__HIstory of Zinc__
 The historical background of Zinc is undistinguished. No one received credit for identifying Zinc. Scientist identified it as an element without saying anything about who found it first. The only person who has anything related with Zinc in the past is Andreas Sigismund Marggraf. He developed a technique for distilling zinc metal from calamine, suggested that this metal can be obtained from other ores, and he tried to discover beet sugar. His procedure for obtaining Zinc from calamine and other ores was made commercially practical in 1752.
