Kolthoff, I. M.; Furman, N. H. Potentiometric Titrations (Potentsiometricheskoe titrovanie). / Trans. from the 2nd American edition.

This 1935 volume is a milestone in the history of analytical chemistry, marking the arrival of modern electrochemical methods in the Soviet Union. Izaak Maurits Kolthoff, widely regarded as the "father of modern analytical chemistry," and Norman Howell Furman of Princeton University, revolutionized the field by moving it from empirical "cookbook" methods to a rigorous physico-chemical science.
The book provides a deep theoretical foundation for potentiometric methods, detailing the behavior of electrodes and the thermodynamic principles of electromotive force. It covers acid-base, precipitation, and redox titrations with unparalleled precision for the era.
A unique feature of this Russian edition, published by Onti-Khimteoret, is the significant enhancement made by the translators. They added a comprehensive bibliography covering the most recent international literature from 1930 to 1934, effectively making this Leningrad edition more up-to-date than its American progenitor. In the context of the USSR's rapid industrialization during the 1930s, this manual became the primary reference for chemical engineers and researchers developing new analytical protocols for the Soviet metallurgical and chemical industries.
