Abstract
WISNIAK, Jaime. Charles Hatchett: The discoverer of niobium. Educ. quím [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.4, pp.346-355. ISSN 0187-893X. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eq.2015.07.004.
To Charles Hatchett (1765-1847), a self-educated scientist and first class analytical chemist, we owe the discovery of niobium, the analysis of a series of important minerals and animal substances such as shells, bones, dental enamel, a detailed study of bitumens, the separation of an artificial tanning material from mineral and animal sources.
Keywords : Bitumen; Bones; Columbium; Gold coins; Lac; Molybdenum; Niobium; Shells; Zoophites.
