Live and act

Hilaire-Marin Rouelle is the younger brother of the chemist Guillaume-François Rouelle . He learned chemistry from his brother and supported him in all of his activities. On May 29, 1762, Rouelle was appointed pharmacist by Louis Philippe I de Bourbon, duc d'Orléans . He held this position until 1775, when he resigned in favor of his nephew Jean Rouelle, who took office on May 1, 1775. In 1768 he followed his brother to the post of demonstrator for chemistry at the Jardin du Roi , which he had to give up for health reasons. After his brother's death, from 1770 onwards, Rouelle held courses in chemistry and pharmacy in the shop on Rue Jacob .

Rouelle was a member of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce in London, the Real Academia Española in Madrid and the Academy of Charitable Sciences in Erfurt .

In addition to working on the chemistry of tin , mineral water and precious stones, he investigated the composition of blood . He found, among other things, potassium chloride and sodium chloride . He detected alkali metals in various plants , and in 1777 he published an article on the extraction of phosphoric acid from animal bones. In 1773 he succeeded in using an alcoholic extract from evaporated urine residues to produce contaminated urea , which he called "matiére savonneuse" (soapy substance).
