Nearly a century after Wohler and Bussy liberated beryllium, Alfred Stock and Hans Goldschmidt devised the first commercial process, in which a mixture of the fluorides of beryllium and barium is electrolyzed. The molten beryllium separates out at the water-cooled iron cathode (24). 

This reaction and its applications were discovered developed by Hans Goldschmidt... 

THERMITE. A mixture of ferric oxide and powdered aluminum, usually enclosed in a metal cylinder and used as an incendiary bomb, invented by the German chemist Hans Goldschmidt around 1900. On ignition by a ribbon of magnesium, the reaction produces a temperature of 2200°C, which is sufficient to soften steel. This is typical of some oxide/metal reactions that provide their own oxygen supply and thus are very difficult to stop. 

Hans Goldschmidt, a prominent student of Bunsen who was twenty-one when the first edition of Molecular-Welt appeared, believed that in this "extremely ingenious and witty" work Kopp was subtly try-... 

Goldschmidt process A process for extracting certain metals from their oxides by reduction with aluminum, named for German chemist Hans Goldschmidt (1861-1923), who discovered it. See thermite. 

A century after Vauquelin, in 1894, Hans Goldschmidt in Essen developed the alu-minothermic method. With this technique, metals that are strongly bound to oxygen can be produced in pure form. The reaction between chromium oxide and aluminum...
