Geschichte
In 1900, William Crookes isolated protactinium as an intensely radioactive material from uranium
Protactinium was first identified in 1913 by Kasimir Fajans and Oswald Helmuth Göhring in Germany.
A more stable isotope of protactinium was discovered in 1917 by Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin.

Anwendung
Owing to its scarcity, high radioactivity and high toxicity, there are currently no uses for protactinium outside of scientific research.
With the advent of highly sensitive mass spectrometers, an application of 231Pa as a tracer in geology and paleoceanography has become possible.
Protactinium-231 combined with the thorium-230 can be used to date marine sediments.
