Phosphorus must have been awe-inspiring to an alchemist: it was a product of man, and seeming to glow with a "life force" that did not diminish over time (and did not need re-exposure to light like the previously discovered

Brand's process yielded far less phosphorus than it could have. The salt part he discarded contained most of the phosphate. He used about 1,500 US gallons (5,700 L) of urine to produce just 120
