Looking Back to the Turn of the Last Century. . . l l Fear that soon it would not be possible to feed all the people in the world. Chemical Engineers solved the problem – Haber (1918 Nobel Prize)/Bosch (1931 Nobel Prize) – Process for synthesis of ammonia » 350 to 500 ºC & ~ 1. 1 Tons/in 2 l And now at the turn of the 20 th century: – Global warming – Protection of the environment – Depletion of natural resources (synthetic fuels)
Ammonia Synthesis Plant
