Claude Auguste Lamy

Claude Auguste Lamy ( born July 15, 1820 Ney, Jura, † March 20, 1878 in Paris) was a French chemist and physicist.

Life and work

Lamy was in 1854 professor of physics at the Université de Lille and from 1865 professor of chemistry at the Ecole Centrale Paris.

He discovered in 1862 independently by William Crookes thallium. While Crookes made ​​the discovery by spectroscopic studies of the lead chamber sludge, Lamy was able to isolate the element thallium first by electrolysis.
