In 1848, he began his studies at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, where from 1851 he worked as an assistant chemist. In 1856, he received his doctorate of sciences. After serving as chair of chemistry at the Lycée Bonaparte, he became a lecturer at the École Normale Supérieure (from 1868). Beginning in 1874, he was a professor of chemistry to the faculty of sciences in Paris, and in 1884, replaced Charles Adolphe Wurtz as a member of the Académie des sciences.[1]
Troost was the author of Traité élémentaire de chimie (1847; 24th edition, 1948) that became a standard textbook for successive generations of students. His other noted works are:
