Accepted as member of Paris' Pharmacist College at 22 years, Curaudau was born to Sees in Orne department. He settled pharmacist at Vendome, then in Paris in 1800 where he devoted entirely to chemistry and to adjustment of industrial processes and thermal apparatus. Industrial, he exploited some of his own inventions. Preparation methods for alkaline metals and alum, process adjustments for tanning, soap fabrication, laundering and liquids evaporation, construction of new types of economic stoves and furnaces, and particularly his determining experiments on the chlorine structure, constitute the more important scientific works of this unrecognized chemist which is the subject of this study.
