Zhavoronkov was elected Corresponding D;ember oC the Acade:gy of Sciences USSR, in the speciality of chemical technology, at a meeting of the Department of Chemical Sciences of the Acade:;,y held on 19-20 October 195j. Zhavoronkov is an expert in the i'ield of chemical technology. iiis principal investigations dealt with the processes of the production of hydro- gen, the purification of gases, ti:e production of synthetic ammonia, and the processes of the separation of mixtures of liquids by the methods of adsorption, rectification, molecular distillation, and chemical interaction. Zhavoronkov carried out a number of scientific investigations pertaining to the problem of the purification of hydrogen and of the hydrogen-nitroger. mixture (for the syn- thesis oi' ammonia] from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The results of his investigations on the lurification of converted gas from carbon monoxide by means of ammonical solutions of cuprous salts gave been applied practically at plants and by planning organizations ;which do the designing for industrial plants], Zhavoron'rov's work on the solubility of carbon dioxide in ;rater and its absorption by water is being applied industrially and is also of theoretical value. A number of his investigations on the aerohydrodynamics of the scrubber process deal with one of the important problems involved in the design of chemical equipment used for absorption, rectification, and other separation processes. fiotwithstanding tt;e extensive application of scrubber equipment and the long experience in its use by the Industz?y, tiie scrubber process in general and particularly the aerohydrodynamic aspects of the operation of scrubbers t:nd not been investigated in great detail until recently. Zhavoron- kov's work contributed considerably to an improved knowledge of this field: he was the first USSR investigator to conduct systematic and many-sided re- search on the aerolrydrodynamics of the scrubber process.
