Currently, the department trains personnel in 5 main specialties: silicate and refractory non-metallic materials technology, rare and noble metals technology, construction materials technology, porcelain-faience technology, and electrochemical production.
The department contributed to the training of highly qualified specialists in foreign countries. Citizens of a number of foreign countries, namely the Czech Republic, India, Egypt, Lebanon, studied at the department, 3 of them defended their candidate dissertations at the department.
About the department. The department employs highly qualified, experienced professors and associate professors who work individually to ensure that each graduate becomes a good specialist. Currently, the department employs 4 professors, 7 candidates of sciences, 3 senior lecturers, 1 trainee lecturer, 1 assistant, 8 PhD candidates, and an independent researcher. Scientific potential - 69%.
The main goal of the Department of "Technology of Silicate Materials and Noble, Rare Metals" is to train highly qualified personnel in the fields of modern ceramics, glass and binding materials, new composite materials, materials based on advanced innovative technologies, rare and noble metals, construction materials and porcelain-faience technology, electrochemistry and nanotechnology-based materials, development of new energy-efficient and "green" technologies of production.
Graduates will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, skills, and abilities corresponding to their profile in studying the patterns of selection and enrichment of raw materials, grinding, mixing and thermal treatment of materials and products, the role and importance of crystallization, structure formation, and hydration processes in obtaining finished products.
The department offers training and instruction in over 70 disciplines across the undergraduate programs:

Currently, the department's branches are located at the industrial enterprises of JSC "Asl Oyna," "Toshkent-Chinni Zavodi," and "Nodir Kafellar," where students receive classes directly at these enterprises. At the department's branches, students effectively acquire knowledge and skills in harmony with science and industry.
The department's research focuses on methods for producing ceramics, porcelain and earthenware, acid-resistant materials, glass and glass-ceramic materials, binders based on local raw materials and industrial waste, modern bioceramics, piezoceramics, high-temperature catalysts, innovative and energy-saving integrated raw material enrichment technologies, magnetic, high-rigid, high-temperature, and wear-resistant compounds, nanopowders and nanomaterials based on silicate mateirals, silicones, rare and noble metals.
Graduates of the department work in JSC "Quartz", JSC "Asl oyna", JSC "Bekobodcement", JSC "Akhangarancement", Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Plant, Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Plant, "Tashkent-Chinni", "Nodir Kafellar", "Onyx-Tashkent", "Tashkent Porcelain Factory", "Foton", "Artel" and many other industry enterprises, higher educational institutions and universities, as well as in research institutes of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan.
