J. J. Becher


 

Johann Joachim Becher (1635—1682), was a German chemist, physician, scholar and adventurer.

Phlogiston

Becher was the father of the phlogiston theory. When a substance was burnt he supposed that the terra pinguis was liberated, and this conception is the basis on which G. E. Stahl founded his doctrine of "phlogiston".
