1 December 1743 –1 January 1817 ) was a Germanchemist .Klaproth was born in
Wernigerode . During a large portion of his life he followed the profession of anapothecary . After acting as assistant in pharmacies atQuedlinburg ,Hanover ,Berlin andDanzig successively he came to Berlin on the death ofValentin Rose the Elder in 1771 as manager of his business, and in 1780 he started an establishment on his own account in the same city, where from 1782 he was pharmaceutical assessor of the Ober-Collegium Medicum. In 1787 he was appointed lecturer inchemistry to thePrussia n Royal Artillery, and when the university was founded in 1810 he was selected to be the professor of chemistry. He died in Berlin onNew Year's Day in 1817. Klaproth was the leading chemist of his time in Germany.An exact and conscientious worker, he did much to improve and systematize the processes of
analytical chemistry andmineralogy , and his appreciation of the value of quantitative methods led him to become one of the earliest adherents of theLavoisier ian doctrines outsideFrance . Klaproth found the elementtitanium in the orerutile in 1791, believing it to be a new discovery, however,William Gregor is credited with the discovery of titanium, having found the metal in a different ore, (ilmenite ), before Klaproth, although in the same year. He was the first to discoveruranium andzirconium , and to characterize them as distinct elements, though he did not obtain any of them in the puremetal lic state; and he elucidated the composition of numerous substances till then imperfectly known, including compounds of the then newly recognized elements:tellurium ,strontium ,cerium andchromium .His papers, over 200 in number, were collected by himself in "Beiträge zur chemischen Kenntnis der Mineralkörper" (5 vols., 1795-1810) and "Chemische Abhandlungen gemischten Inhalts" (1815). He also published a "Chemisches Wörterbuch" (1807-1810), and edited a revised edition of F. A. C. Gren’s "Handbuch der Chemie" (1806).
Klaproth crater, on the
Moon , is named after him.His son Julius was a famous orientalist.----
