Georgi Konstantinowitsch Boreskow
Georgi Konstantinowitsch Boreskow , Russian Георгий Константинович Боресков (born April 20, 1907 in Omsk , † December 31, 1984 in Moscow ) was a Russian chemist who dealt with catalysis .
Boreskow studied chemistry at Odessa University and received his doctorate in 1929. He headed a laboratory at the Radiological Institute in Odessa and at the Research Institute of Fertilizers and Insecticides in Moscow. From 1946 he was at the Karpov Institute for Physical Chemistry in Moscow and was a professor at the Chemical-Technological Institute. In 1958 he became director of the newly established Institute for Catalysis of the Siberian Department of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, today's Boreskov Institute for Catalysis in Akademgorodok . In this context, he also taught at the Novosibirsk State University .
Boreskow is known for his contributions to catalysis, both from a practical point of view (among other things, he examined the catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide with vanadium catalysts used in sulfuric acid production) and in theory. He developed a theory of the optimal porous structure of solid catalysts and a mathematical model of the optimization of catalytic reactors. In 1953 he presented a theory of the constancy of the specific catalytic effect of solid catalysts.
He was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In 1967 he became a hero of socialist labor.
