Some regularities of the process of dissolution of dispersed solid matter

Abstract

The year 1962 marked the 75th anniversary of the completion of the works of I. G. Bogusky, which laid the foundation for the study of the kinetics of solid-liquid dissolution. The question of the dissolution rate was raised by Wenzel and then by some French scientists in the middle and even at the beginning of the XIX century. However, the first systematic studies of the regularities of the dissolution process of a solid were the works of I. G. Bogusky, one of the pupils of D. I. Mendeleev. Bogusky found that the dissolution rate is proportional to the concentration of the solvent and the size of the solid surface. Subsequent work by Shpring and other researchers on a variety of objects confirmed the conclusions of I. G. Bogusky, but did not give exhaustive results that would allow to express the observed regularities in the form of mathematical formulations.
