abstract = "Dr. Milorad Jovičić graduated from the Belgrade High School's Philosophical Faculty and studied chemistry whith well-known scientists in Zurich,
Berlin, Leipzig and Paris (1890-1896).
He taught chemistry at the High School (1897-1899) and University
(1906-1908), then at the Military Academy, and from 1907 to his retirement
he worked as a chemist in the Mining Department of the Ministry of Economy. After his retirement he did research work in the laboratory of Nobel prize
winner, prof. Pregl in Graz.
He published about one hundred scientific works from different fields of
chemistry: organic, inorganic, analytical, physical chemistry and electrochemistry. His best achievements were in organic chemistry and are being
referred to this day. In the area of analytical chemistry he devoted himself to
the study of mineral ores, mainly of chrome from Kopaonik, where he discovered a new mineral named chromitite.
He published his first work in electrosynthesis together with Sima
Lozanid, but subsequently he continued his research on his own. His early
works, especially those done with Sima Lozanić, are often quoted, but later on
he undertook to prove his thesis on the transformation of elements in electrosynthetic reactions. This wrong hypothesis, to which he held to the end of
his life, did much to diminish the importance of his other work and was partly responsible for his name being effaced in our history of science.
Milorad Jovičić was corresponding member of the Serbian Royal Academy, member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, and member
of the Italian Academy in Palermo which awarded him a gold medal for his
contribution to science (1908). His biography and bibliography were mentioned in Pogendorff's encyclopaedia of 1904 and 1924.",
