Johann Joachim Becher was able to make push for the phlogiston theory in 1667, he tried to show how oxidation occurred by combustion and the rusting of metals. He believed that there was a new element, phlogiston, that only lives in the location where something is being combusted.The theory stated that even though Phlogiston was very hard to detect, it would always be present in flames.
