Carl Wilhelm Bernhard Scheibler (16 February 1827 – 2 April 1899) was a German chemist.

[2][3][4][5][6] In 1866 Scheibler founded the Zuckerchemische und technische Laboratorium (Laboratory for sugar chemistry and technology) in Berlin, which was financed by the Verein der Deutschen Zuckerrübenindustrie (Association of the German Sugar Beet Industry).

[4][5] After a conflict with the Verein der Deutschen Zuckerrübenindustrie in 1882, he only worked privately at his institute, but he was able to patent several inventions in that time.

For example, he helped his relative Carl Johann Heinrich Scheibler invent a fertiliser, and he also improved smokeless powder for Otto von Bismarck in 1888.

Prior to World War I the beet sugar industry used 100,000 to 150,000 tons of strontium hydroxide for this process per year.
