Zinc was discovered as a separate element in 1746 by Andreas Sigismund Marggraf, a German chemist who isolated the pure metal by heating the zinc ore called calamine after mixing it with charcoal. The charcoal separated the metallic zinc from the sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in calamine (Zn4Si2O7(OH)2·H2O).
