Paris Arsenal

Lavoisier, Antoine-Laurent de (1743-1794) French chemist ( father of modern chemistry ) 1764 onward at the Academy of Sciences, 1775 commissioner of the Royal Gunpowder Administration and residence in the Paris Arsenal opening of a laboratory in the Arsenal 1785-1789 collaboration with Claude Berthollet, Antoine de Fourcroy and Guyton de Morveau 1789 co-editor of the newly founded Annales de chimie. Wrote 1789 the revolutionary book Traite elementaire de chimie. 8 May 1794 executed on the guillotine. [Pg.604]

In 1775 Lavoisier was appointed scientific director of the Royal Gunpowder Administration, and he and Marie moved to the Paris Arsenal. Here Lavoisier set up a laboratory and immediately found pro-... [Pg.157]

Dr. Basil T. Fedoroff, scientist and engineer, who worked at Picatinny Arsenal from 1946—1961 and served as an Arsenal consultant from 1961—1975, died in Miami, Florida on 29 December 1976 at the age of 85. Dr. Fedoroff, who was best known as the Chief Editor of the Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items , Volumes 1 to 7 (1960—1975), was bom in Merv, Russia on 8 January 1891. He graduated from the Imperial Tomsk Institute of Technology as a chemical engineer in 1914, and earned his doctorate in the same field from the University of Paris, Sorbonne in 1940... [Pg.4]

The use of plant extracts for insect control dates into antiquity the use of Paris green as an insecticide for control of the Colorado potato beetle in 1867 probably marks the beginning of the modern era of chemical control of injurious insects. The development of lead arsenate followed later in the nineteenth century for gypsy moth control. The commercial production of nicotine insecticides, the production of calcium arsenate at the time of the first world war, and the use of fluorine, arsenical, and cyanide compounds, as well as other inorganic chemicals for insect control, were important steps in pest control. These chemicals were applied largely by dilute high pressure sprays or dusts. [Pg.218]

Inorganic arsenicals such as arsenic trioxide, sodium arsenite, lead arsenate, calcium arsenate and Paris Green have been used for many years as soil sterilants. Organic arsenical herbicides, in which the organic group is bonded directly to the arsenic atom, have been used extensively for post-emergence control of weeds in cotton. Several of the more important herbicides are sodium cacodylate (monosodium dimethylarsenic acid) and sodium salts of methane arsonic acid. The latter compounds exist in two principal forms the monosodium salt (MSMA) at pH6.4 and the disodium salt (DSMA) at pH10.2. [Pg.381]

Most of the compounds of arsenic are toxic when in contact with the skin, when inhaled, or when ingested. As with arsenics cousin phosphorus above it in group 15 of the periodic table, care must be taken when using arsenic. The compound arsenic trioxide (As O ), an excellent weed-killer, is also carcinogenic. Copper acetoarsenite, known as Paris green, is used to spray cotton for boll weevils. A poisonous dose of arsenic as small as 60 miUigrams can be detected within the body by using the Marsh test. [Pg.217]

Paris green - copper acetoarsenite, (CuO) 3 AS2O3 Cu(C2H302) -was widely used in blue flame mixtures until a few years ago. It produces a good blue flame, but it has all but vanished from commercial formulas because of the health hazards associated with its use. (It contains arsenic )... [Pg.92]

Obliged to leave school at the age of eighteen years, he became an apprentice in the Bandry apothecary shop located at the intersection of Rue Pemelle and Rue Saint Denis in Paris. Here his ready knowledge of chemistry enabled him to save the life of a man who had swallowed arsenic in an attempt at suicide (21, 22). In 1872 Moissan decided to give up his position at the pharmacy in order to study under Edmond Fremy at the Musee d Histoire Naturelle. Here he not only made rapid progress in chemistry and pharmacy, but also became a connoisseur of art and litera-... [Pg.764]

University of Paris, Sorbonne (Ingenieur Docteur, 1940). From 1941 he worked in the USA in the field of expls proplnts in private industries and at Picatinny Arsenal where he was the author of a number of technical reports (PATR s) lectures. His most Important publications include A Manual for Explosives Laboratories , Lefax, Philadelphia, Pa, 4 Vo Is (1942—46) in collaboration with G.D. Clift Dictionary of Russian Ammunition and Weapons , PATR 2145(1955) Dictionary of Explosives, Ammunition and Weapons (German Section), PATR 2510(1958) and as. senior author of the 1 Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items , PATR 2700, Vols 1-6 (1960—73).

For the larvae of the Colorado potato beetle the established lethal dose of lead hydrogen arsenate is 0-30 mg. per gram of body weight 6 that of Paris green is less than one-third that amount. The quantity of arsenic remaining in potato fields after treatment is so small as to offer no danger of intoxication.7 Calcium arsenate is most efficient and economical for the control of the potato flea beetle.8 A study of the use of similar dusts for the control of June beetles on oak leaves showed that the death of the beetles, which occurred within 72 hours, was due to their eating the poison and not to contact with the dust. ... [Pg.305]
