Studying the kinetic laws of the processes of catalytic aerobic and peroxide oxidation of hydrocarbons and polymers in the liquid phase in the presence of fullerenes, metal-containing carbon nanotubes, nanofibers and their functionalized carbon nanostructured analogues; development and improvement of oxidation processes of synthetic petroleum and hydroxy acids that meet modern requirements; titanium nano-dioxides as antioxidants and catalysts in oxidation reactions; kinetic analysis of antioxidants in complex organic and petroleum compositions; issues of thermal and thermo-oxidative stability of polymeric materials.

1. For the first time, the activity of natural antioxidants in the composition of Azerbaijani oils and oil fractions was determined by kinetic methods, and an information database of the antioxidant activity of oil systems in the Azerbaijan region was compiled based on the results.
2. Concentrates of natural petroleum antioxidants were used as effective antioxidant stabilizers for composite materials based on polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride and chloropolyethylene used for the production of injection molding tires and roofing materials.
3. The kinetic laws of the oxidation of petroleum hydrocarbons of the diesel fraction and some polyolefins are investigated.
4. For the first time in Azerbaijan, carbon nanostructures were used and studied as catalysts and antioxidants in aerobic oxidation processes of petroleum hydrocarbons and polymers: C60 and C70 fullerenes, metal-containing single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes and nanofibres, functionalized carbon compounds - (OH) n- and (-NH ) n-C60, hydroxyl, Br and TEMPO-containing carbon nanotubes. A fundamental and practical scientific base in this area has been developed.
5. Processes have been developed for the production of synthetic and hydroxy-petroleum acids in the presence of nanocarbon catalysts.
6. The processes of producing esters in the presence of titanium nano-dioxides have been studied in detail and on this basis a modern, environmentally friendly and economically viable process has been proposed.

In recent years, Professor EZ Zeynalov conducted a series of studies on the processes of liquid-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of various carbon nanocatalysts and titanium nano-dioxides. He published a number of reviews in this field and showed that carbon nanocompounds - fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are active agents for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A proposal has been put forward for the use of “Н2О2 + soot С60 / CNT” systems for the oxidation of persistent polycyclic hydrocarbon molecules and structures, in particular, for the destruction of phenols and oil contaminants.
