Applied electrochemistry, articles of Moscow schools and individuals

This page collects representative contributions from various Moscow institutions related to galvanics, corrosion protection, and applied electrolysis. Note that non-academic Institutes from Moscow had systematic intersections with the Institute of Physical Chemistry (see corresponding articles are at a separate page, e.g. N.A. Izgaryshev’s articles affiliated with this Institute). M.Ya. Fioshin had a lot of joint works with Karpov Inst, and also with L.I. Krishtalik and with B.N. Kabanov.

Drozdov N.S. Electrochemical oxidation of the three-valent chromium into chromic acid // Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii. 1933. V. 3. P. 345-350, in Russian. Supposedly, the author is Nikolay Sergeyevich Drozdov (1902-1963). Indicated affiliation ‘Tropical Institute’ is known as one of the interediate names of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, which now belongs to the 1st Moscow Medical University.

Izgaryshev N.A., Maiorova E.Ya. On the electrode processes of deposition and dissolution of metals depending on the nature of ions and concentration // Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii. 1936. V. 6. P. 1208-1229, in Russian.

Izgaryshev N.A., Grigoriev N.K. Electrocatalytic release of lead and zinc from their sulfides // Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii. 1936. V. 6. P. 1676-1685, in Russian.

Sokolov P.I. Concentrational polarization in the course of water electrolysis // Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii. 1936. V. 6. P. 1721-1728, in Russian.

Kryukov P.A., Kryukov A.A. Metallized glass electrode // Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1937. V. 6. P. 619-621, in Russian. The work is affiliated with Soil Science Institute, where Petr Alekseyevich Kryukov (1906-1991) worked before WWII (finally moved to Novosibirsk, his 1964 DSc thesis addresses soil suspensions). Presumably, the second author is his father Alexey Aleksandrovich (1872-1949), who worked as spa physician during this period, and was very active with research of mineral water. Metallization of glass allows to use very thin glass avoiding high resistance. The next communication of P.A. Kryukov on calomel electrode: Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1937. V. 6. P. 1495, in Russian

Vainshtein G.M. Determination of the specific conductivity of river water from the internal resistance of galvanic cell // Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1937. V. 6. P. 1471-1474, in Russian. Affiliated with Rublevo pumping station (pre-revolutionary waterworks, which played major role in Moscow water supply). We can assume that the author is Georgyi Mikhailovich Vainshtein, known later for his hydrotechnical publications. A bridge with river water is located between two half-cells of Daniel battery.

P. 1969-1979, in Russian, Abstract in French (P. 1978-1979). Orest Evganievich Zvyagintsev (1894-1967) was an expert in technologies of noble metals, who worked in industry (Ural), and later in Moscow, mostly in the Istitute of General and Inorganic Chemistry.

Pshenitsyn P.A., Lavrovich O.S. New electrolyzer for electrolytic decomposition of alkaline <alkali?> sallts // Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1938. V. 7. P. 622-623, in Russian. Affiliated with the Lab of construction materials to built the Palace of Soviets <Дворец Советов>. This building was, in the end, not implemented political project. The first author worked on concrete-related topics later.

Kochergin S.M. On the theory and practice of nickel galvanoplastics // Zhurnal Prikladnoi Khimii. 1939. V. 12. P. 44-45, in Russian. The author is mostly associated with Kazan, but in mid 1930s he worked at the factory in Noginsk near Moscow.

Levin L.E. A new type of calomel electrode // Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1941. V. 10. P. 328, in Russian. Institute of Organic Intermediates and Dyes, Moscow; the author patented a number of solutions for automatic pH measuremets in aniline industry. Design of the electrode is rather similar to modern commercial reference electrodes.

Mikhailov V.V. Electrocrystallization of metals // Uspekhi Khimii. 1949. V. 18. P. 724-736, in Russian. Vladimir Vasilievich Mikhailov defended his PhD thesis on Cu plating in the Moscow Chemical-Technological Institute (1950). An interesting aspect of this article is presentation of Glazunov’ works, in essentially different context than in systematic modern article.

Modestova V.N. The effect of anions on the kinetics of cathodic oxygen reduction // Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1951. V. 25. P. 1138-1139, in Russian. This is a part of 1953 PhD thesis of Vera Nikolaevna Modestova completed in the Moscow Chemical-Technological Inst (later she worked in corrosion Dept of the Inst of Physical Chemistry).

Pazukhin V.A. Crystal chemistry knowledge as applied to fabrication of aluminum by electrolysis // Uspekhi Khimii. 1952. V. 21. P. 313-336, in Russian.
