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.
