Alekseev completed the St. Petersburg Mining Institute and was a professor there from 1879 to 1901. In 1876 he described the method, named for him, for the determination of the reciprocal solubility of liquids and first demonstrated the existence of a critical temperature for solubility. In 1885, Alekseev discovered the law of the so-called rectilinear diameter, used in the determination of critical temperature by graphic means.
