  2. Calcium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium

    In 2005, about 24000 tonnes of calcium were produced; about half of the world's extracted calcium is used by the United States, with about 80% of the output used each year. [13] In Russia and China, Davy's method of electrolysis is still used, but is instead applied to molten calcium chloride. [13]

  3. Timeline of the discovery and classification of minerals

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_discovery...

    The chemical elements were discovered in identified minerals and with the help of the identified elements the mineral crystal structure could be described. One milestone was the discovery of the geometrical law of crystallization by René Just Haüy , a further development of the work by Nicolas Steno and Jean-Baptiste L. Romé de l'Isle (the ...

    700 BC: Pell's equations are first studied by Baudhayana in India, the first diophantine equations known to be studied. [19] 700 BC: Grammar is first studied in India (note that Sanskrit Vyākaraṇa predates Pāṇini). [20] 600 BC: Thales of Miletus is credited with proving Thales's theorem. [21] [22] [23]

  6. History of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chemistry

    When Davy heard that Berzelius and Pontin prepared calcium amalgam by electrolyzing lime in mercury, he tried it himself. Davy was successful, and discovered calcium in 1808 by electrolyzing a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide. [68] [69] He worked with electrolysis throughout his life and, in 1808, he isolated magnesium, strontium [70] and ...

    Joseph Black (16 April 1728 – 6 December 1799) was a Scottish physicist and chemist, known for his discoveries of magnesium, latent heat, specific heat, and carbon dioxide.

  8. Calcium cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_cycle

    The calcium cycle is a transfer of calcium between dissolved and solid phases. There is a continuous supply of calcium ions into waterways from rocks, organisms, and soils. [1] [2] Calcium ions are consumed and removed from aqueous environments as they react to form insoluble structures such as calcium carbonate and calcium silicate, [1] [3] which can deposit to form sediments or the ...

  9. Calcium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_in_biology

    The US Institute of Medicine (IOM) established Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for calcium in 1997 and updated those values in 2011. [6] See table. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) uses the term Population Reference Intake (PRIs) instead of RDAs and sets slightly different numbers: ages 4–10 800 mg, ages 11–17 1150 mg, ages 18–24 1000 mg, and >25 years 950 mg.
