from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruno Sansoni (born April 2, 1927 in Wunsiedel , Germany ; † April 30, 2018 ) was a German analytical chemist .

Bruno Sansoni was the son of the Italian-German sculptor Artur Sansoni and the German painter Helene Sansoni-Balla . In his youth he enjoyed art lessons. After his release from captivity in the Second World War, he was for a short time the private secretary of the Russian-German polar explorer Leonid Breitfuß .

From 1946 to 1955 he studied chemistry and geology in Erlangen, Regensburg and Munich. After receiving his doctorate in chemistry in 1956 at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , he went to Denmark's Technical University in Copenhagen to study with Niels Janniksen Bjerrum , but in the same year switched to Carl Mahr at the Chemistry Institute at the Philipps University in Marburg . There he completed his habilitation in analytical chemistry in 1965 with the thesis New chemical working methods through heterogeneous reactions: redox exchangers and numerometric titrations and became a private lecturer at the Institute for Nuclear Chemistry.

In 1966 he became head of the radiochemical-analytical department in the Institute for Radiation Protection at the then Society for Radiation Research in Neuherberg near Munich under Felix Wachsmann and Wolfgang Jacobi . In 1973 he received a professorship for analytical chemistry at the Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture at the Technical University of Munich ( Weihenstephan Science Center ). In 1976 he moved to the Jülich nuclear research facility , where he was head of the central department for chemical analyzes. After his retirement in 1992, Bruno Sansoni moved to Bad Abbach and continued to work in his company, International Environment Consulting .

His areas of work were the trace analysis of elements and radionuclides in the environment, the development of chemical methods through heterogeneous reactions between solutions and insoluble reagents, and radon balneology in the Fichtel Mountains .

Bruno Sansoni is the father of the plastic artist Andreas Sansoni and the gardener Maria Sansoni-Köchel.
