German
  metallurgical chemist, was born at Kleinwaltersdorf, near Freiberg in
Saxony
 , on the 2nd of January, 1800. ,His father, though only a poor working miner, found the means to have him educated first at the Bergschule and then at. the.Berg'-akademie of Freiberg, and after he had completed his courses there in 182o he obtained employment, chiefly as assayer, in connexion with the royal mines and metal works. Having taken up the
idea
  of quantitative mouth-blowpipe assaying, which was then almost unknownexcept that E Harkort (1797-1835) in 1827, while a student in Freiberg
Academy
 , had worked out a blowpipe assay for silverhe succeeded in devising trustworthy methods for all the
ordinary
  useful metals; in particular his modes of assaying for nickel and
cobalt
  quickly found favour with metallurgists. He also devoted himself to the improvement of qualitative blowpipe
analysis
 ; and summed up his experience in a treatise Die'Probierkunst mit dem Lothrohr (1835), which' became a standard authority. In 184o he was made
chief
  of the royal department of assaying. Two years later he was deputed to complete, a course of lectures on metallurgy at the Bergakademie in place of W. A. Lampadius (1772.1842), whom
he subsequently succeeded as professor. He died at Freiberg on the 22nd of January 1858.
In addition to many memoirs on metallurgical subjects he also published Die metallurgischen Rostprocesse theoretisch betrachrtet
