Meaning and History of Bismuth

Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals. It is a synthetic crystal with metallic colors. Each piece is unique . It’s a real element of our culture.

It is very close to lead and has long been confused with other metals such as tin or lead. Bismuth metal is used in the manufacture of cast iron welds.

Bismuth is the chemical element with atomic number 83 and symbol Bi. It is the fifth and last element of the pnictogen group (group no. 15). It is usually in the form of a white, crystalline, fragile metal with a pinkish tinge . It is also found in metallic blue with gold reflection, purple green.

It was known in 1480 but was confused with other cultural productions during the Middle Ages. In medieval times it was called "bisemutum".

Claude-François Geoffroy is a French apothecary and chemist. He is credited with the discovery of Bismuth in France in 1753 . The chemical symbol Bi was proposed by the Swedish chemist Berzelius in 1814. He wrote a book on his discovery: Grandjean de Fouchy, “Sur le bismuth”, in History of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Even if it was known and used, for its alloys or its use in pigments for painting , by men since Antiquity , Bismuth has been produced industrially since the 19th century in Germany. The rise of this production occurred during the 20th century with a large production of alloys from Bismuth and its integration into the pharmaceutical industry.

Bismuth has been used in medicine and pharmacy for centuries . It is still present in the composition of certain medications but at very low doses.

Bismuth is a rare element on Earth . Its clarke amounts to 0.2 g per tonne. In addition, it is more present in the continental crust than in the Earth's mantle.

It is found in hydrothermal veins but also in certain magmatic rocks such as porphyries.

In its metallic form, Bismuth is widely used for the manufacture of molds with complex shapes , particularly for small mechanical parts.

In its oxidized form, Bismuth has an important place in the glass and ceramic industry , particularly for the creation of white or green colored pigments and in the chemical industry for the creation of acrylic fibers for example.
