After graduation, Ermolenko went to Minsk, becoming a teacher at the Department of Inorganic, Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Belarusian State University , and graduated from graduate school under him. Since 1930 he headed the Department of General Chemistry of the Minsk State Medical Institute , and since 1934 - the Department of Analytical Chemistry. In 1932 he created the laboratory of colloid chemistry (later - the laboratory of synthetic sorbents and sorption processes of the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR ). In 1935, Ermolenko defended his doctoral dissertation. and in 1936 he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Byelorussian SSR [1] .

In addition, he was the pioneer of laminar coagulation, a new phenomenon at that time in colloidal chemistry. Under the leadership of Ermolenko, 29 candidate and 2 doctoral dissertations were defended.
