978-2009 pp. V. Saranchuk was a member of the specialized scientific council of the Institute of Physical-Organic Chemistry and Coal Chemistry. L. N. Litvinenko NAS of Ukraine. From 1984 to 1997, he worked as deputy director of the Institute of Physical Organic Chemistry and Coal Chemistry. L. N. Litvinenko NAS of Ukraine. In 1985, V. Saranchuk was approved by the chairman of the Ukrainian section of the Scientific Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the chemistry of fossil solid fuels, which actively worked until the collapse of the USSR. From 1993 to 1999, he was a member of the expert council of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine, a member of the editorial board of the journal of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation “Solid Fuel Chemistry”. In the period from 1984 to 1991, Professor V. Saranchuk was the initiator and organizer of All-Union conferences and seminars with international participation on the problems of research and utilization of the mineral part of solid fossil fuels (1984), the production of synthetic fuels from solid fossil fuels (THC) ( 1985), isolation and study of the properties of humic preparations from fossil fuels (1987), according to the latest achievements in the field of THC structure (1989), on the problems of catalysis in coal chemistry (1990 p.), Etc., carried out in the Donetsk region .

In 1993-1996 pp. V. Saranchuk was the chairman of the expert council at the State Committee for Science and Technology of Ukraine on the problem “Technology of using energy raw materials and its wastes. Integrated processing of coal and other hydrocarbons. ”
