Should that say "adsorption" or "absorption"? 62.254.128.4 11:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I also was reading this and thought it should say 'adsorption'. I will change it. 75.157.27.217 (talk) 02:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gap in Biography

One wonders how a person could obtain a doctorate degree in chemistry without ever having been a student of that subject (as the article currently makes you assume). The article says he graduated as a physician, and in that course of studies some knowledge of chemistry will be imparted, but how much ? A German language source says that he actually became a student of chemistry at a German university, before he was drafted to the (Austrian-Hungarian) army in WW I. If the date of 1913 for his graduating in medicine is correct, he cannot have persued that second course of studies for very long, though I do not know when precisely he had to start his war service.147.142.186.54 (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
