Georg Lunge

Georg Lunge (15 September 1839 – 3 January 1923) was a German chemist.

He studied at Heidelberg (under Robert Bunsen) and Breslau, graduating at the latter university in 1859, to work with Ferdinand Cohn.

[1] Lunge's original contributions cover a very wide field, dealing both with technical processes and analysis.

In addition, he was a voluminous writer, enriching scientific literature with many standard works.

His treatises Coal Tar and Ammonia, Destillation des Steinkohlentheers and Sulphuric Acid and Alkali, established his position as the highest authority on these subjects, while the Chemische-technische Untersuchungs-Methoden, to which he contributed, testified to his researches in technical analysis.
