at the AU-Union Heat Engineering Institute. In 1939-41 Kara- 

 vaev was at the Institute of Fuel Minerals of the U.S.S.R. Acade- 

 my of Sciences. He became a professor in 1949 at the Moscow 

 Institute of Chemical Machine Building where he had worked 

 since 1946. In 1946 he was elected a Corresponding Member 

 of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 



Karavaev has studied the origin, chemistry^ and technology 

 of solid fuels and products obtained from them. Since 1926 he 

 has been investigating the coal of the Kuznets, Irkutsk, and other 

 basins. In 1929 he proposed industrial marking of coal of the 

 Kuznets basin. In 1933-36, Karavaev directed the work on 

 hydrogenation of solid fuels and tars and also on hydrocarbon 

 synthesis from water gas. He has been engaged in the study of 

 semicoking of Siberian coal in industrial conditions. Together 

 with associates, Karavaev proposed a new scheme of process- 

 ing raw benzene from chemical -coke plants. He worked out a 

 new scheme of periodic rectification. He also worked in the 

 pyrolysis of fuels.
