Edward Adam (11 October 1768 – 11 November 1807[1]) was a French chemist who, beginning in 1800 while studying at Montpellier, invented various still modifications to improve chemical rectification,[2][3][4][5] upon which the industrialization of the manufacture of products such as liquor have since been based.[6]
