Karpov Institute

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, with whom I have had the pleasure to work. I would like to extend my gratitude to the brilliant professionals at the Institute of Chemistry at the Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Apatity, Russia), Institute of Common and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukraine Academy of Science (Kiev, Ukraine), Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry (Moscow, Russia), Institute of Chemistry of Nitrogen (Moscow, Russia), Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa, Israel), Chemistry of Solids Laboratory of CNRS (Bordeaux, France), Tan Ceramics Ltd. (Migdal Haemek, Israel). 

We are pleased to present to you this book on Semiconductor Sensors in Physico-Chemical Studies, edited by Dr. Leonid Kupriyanov of the Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry in Moscow. Translated from Russian by a professional translator, the prose still retains some of its local flavour although, we trust, it is clearly understandable throughout.

This chapter presents an account of the main results of studies of kinetics of some industrial heterogeneous catalytic reactions. The studies have been carried out by the author with his co-workers at the Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry (Moscow, USSR). The presentation is not chronological the reactions are arranged based on the character of interpretation of their kinetics. 

For more than 30 years at Lomonosov Moscow State University, later at Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry, and recently at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala (V. G. Kessler), the authors of this book have systematically studyiedthe synthesis and properties of homometallic alkoxides of Groups I-Vm of the Periodic Table, the bimetallic derivatives (alkox-oaluminates, -titanates, -zirconates, -niobates, -tantalates, -molybdates, -tung-...

Mikhail I. Temkin, born in Bielostock, graduated in 1926 from the Lepeshinsky School in Moscow. At that time, the law prescribed two years of work prior to admission to a university. According to Temkin, these years spent at chemical plants shaped his future interests in linking theory to practice. He graduated in 1932 from Moscow State University and joined the Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry, where he began studies on thermodynamics and kinetics, with applications to catalysis. After a visit in 1935 to the laboratory of Michael Polanyi in Manchester, Temkin returned to the Karpov Institute, where he started the Laboratory of Chemical Kinetics that he headed for 50 years.

Unsolved fundamental problems of great practical importance remain in aerosol dynamics. In addition to the need for rapid chemical measurement methods mentioned above, much more research is required on the effects of turbulence on coagulation and nucleation the general dynamic equation must be extended to include factors that determine the crystal state of primary particles. We also need to continue efforts to Jink aerogel formation and aerosol dynamics as initiated by A. A. Lushnikov (Karpov Institute), Experimental and...
