Robert Bunsen - Wikipedia The Bunsen–Kirchhoff Award for spectroscopy is named after Bunsen and Kirchhoff Bunsen also developed several gas-analytical methods, was a pioneer in photochemistry, and did early work in the field of organic arsenic chemistry
Robert Bunsen | Inventor, Physicist, Spectroscopy | Britannica Named for Robert Bunsen, the German chemist who introduced it in 1855 (from a design by Peter Desdega, who likely modified an earlier design by Michael Faraday), the Bunsen burner was the forerunner of the gas-stove burner and the gas furnace
Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff - Science History Institute Bunsen’s most important work was in developing several techniques used in separating, identifying, and measuring various chemical substances He also made a number of improvements in chemical batteries for use in isolating quantities of pure metals—including one known as the Bunsen battery
Robert Wilhelm Bunsen - Michigan State University He developed methods of gas analysis, iodimetry, spectral analysis and flame tests Instruments he invented include the ice calorimeter, carbon zinc battery, filter pump, Bunsen valve (slit in a rubber tube), grease spot photometer and, of course, the gas burner
Robert Wilhelm Bunsen - National MagLab He also was the inventor of what has come to be known as the Bunsen cell (a carbon-zinc electric cell) and the grease-spot photometer, which he developed in order to quantify the amount of light produced by the cell
Robert Wilhelm Bunsen - Corrosion Doctors Bunsen devised a sensitive ice calorimeter that measured the volume rather than the mass of the ice melted This allowed him to measure the metals' specific heat to find their true atomic weights
Bunsen burner - Wikipedia The Bunsen Desaga design generated a hot, sootless, non-luminous flame by mixing the gas with air in a controlled fashion before combustion Desaga created adjustable slits for air at the bottom of the cylindrical burner, with the flame issuing at the top
Scientist of the Day - Robert Bunsen, German Chemist Robert Bunsen, a German chemist, died Aug 16, 1899, at age 88 Bunsen taught at several German universities, such as those in Göttingen, Kassel, Marburg, and Breslau, before accepting a professorship at the Univefsity of Heidelberg in 1853, where he remained for the next 36 years
