Book Description

Excerpt from The Fixation of Atmospheric Nitrogen Comparatively little work of importance on the theoretical Side of nitrogen fixation has appeared since the first edition of this book was published. On the other hand, the development of fixation processes on the technical Side received an enormous impulse under the stress of war conditions. The chief progress has been in the production of synthetic ammonia by the Haber and cyanamide processes, and in the methods of oxidising ammonia to nitric acid. The expansion in the production of synthetic nitrogen compounds has been remarkable. The estimated production of the various nitrogenous compounds for 1917, in Short tons of nitrogen, is given as follows by the American Ordnance Department.
