Robert Kremann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Kremann (born August 16, 1879 in Iglau , Moravia , † September 14, 1937 in Graz ) was an Austrian chemist.

Kremann studied chemistry in Graz and Vienna, among others with Zdenko Hans Skraup in Graz and then in Germany with the physical chemists Walther Nernst , Robert Luther , Karl Elbs and William Küster . In 1902 he received his doctorate in Graz , where he was assistant, 1905 private lecturer and from 1908 extraordinary and from 1919 full professor of physical chemistry.

In 1910 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . In 1928 he became a corresponding member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences and received the Haitlinger Prize in 1907 (for work on ester saponification) and 1925 (for the discovery of the electrolyte effect in alloys).

He dealt with many areas of physical chemistry such as electrochemistry (electrolytic behavior of metals and alloys), chemical equilibria and the relationship between physical properties and chemical composition.
