Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GANNAL, JEAN NICOLAS (1791-1852) , French chemist, was born at Sarre-Louis on the 28th of July 1791. In 18o8 he entered the medical department of the French army, and witnessed the
retreat
  from Moscow in 1812. After the downfall of the
empire
  he worked at the 1 cole Polytechnique in Paris and subsequently at the Faculty of Sciences as assistant to L. J. Thenard. His contributions to technical
chemistry
  included a method of refining borax, the introduction of elastic rollers formed of gelatin and
sugar
  for use in printing, and processes for manufacturing glue and gelatin, lint,
white
  lead, &c. The Institute awarded him a Montyon prize in 1827 for his advocacy of chlorine as a remedy in pulmonary phthisis, and again in 1835 for his discovery of the efficacy of solutions of
aluminium
  acetate and chloride for preserving anatomical preparations. In the latter
part
  of his
life
  he turned his attention to embalmment, his method depending on the injection of solutions of
aluminium
  salts into the arteries. He died at Paris in January 1852. His son
FELnc, born in 1829, also devoted himself to the question of the disposal of the dead, among his publications being Mort reelle et mort apparente (r868), Inhumation et
cremation
  (1876), and Les Cimetieres (1885), a
work
  on the history and law of burial, of which only one volume appeared.
