THOMSEN, HANS PETER JORGEN JULIUS (18261909) , Danish chemist, was born in
Copenhagen
  on the 16th of
February
  1826, and spent his life in that city. From 1847 to 1856 he was engaged in teaching
chemistry
  at the
Polytechnic
 , of whichfrom 1883 to 1892 he acted as director, and from 1856 to 1866 he was on the staff of the military high school. In 1866 he was appointed professor of
chemistry
  at the university, and retained that chair until his retirement from active
work
  in 1891. His name is famous for his researches in thermochemistry, and, especially between 1869 and 1882, he carried out a
great
  number of determinations of the heat evolved or absorbed in chemical reactions, such as the formation of salts, oxidation and reduction, and the combustion of organic compounds. His collected results were published in 18821886 in four volumes under the title Thermochemische Untersuchungen, and also a resume in English under the title Thermochemistry in I9o8. In 1857 he established in
Copenhagen
  a process for manufacturing soda from
cryolite
 , obtained from the west
coast
  of Greenland. He died on the 13th of
February
  1909. His brother, Carl August Thomsen (18341894), was lecturer on technical chemistry at the Copenhagen
Polytechnic
 , and a second brother,
Thomas
  Gottfried Thomsen (18411901), was assistant in the chemical laboratory at the university till 1884, when he abandoned science for theology, subsequently becoming minister at Norup and Randers.
