Biography
Born on January 21 ( February 3 ), 1915 in Petrograd , Russian Empire [1] .
In 1932 he entered the Tashkent Geological Prospecting College, and in 1935 - at the mining department of the Central Asian Industrial Institute, which he successfully graduated in 1940.
Since 1940 he served in the Red Army. For years, he fought on the Leningrad Front , was the head of the chemical service of a separate engineering and combat engineer battalion [2] .
After the war, he studied at the graduate school of the Leningrad Mining Institute under the supervision of Professor D.P. Grigoriev.
Since 1949 he worked as an assistant professor and professor at the Kryvyi Rih Mining Institute , where on May 30, 1957 he defended his doctoral dissertation "Theory of chemical bonds in minerals and other inorganic compounds" [3] .
In 1960 he moved to Kiev , headed the department of mineralogy and crystal chemistry at the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
Since 1969 - Head of the Department of Crystal Chemistry and Mineralogy, Institute of Geochemistry and Physics of Minerals, Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
He was nominated as corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the specialty Mineralogy and Petrography, but was not elected.
He was elected a corresponding member (1969), and then an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (1973).
He died on March 4, 1986 in Kiev, and was buried in the Baykovsky cemetery [4] .
Scientific activity
The scientist considered the main problems of mineralogy from the standpoint of the dynamics of crystallography. He summarized and analyzed a huge experimental and theoretical material on mineralogy, on the basis of which he developed the latest theory of crystal chemistry of minerals. The results are published in his monograph “Crystal Chemical Classification of Mineral Species” (1966), which was also published in the USA. For this work, A. S. Povarennykh was awarded the I. Vernadsky Prize.
The scientist deeply studied and processed the crystal chemical theory of one of the most important properties of minerals - hardness, and received its main formula. He also considered other properties of minerals and their dependence on the constitutional features of the mineral.
A. S. Povarennykh paid much attention to the study of vibrational spectra of crystals, mainly minerals. He proposed a universal equation for determining the force constant. It allows you to widely use infrared spectroscopy methods to solve important problems, starting with theoretical problems and early diagnosis of minerals and ending with the identification of typomorphic characters and the development of genetic mineralogy. The scientist outlined his vision of the future in the study of mineral matter in the book Mineralogy: Past, Present and Future (1985).
