I translate the first paragraph, and added a few additions.
<-------->
Sima Lozanic (1847-1935) was a renowned Serbian chemist, president of the Royal Serbian Academy, and a ?first president? of Belgrade University
Lozanic was born on February 24, 1847 in Belgrade. He finished secondary school in Belgrade, later went to study under Johannes Wislicenus in Zurich and August Wilhelm von Hofmann in Berlin. He received his doctorate from Zurich University in 1870. He was a professor at the Velike Skola in 1872, later moving to the Philosophy department at Belgrade Univeristy in 1924. ? He was among the previous eight regular professors who ran the entire faculty .Lozanic thereafter was chosen as the first director of Belgrade University.
<-------> got up to here in translation
Ostale su zabelejene њegove re4i koјe јe izgovorio priliko sve4anog otvaraњa 1905: „Na6e nekda6њe verovaњe da ћe se Srbstvo uјediniti ne bukvarom, veћ orujјem, bilo јe kobno za po na6u narodnu misao. Јa veruјem obrnuto da ћe prosveta biti glavni 4inilac u re6eњu tog bitnog na6eg pitaњa, i da bi ono bilo veћ re6eno da smo prosvetu boљe negovali. Veruјem stoga 6to јe prosveta sila koјa postije sve smerove. Da nam јe prosveta bila napredniјa, sve bi u jivotu na6eg naroda bilo savr6eniјe pa i uspe6niјe.“
Odrjavao nastavu iz hemiјe na nivou veћine evropskih univerziteta, organizovao dobro opremљenu laboratoriјu i biblioteku, dao prve univerzitetske uџbenike iz hemiјe. Napisao јe vi6e uџbenika iz raznih oblasti hemiјe: neorganske, organske, analiti4ke hemiјe, kao i iz hemiјske tehnologiјe. Њegovi uџbenici su bili na evropskom nivou, a u izvesnim oblastima su i predњa4ili. Tako na primer, Lozaniћev uџbenik iz neorganske hemiјe јe bio prvi evropski univerzitetski uџbenik u kome se pomiњe Mendeљeјevљev periodni sistem elemenata i јedan od prvih koјi sadrji poglavљe iz termohemiјe. Њegovi uџbenici iz organske hemiјe takoђe spadaјu u prve kњige u koјima su јediњeњa predstavљena strukturnim formulama a klasifikaciјa izvr6ena prema strukturnim grupama. Bavio se nau4nim i stru4nim radom iz skoro svih oblasti hemiјe; traјne vrednosti su radovi iz elektrosinteze, u koјima јe ispitivao reakciјe CO i CO2 sa drugim supstancama pod deјstvom tihog elektri4nog prajњeњa. Obјavio јe preko 200 nau4nih radova iz primeњene i eksperimentalne hemiјe.
Izvr6io јe prvu analizu termalne vode Gamzigradske baњe 1889. godine.
Postao јe 4lan Srpskog u4enog dru6tva 30. јanuara 1873. Dopisni 4lan Srpske kraљevske akademiјe postao јe 23. јanuar 1888, a redovni 4lan od 6. јanuara 1890. Bio јe u dva navrata predsednik Srpske kraљevske akademiјe 1899-1900 i 1903-1906. Prvi put јe postavљen ukazom od 1. septembra 1899, a drugi put 1. februara 1903. Predsednik Srpskog hemiјskog dru6tva bio јe u periodu 1907-1912.
Bio јe ministar privrede (u periodima 12. јanuar - 21. mart 1894, 15. oktobar 1894. - 25. јun 1895. i 11. oktobar 1897. - 30. јun 1899.), ministar inostranih dela (u periodima 21. mart - 15. oktobar 1894. i 23. decembar 1902. - 23. mart 1903.), diplomata i u4esnik svih tada6њih ratova. Lozaniћ јe dao pun doprinos unapreђeњu privrede, industriјe, politike, kulture i nauke u Srbiјi. Bio јe poslanik srpske vlade u Londonu od 1900. Bio јe predsednik Srpskog komiteta za pomoћ izbeglicama od 1916. i na 4elu misiјe u SAD za pomoћ i podr6ku Srbiјi od 1917.
Progla6en јe za prvog po4asnog doktora Beogradskog univerziteta.
Preminuo јe 7. јuna 1935. u Beogradu, u 89. godini jivota.
Њegov sin Milivoјe S. Lozaniћ bio јe takoђe hemi4ar i nasledio ga јe na univerzitetu kao profesor hemiјskih predmeta.
Њemu u 4ast odrjana јe izlojba pod nazivom „Sima Lozaniћ u Srpskoј nauci i kulturi“ u organizaciјi SANU u periodu јanuar-mart 1993, izlojba јe bila u Galeriјi SANU u knez-Mihailovoј ulici u Beogradu. Њegov jivot i delo naro4ito јe prou4avala hemi4arka Snejana Boјoviћ koјa јe napisala kњigu „Sima Lozaniћ“, u izdaњu izdava4kog preduzeћa „Princip“ 1996. na 262 strane.
Unsure of remainder - need some aid.

