Sejarah
Tellurium was discovered in Transylvania in 1782 by Franz-Joseph Müller von Reichenstein in a mineral containing tellurium and gold.
In 1789, another Hungarian scientist, Pál Kitaibel, also discovered the element independently in an ore from Deutsch-Pilsen which had been regarded as argentiferous molybdenite.
In 1798, it was named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth who earlier isolated it from the mineral calaverite.

Aplikasi
The primary use of tellurium is in alloys, foremost in steel and copper to improve machinability.
Tellurium is used as a basic ingredient in blasting caps, and is added to cast iron for chill control.
It is used in vulcanizing rubber and in catalysts for petroleum cracking.
Tellurium is used as a coloring agent in ceramics.
