Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad pruža sveobuhvatan pregled života i djelovanja Hrvoja Ivekovića (1901. – 1991.). Svoje akademsko obrazovanje stekao je u području kemije, studirajući na Visokim tehničkim školama u Brnu te Zagrebu gdje je i diplomirao (1924.). Iveković je bio redoviti profesor opće i anorganske kemije sa stehiometrijom na Farmaceutskom fakultetu (kasnije Farmaceutsko-biokemijski fakultet) i predstojnik Zavoda za anorgansku, analitičku i fizikalnu kemiju (kasnije Zavod za opću i anorgansku kemiju) od 1945. pa sve do umirovljenja (1971.). Zaslužan je za obnavljanje rada Farmaceutskog fakulteta (1945.) gdje je u nekoliko mandata obnašao dužnost dekana. Bio je rektor Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (1954. – 1956.). Njegov značajan doprinos znanosti ogleda se u njegovim istraživanjima u području kemije, posebice u tehnologiji dobivanja i iskorištavanja boksita te kemiji pitkih, podzemnih, termalnih i mineralnih voda. Razvio je originalan postupak ekstrakcije aluminija i nekih rijetkih metala iz boksita koristeći acetilaceton. Dobitnik je Nagrade za životno djelo (1976.). Sudjelovao je aktivno u kulturnom i javnom životu promovirajući hrvatsku kulturu i jezik. Bio je predsjednik Matice hrvatske od 1968. do 1970. godine.

Abstract (english)

This master's thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the life and work of Hrvoje Iveković (1901 - 1991). He obtained his academic education in the field of chemistry, studying at the High Technical Schools in Brno and Zagreb, where he graduated in 1924. Iveković was a full time professor of general and inorganic chemistry with stoichiometry at the Faculty of Pharmacy (later the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry) and the head of the Department of Inorganic, Analytical, and Physical Chemistry (later the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry) from 1945 until his retirement in 1971. He played a significant role in revitalizing the Faculty of Pharmacy in 1945 and served as dean for several terms. He also served as the Rector of the University of Zagreb from 1954 to 1956. His notable contributions to science include his research in the field of chemistry, particularly in the technology of obtaining and utilizing bauxite and the chemistry of potable, underground, thermal, and mineral waters. He developed an original method for extracting aluminum and some rare metals from bauxite using acetylacetone. He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1976. Iveković was actively involved in cultural and public life, promoting Croatian culture and language. He served as the president of the Matrix Croatica (Matica hrvatska) from 1968 to 1970.
