Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville (11 March 1818 – 1 July 1881) was a French chemist.
He was born in the island of
In 1841, he began his experiments with investigations of oil of
The artificial preparation of minerals, especially of apatite and isorhor-phous minerals and of crystalline oxides, was another subject in which he made many experiments. But his best known contribution to general chemistry is his work on the phenomena of reversible reactions, which he comprehended under a general theory of "dissociation". He first took up the subject about 1857, and it was in the course of his investigations on it that he devised the apparatus known as the "Deville hot and cold tube."[1]
Deville was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1860.[3] In 1885, the rue Sainte-Claire-Deville in the 12th arrondissement de Paris was named in his honour.
