Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREMY, EDMOND (18141894) , French chemist, was born at
Versailles
  on the 29th of February 1814. Entering Gay-Lussac's laboratory in 1831, he became preparateur at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1834 and at the College de France in 1837. His next post was that of repetileur at the Ecole Polytechnique, where in 1846 he was appointed professor, and in 185o he succeeded Gay-Lussac in the chair of
chemistry
  at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, of which he was director, in succession to M. E. Chevreul, from 1879 to 1891. He died at Paris on the 3rd of February 1894. His
work
  included investigations of osmic acid, of the ferrates, stannates, plumbates, &c., and of ozone, attempts to obtain free fluorine by the
electrolysis
  of fused fluorides, and the discovery of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and of a
series
  of acides sulphazotes, the precise nature of which
long
  remained a matter of discussion. He also studied the colouring matters of leaves and
flowers
 , the composition of bone, cerebral matter and other animal substances, and the processes of fermentation, in regard to the nature of which he was an opponent of Pasteur's views. Keenly alive to the importance of the technical applications of
chemistry
 , he devoted
special
  attention as a teacher to the training of industrial chemists. In this field he contributed to our knowledge of the manufacture of iron and steel, sulphuric acid, glass and
paper
 , and in particular worked at the saponification of fats with sulphuric acid and the utilization of palmitic acid for candle-making. In the later years of his life he applied himself to the problem of obtaining alumina in the crystalline form, and succeeded in making rubies identical with the natural gem not merely in chemical composition but also in physical properties.
