worked at the Institute of Rare Minor Metals in Moscow. He 

 began teaching at the Moscow Institute of Fine Chemical Tech- 

 nology in 1933 and in 1948 was made professor. In 1958 

 Bol'shakovwas elected a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. He received a Stalin Prize in 1941. 



Bol'shakov's main investigations deal with the physical- 

 chem.ical basis of technological processes in obtaining rare 

 elements.

BORESKOV, GEORGH KQNSTANTINQVICH (Physical Chemist) 

 G. K. Boreskov was born April 20, 1907. He graduated from 

 Odessa Institute in 1928, and from 1928 to 1937 he worked at 

 the Ukrainian Chemical -Radiology Institute (Odessa; now the 

 Ukrainian branch of the Institute of Rare Metals). He also 

 taught at the University of Odessa in 1934-37 and in 1930-37 at 

 the Odessa Chemical-Technological Institute. From 1937 to 

 1949 he was Chief of the Laboratory of Catalysis for the Scien- 

 tific Research Institute of Fertilizers and Insectofungicides. In 

 1946 he began working at the Karpov^ Physico-Chemical Institute 

 and in 1949 became professor at the Moscow Chemico- 

 Technological Institute of D. I. Mendeleev. Boreskov has been 

 a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences 

 since 1958. He was awarded a Stalin Prize in 1942, and two 

 orders and medals. 



The investigations of Boreskov deal with the study of cata- 

 lytic processes, the development of a scientific basis for se- 

 lecting and preparing catalysis and designing catalytic reactors. 

 He proposed a vanadium catalyst for producing sulphuric acid,