Ugh... that above is a rather weird mixture of Serbian cyrillic and latinic alphabet and look-alike numbers :)... Let me do it slowly, from the cyrillic original here:

Sima Lozanić (1847-1935) is a Serbian chemist, president of the Serbian Royal Academy and the first principal of University of Belgrade.
He was born February 24th, 1847 in Belgrade.
He completed legal studies in Belgrade, studied chemistry from prof. Wislicenius in Zurich and prof. Hoffman in Berlin. He earned his doctorate degree March 19th, 1870 at University of Zurich. He was a professor in "Great school" (serbian: "Velika škola") from 1872 and Faculty of Philosophy of University of Belgrade until 1924.
When University of Belgrade was founde in 1905 he was among the first eight full-time professors who selected the entire remaining academic staff. Sima Lozanić was then chosen as the first principal of University of Belgrade. His 1905 opening ceremony words remained recorded:
- "Our previous belief that Serbian people will unite not by spelling books but by weapons was disastrous for our people's intellect. I believe the contrary - that education will be the main factor in solving that important question of ours and that it would have already been solved if we had better cared for our education. Therefore, I believe that education is the force that achieves all the goals. Had our education been more advanced, everything in the life of our people would have been better and more successful."
His chemistry classes were at the level of majority of European universities, organized well-equipped laboratory and library and produced first chemistry textbooks. He wrote a number of textbooks covering various subject areas of chemistry: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Chemical technology. His textbooks were at the European level and in some areas have surpassed it. For example, Lozanić's Inorganic Chemistry textbook was the first European university textbook with Dmitriy Ivanovich Mendeleyev's periodic table of elements and one of the first containing a chapter on Thermochemistry. His Organic Chemistry textbooks are among the first books in which the compounds were represented by structural formulas.
He also did scientific and professional work related to all areas of Chemistry; lasting values are the works about Electrosynthesis in which he researched the reactions of CO and CO2 with other substances under the effect of electric discharge. He published over 200 scientific papers in applied and experimental chemistry.
He performed the first analysis of thermal water of Gamzigrad spa in 1889.
He became a member of Serbian Academic Society January 30th, 1873, associate member of Serbian Royal Academy January 23rd 1888 and became a full member [[January 6]th, 1890. He was a president of Serbian Royal Academy twice - 1899 to 1900 and 1903 to 1906. From 1907 to 1912 he was a preseident of Serbian Chemistry Society.
He was a minster of industry January 12th 1894 to March 21st 1894, October 15th 1894 to June 25th 1895 and October 11th 1897 to June 30th 1899, minister of foreign affairs March 21st 1894 to October 15th 1894 and December 23rd, 1902 to March 23rd, 1903 and a diplomat and participant in all wars of the time. Lozanić was the ambassador of Serbian government in London from 1900. He was a president of Serbian refugee aid comittee from 1916 and a head of USA mission for aid and support of Serbia from 1917.
He was voted the first honored doctor of sciences of University of Belgrade.
He died June 7th 1935 in Belgrade, in the age of 89.
His son Milivoje S. Lozanić wal also a chemist and inherited his university position as the professor of Chemistry courses.
An exhibition "Sima Lozanić in Serbian science and culture" was held in his honor, organized by Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA, Serbian language: SANU - "Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti") from January to March 1993, in Academy's gallery in Knez Mihailova street in Belgrade. His life and work was especially investigated by chemist Snežana Bojović, who wrote a 262-page book "Sima Lozanić" (ISBN 86-82273-04-7) , published by the publishing agency "Princip" in 1996.

That'd be it... That is just a translation. I think the article itself needs some improvement (too many of "he this, he that" repetitions), but I'll let someone else help with that. I translated categorization and images as well, but did not verify whether they exist. --Aleksandar Šušnjar 17:38, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
BTW, this article should be named "Sima Lozanić" (name ends in ć, not c) with a redirect from the English-only alphabet name "Sima Lozanic" and possibly even "Sima Lozanich".

[edit] Chemical Technology = Biotechnology OR Chemical engineering?
I've seen "Chemical Technology" linked to "Biotechnology". I can't say what it is as I am a computer, not chemistry, "guy" but I don't think that was it. I tried to find a better match in Wikipedia and I found Chemical engineering, but still not sure. Anyone?
--Aleksandar Šušnjar 03:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Chemical Technology became an article on a journal supplement of the Royal Society of Chemistry, but has been merged into Royal Society of Chemistry. Chemical technology redirected there, but I have changed the redirect to Chemical industry and altered your link above to small "t" technology. I am chnaging lots of links, so that is how I got here. --Bduke 02:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
