  Andreas Sigismund Marggraf - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
ANDREAS SIGISMUND MARGGRAF (1709-1782), German chemist, was born at Berlin on the 3rd of March 1709.
After studying chemistry at Berlin and Strassburg, medicine at Halle, and mineralogy and metallurgy at Freiberg, he returned to his native city in 1735 as assistant to his father, Henning Christian Marggraf, chief apothecary at the court.
Three years later he was elected to the Berlin Academy of Sciences, which in 1754 put him in charge of its chemical laboratory and in 1760 appointed him director of its physics class.

 BookRags: Andreas Marggraf Biography
Andreas Sigismund Marggraf(1709-1782) was an important figure in chemistry as it evolved from alchemy in the eighteenth century.
Marggraf was a precise and careful chemist, painstaking in his work and in his recording of that work.
However, Marggraf's discovery and influence made its mark because his student, Achard, tried his experiment on a large-scale, produced a significant amount of sugar, estimated the cost to be six cents per pound, and interested the French Institute in investigating his claims.

Andreas Sigismund Marggraf (1709-1782), for example, had completed an apothecary apprenticeship and, between 1735 and 1753, administered his father's apothecary shop in Berlin.
Marggraf had also learned assaying with Johann Friedrich Henckel (1678-1744) in Freiberg, done the first experiments for the extraction of sugar from beets, and was an ambitious naturalist who owned a large mineral collection.
The extraction of sugar from beets, for example, which had been initiated by Marggraf in the 1840s, was pursued by German chemists.

 Sugar beet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As early as 1590, the French botanist Olivier de Serres extracted a sweet syrup from beetroot, but the practice did not become common.
The Prussian chemist Andreas Sigismund Marggraf used alcohol to extract sugar from beets (and carrots) in 1747, but his methods did not lend themselves to economical industrial-scale production.
His former pupil and successor Franz Carl Achard began selectively breeding sugar beet from the White Silesian fodder beet in 1784.

Zinc (Zn) was rediscovered by Andreas Sigismund Marggraf in 1746 by heating calamine with charcoal and has a melting point of 787°F. Today, most zinc is produced through the electrolysis of aqueous zinc sulfate.
Roughly one third of all metallic zinc produced today is used in a process known as galvanization.
