Paul Sabatier (November 5, 1854 – August 14, 1941) was a French chemist, born at Carcassonne.
Sabatier's earliest research concerned the thermochemistry of sulfur and metallic sulfates, the subject for the thesis leading to his doctorate.
Sabatier was married with four daughters, one of whom wed the famous Italian chemist Emilio Pomilio.

 Paul Sabatier Biography | World of Chemistry
Paul Sabatier, who shared the 1912 Nobel Prize in chemistry with his countryman Victor Grignard, spent thirty-two years of a fifty-year career studying heterogeneous catalysis, especially the catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds over finely divided metals.
Sabatier then thought to use acetylene, an organic compound, but learned that Moissan and François Moreau had passed acetylene over powdered nickel made by heating nickel oxide with hydrogen and reported the formation of only carbon, some liquid hydrocarbons, and a gas they thought to be hydrogen.
For the next thirty-two years, Sabatier and his students investigated the heterogeneous catalysis (a process in which a third substance, or catalyst, influences the rate of a chemical reaction) of a variety of organic reactions by metals and metal oxides.

 Paul Sabatier - Biography
Paul Sabatier was born at Carcassonne in Southern France on November 5, 1854.
Sabatier's earliest researches concerned the thermochemistry of sulphur and metallic sulphates, the subject for his thesis leading to his doctorate, and, in Toulouse, he continued his physico-chemical investigations to sulphides, chlorides, chromates and copper compounds.
Sabatier's work is accurately recorded in the publications of learned societies and his most important book, La Catalyse en Chimie Orgarnique (Catalysis in organic chemistry), was first published in 1913, with a second edition in 1920, of which an English translation by E.E. Reid was published in 1923.

 Paul Sabatier (chemist) Summary
Paul Sabatier was born in Carcassonne on Nov. 5, 1854.
Sabatier's efforts in the field of organic chemistry began about 1897 and led to the enunciation of a theory of catalytic hydrogenation over finely divided metals such as nickel, copper, cobalt, iron, and platinum.
Sabatier then thought to use acetylene, an organic compound,but learned that Moissan and François Moreau had passed acetylene over powdered nickel made by heating nickel oxide with hydrogen and reported the formation of only carbon, some liquid hydrocarbons, and a gas they thought to be hydrogen.

 P. Sabatier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Sabatier was born in Carcassonne (France) where he had the first part of his secondary education before moving in Toulouse.
Most of the subsequent work by Sabatier between 1897 and 1905 dealt with hydrogenation in the vapor phase and hence could not directly be applied to nonvolatile molecules such as glycerides and other fats.
The work of Sabatier contributed to the foundation of important industries of the 20th century but he paid himself little attention to the practical developments of his discoveries.

Organic chemist who shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1912 with Victor Grignard for researches in catalytic organic synthesis, and particularly for discovering the use of nickel as a catalyst in hydrogenation (the addition of hydrogen to molecules of carbon compounds).
Sabatier studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure and under P.E. Marcellin Berthelot at the College de France, taking his doctor's degree in 1880.
Sabatier's various discoveries formed the bases of the margarine, oil hydrogenation, and synthetic methanol industries, as well as of numerous laboratory syntheses.

 Catalysis at the Nanoscale - ORNL Review Vol. 38, No. 3, 2005
In 1897 French chemist Paul Sabatier discovered that passing a mixture of ethylene and hydrogen over a column of heated nickel transformed the ethylene into ethane.
Sabatier, who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1912, later used "finely divided" nickel to catalyze other hydrogenations, the process employed today on oils for food production.
Some suggest that Sabatier's heterogeneous catalysis was among the earliest predecessors of today's nanotechnology.

Using membranes, explorers could extract some of that CO2, which when mixed with hydrogen and heated yields methane--a useful propellant for rockets or rovers.
Water is a byproduct of this type of methane production, called the Sabatier process (discovered by the French chemist Paul Sabatier in the nineteenth century).
Although the Martian atmosphere is almost pure CO2, it's not pure enough for the Sabatier process.

 Paul Sabatier - Nobel Lecture
When heated to a high temperature in a sealed tube this solution brings about intense splitting of the hydroacid, the hydrogen of which may become fixed to an organic substance.
However, the use of sealed tubes containing hydroiodic acid is very dangerous for the chemist, since the pressure of the free hydrogen liberated in the tube may exceed 100 atmospheres, and terrible accidents due to bursting of the tubes have been all too frequent.
The use of these tubes also has another disadvantage, this time of a purely chemical nature; the presence of concentrated hydroiodic acid often causes isomerization of the reducible substance.
