Theodor Döring (chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Döring (born June 11, 1873 in Freiberg ; † November 4, 1947 there ) was a German chemist.

Döring studied at the Bergakademie Freiberg and received his doctorate at the University of Erlangen in 1901 ( The influence of cobalt hydroxide on the effect of halogens on potassium hydroxide ). Then he was again at the Bergakademie as a scientific assistant, after his habilitation in 1902 as a private lecturer (habilitation thesis: The chemical behavior of chromium produced by aluminothermically against hydrochloric acid ) and in the same year as associate professor, when Otto Brunck succeeded Clemens Winkler as a professor . In 1909 he became a professor in the newly created chair for applied chemistry at the Bergakademie. In 1940 he retired.

He dealt with technical and analytical chemistry. According to Helmut Werner , both Döring and Brunck were entirely active in the field of analytical chemistry in the sense of Winkler and neglected inorganic chemistry at the Bergakademie, which only changed in 1935 with the appointment of Robert Höltje as Brunck's successor.

From 1908 to 1926 he worked for the chemists' newspaper .
