Pure chemistry Denmark

This paper analyses the establishment and early history of the Danish Chemical Society with particular focus on the relationship between the different groups of members. Furthermore, it will discuss how the definition of a chemist in Denmark in the analysed period was influenced by the structure of the Danish Chemical Society and how this affected the balance between pure and applied chemistry, and between the producers and applieants of chemieal knowledge. But before further introduction of the chemieal society, it is necessary to provide some background information on the Danish chemical community around 1880.
