BUDNIKOV 70 



was an Honored Scientist of the Ukrainian S.S.R. in 1943. In 

 1942, 1950, and 1952, he was awarded Stalin Prizes. 



The chief emphasis of the works of Budnikov is given to a 

 complex study of the mineral wealth of the U. S.S.R. and es- 

 tablishing a method for its utilization. The long study of 

 Budnikov on the investigation of gypsum broadened the latter' s 

 use in the building and chemical industries. He invented an 

 anhydridic cement. As a result of his study of the chemical 

 processes during hydration and solidification of blast furnace 

 slag, Budnikov discovered new types of hydraulic cement— sul- 

 fated non-clinker and low-clinker slag cements, high quality, 

 quick hardening and expanding cement —which were widely util- 

 ized. Work was carried out by Budnikov in the field of hydro - 

 thermal processing of building materials, and refractory ma- 

 terial for the coke, chemical and metallurgical industries. A 

 series of his works is devoted to the thermo-chemistry of bind- 

 ing agents, the chemical and thermal stability of refractory ma- 

 terial, and corrosion of cements and concrete. He studied re- 

 actions in solid phases in silicate systems and developed new 

 methods of investigating silicates.
