Strontium was recognized as a new element in 1790 when Adair Crawford analyzed a mineral sample from a lead mine near Strontian, Scotland. Until then scientists had thought strontium and barium were the same element, and only bariumâs existence had been recognized. The mineral took its name from the Scottish town and was called strontianite (strontium carbonate).
Discovery of Iridium. Iridium was discovered in 1803, by English chemist Smithson Tennant in London. He found it in the residue left when crude platinum had been dissolved in aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid). Smithson Tennant also discovered osmium at the same time.ource: Iridium is found in natural alloys with platinum and osmium in alluvial deposits. Commercially, iridium is recovered as a by-product from the nickel mining industry. Isotopes: Iridium has 34 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers from 165 to 198.
