Glauber, Thurneisser e outros. Tecnologia química e química fina, conceitos não tão novos assim

Chemical Technology and Fine Chemicals, in the sense we understand them, go back not to Leblanc's soda production process, as many historians of Science and chemists suggest, but to the XVIIth Century, with the "technological" activities of Glauber and others; the Paracelsian Thurneisser can be seen as the first to produce "fine chemicals".
