Friedrich Julius Otto
Friedrich Julius Otto (born January 8, 1809 in Großenhain ; † January 12, 1870 in Braunschweig ) was a German chemist, pharmacist and university professor.
Life
Friedrich Julius Otto attended school in his birthplace and in Grimma. This was followed by an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Großenhain. He then studied pharmacy and chemistry at the University of Jena with a doctorate in 1831 or 1832. He moved to Braunschweig, first to the agricultural school there, and then in 1835 as an associate professor for pharmacy and other subjects at the Collegium Carolinum . There he received the ordinariate for pharmacy, pharmacognosy and technical chemistry in 1842.
In addition to pharmacy, his field of activity ranged from food chemistry issues to technical chemistry to chemical and toxicological analysis. He was one of the founders of the Stas-Otto separation cycle in pharmaceutical analysis and, together with Thomas Graham, published a basic series of textbooks, "Graham-Otto's detailed textbook on chemistry" in three volumes. He wrote the second volume on inorganic chemistry.
He was the father of Robert Otto .
