Abstract
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.
