Abstract

To Antoine-Jerôme Balard (1802-1876) we owe the discovery of
bromine, oxamic acid, hypochlorous acid, and chlorine monoxide, and of having
been the mentor of Pasteur and Berthelot. The process that he developed for
the production large quantities of bromine is basically the same that is nowadays
used in the industrial manufacture of the element.
