Thomas Clark (chemist)
Thomas Clark (1801–1867) was a Scottish chemist.
He became known for the discovery of the phosphate of soda, and the process of lime softening of hard water the 'Clark process'. A ''Clark degree (°Clark)'' of water hardness is defined as one grain (64.8 mg) of CaCO3 per Imperial gallon (4.55 litres) of water, equivalent to 14.254 ppm.
==Life==
Clark was born at Ayr, the son of a shipmaster and a needleworker. He went to school at the Ayr Academy, and then was placed in the counting-house of Charles Macintosh in Glasgow. After a few years he moved to the St. Rollox chemical works.
In 1836 Clark became lecturer on chemistry at the Glasgow Mechanics' Institution. To improve his standing in the scientific world, he entered as a candidate for the M.D. degree of Glasgow in 1827, completing his curriculum in 1831; in the interval he became apothecary to the infirmary (1829). In 1833 he was elected professor of chemistry in Marischal College, Aberdeen, after a competitive examination. He occupied the chair until the fusion of the Marischal College and University with King's College and University in 1860, when he was pensioned; but his career as a teacher had practically come to an end in 1843, due to bad health. He died on 27 November 1867. Clark took a seat in the university court of St. Andrews, as assessor appointed by the rector, John Stuart Mill, who had known him for many years.〔
