from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Dittler (born October 29, 1882 in Graz , † November 3, 1945 in Vienna ) was an Austrian mineralogist and chemist.

After graduating from high school in 1902, Dittler first studied law and then natural sciences and in particular chemistry and mineralogy at the University of Graz , where he received his doctorate in 1907. In 1908 he became an assistant at the chair for organic chemistry at the Graz University of Technology, passed his teaching examination in 1908 and in 1909 became an assistant at the chair for mineralogy at the University of Vienna . After his habilitation in 1911, he became a teacher at the State High School in Leoben in 1912 and also a private lecturer at the Montanistische Hochschule Leoben. After military service in the First World War, he was initially a chemistry teacher in Vienna and from 1921, as successor to Cornelio Doelter y Cisterich, associate professor and head of the Mineralogical Institute at the University of Vienna. In 1928 he became a full professor.

He dealt with silicate chemistry (especially feldspars) including behavior at high temperatures and synthesis of feldspars. He also undertook numerous chemical-analytical studies of minerals. Further work concerned mineral deposits and thermal springs and their sinter formation.

In 1925 he became a member of the Leopoldina .
