- 22:0722:07, 8 November 2022 diff hist +165 Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler Changed date of death from 1845 to 1843 and changed reference that gave the date as 1845. That source, a guide book of the cemetery where he is buried would seem reliable, but all US government sources give it as 1843. I found sources at Hathi Trust from 1844 that refer to him as "the late" https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435060850468&view=1up&seq=275&q1=hassler or refer to his death "last year" https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015050589723&view=1up&seq=535&q1=hassler Tag: Visual edit

10 October 2018
- 18:1418:14, 10 October 2018 diff hist +38 Murray Raney →Development of Raney nickel: added 1:1 ratio to nickel:silicon alloy; added purpose of sodium hydroxide (to remove the silicon). The alloy is not the catalyst; the catalyst is almost all nickel left after the alloying material is dissolved out. Both of these are mentioned in the patent referenced.
- 17:5817:58, 10 October 2018 diff hist 0 Murray Raney I moved the "lucky" quotation two paragraphs earlier. Logically, it ought not to apply to the Al version of the catalyst since that was not the "first time" or even the first patent. In the source of the quotation, the formulation of the catalyst is not specified.
