The industrial synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen has been of greater fundamental
importance to the modern world than the invention of the airplane, nuclear energy, space flight, or
television. The expansion of the world's population from 1.6 billion people in 1900 to today's six
billion would not have been possible without the synthesis of ammonia. In Enriching the Earth,

Extractions: From 1886 until 1891 he studied chemistry at the University of Heidelberg under
Bunsen, at the University of Berlin under A.W. Hoffmann, and at the Technical School at
Charlottenberg under Liebermann. After completing his University studies he voluntarily worked for
a time in his father's chemical business and, being interested in chemical technology, he also
worked for a while under Professor Georg Lunge at the Institute of Technology at Zurich . He then
finally decided to take up a scientific career and went for one and a half years to work with Ludwig
Knorr at Jena, publishing with him a joint paper on diacetosuccinic ester. Still uncertain whether to
devote himself to chemistry or physics, he was offered in 1894, and accepted, an assistantship at
Karlsruhe by the Professor of Chemical Technology there, Hans Bunte. Here he remained until
1911. Bunte was especially inlterested in combustion chemistry and Carl Engler, who was also
there, introduced Haber to the study of petroleum and Haber's subsequent work was greatly
influenced by these two colleagues.

The name fritz haber has long been associated with the wellknown process of worldof dependence on Chilean
ammonia, this twentieth century nobel prize winner
Extractions: The name Fritz Haber has long been associated with the well-known process of synthesizing
ammonia from its elements. While primarily known for developing a process which ultimately relieved the world of
dependence on Chilean ammonia, this twentieth century Nobel prize winner was also involved in the varying
fortunes of Germany in World War I and in the rise to power of the Nazi regime. Haber was born on December
9, 1868 in Prussia. He was the son of a prosperous German chemical merchant and worked for his father after
being educated in Berlin, Heidelberg, and Zurich. After a short time, Haber left his father's business and took up
research in organic chemistry at the University of Jena. The university's strictly orthodox methods soon led him to
leave for a junior teaching position at the Technische Hochschule of Karlsruhe.
At the age of 25, Haber immediately threw himself, with
tremendous energy, into teaching and research in
physical chemistry, a subject in which he was essentially
self-taught. Quickly he gained respect and recognition
for his research in electrochemistry and thermodynamics.
He also authored several books arising from his research. During the first decade of the
twentieth century, the world-wide demand for nitrogen based fertilizers exceeded the existing supply. The largest
source of the chemicals necessary for fertilizer production was found in a huge guano deposit (essentially sea bird
droppings) that was 220 miles in length and five feet thick, located along the coast of Chile.

Extractions: Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1918 Ammonia (NH,) is synthesized by attaching three hydrogen atoms
to an atom of nitrogen. This compound forms the basis of nitrogen fertilizers, 80 million tons of which are
produced worldwide every year. Ammonia is easy to liquefy, making it an excellent coolant and solvent. As a gas
it is soluble in water, and in this form is a commonly used chemical reagent. Fritz Haber was proposed as the
Nobel prize winner in 1918 for the "synthesis of ammonia from its elements". This was without a doubt one of the
most controversial Nobel prize awards ever. So soon after the First World War many scientists had difficulty in
understanding why the prize should go to the researcher responsible for producing poison gas for the German
army. Fritz Haber was born on 9 December 1868 in Breslau (now Wroclaw in Poland). He studied in Berlin and
Heidelberg and was awarded a doctorate in organic chemistry by the Technical University in Berlin
Charlottenburg in 1891. He then went to the

Richard Willstatter est né le 13 août 1872 à Karlsruhe, dans le pays de Bade, en Allemagne. Il fait ses
études dans sa ville natale, puis à Nuremberg. Ayant choisi la chimie, il s'intéresse aussi à la physiologie et
à la médecine, ce qui marquera une grande partie de son oeuvre. Il complète sa formation à Munich
auprès de Baeyer, et s'oriente vers l'étude des alcaloïdes sous l'influence d'Alfred Einhom; c'est ainsi qu'il
découvrira la novocaïne. Après plusieurs années de recherches, il établit la structure des alcaloïdes
du coca, réussissant en 1901 la synthèse de la tropine, celle de la tropinone (1), et la synthèse totale de la
cocaïne. Il met au point des méthodes de séparation d'intermédiaires instables dans les réactions
d'oxydation de dérivés benzéniques et naphtaléniques, ce qui lui permet d'élucider la nature des
composants du colorant noir, obtenu par oxydation de l'aniline. En 1902, il est nommé professeur associé Ã
Munich, et trois ans plus tard il occupe les fonctions de professeur titulaire à Zurich. C'est là qu'il commence
ses études sur la chlorophylle. Ce travail impliquait la décomposition partielle de la substance par attaque
acide et basique, suivie de la synthèse à partir des produits de dégradation. Willsthtter peut ainsi établir
que la chlorophylle est une combinaison complexe de magnésium (3%)

biography from the nobel e-Museum.
Extractions: By 1905 Fritz Haber (1868–1934) had reached the objective long sought by chemists of fixing
nitrogen from air. Using high pressure and a catalyst, he directly reacted nitrogen gas, which was generated by the
Linde process, and hydrogen gas to create ammonia. The process was soon scaled up by BASF's great chemist
and engineer, Carl Bosch—hence the name "Haber-Bosch" process. The nitric acid produced from the
ammonia was then used to manufacture agricultural fertilizers as well as explosives. Haber was from a well-to-do
German-Jewish family involved in various manufacturing enterprises. He studied at several German universities,
earning a doctorate in organic chemistry in 1891. After a few years of moving from job to job, he settled into the
Department of Chemical and Fuel Technology at the Polytechnic in Karlsruhe, Germany, where he mastered the
new subject of physical chemistry. His research in physical chemistry eventually led to the Haber-Bosch process.
In 1911 he was invited to become director of the Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at the new
Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft in Berlin, where academic scientists, government, and industry cooperated to
promote original research. The Haber-Bosch process is generally credited with keeping Germany supplied with
fertilizers and munitions during World War I, after the British naval blockade cut off supplies of nitrates from
Chile. During the war Haber threw his energies and those of his institute into further support for the German side.
He developed a new weapon—poison gas, the first example of which was chlorine gas—and supervised its
initial deployment on the Western Front at Ypres, Belgium, in 1915. His promotion of this frightening weapon
precipitated the suicide of his wife, who was herself a chemist, and many others condemned him for his wartime
role. There was great consternation when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for 1918 for the synthesis
of ammonia from its elements.

Strassmann (1902–1980) were the first to recognize that the uranium atom under bombardment by neutrons,
actually split. With doctorate in hand from the University of Marburg in Germany, Hahn intended to make a career
as an industrial chemist in a company with international business connections. He traveled to England to improve
his English-language skills and found a job as an assistant in William Ramsay's laboratory at University College,
London. Hahn quickly demonstrated his great skill as an experimentalist by isolating radioactive thorium. After
working with Ernest Rutherford in Montreal, he joined Emil Fischer's institute at the University of Berlin, where he
rose through the faculty ranks. Otto Hahn Hahn went in search of a collaborator with whom to pursue studies in
experimental radioactivity and teamed up with Lise Meitner. She had come to Berlin to attend Max Planck's
lectures in theoretical physics after receiving her doctorate in physics from the University of Vienna in 1905—the
second doctorate in science from that university granted to a woman. In the first year of the Hahn–Meitner
partnership they had to work in a remodeled carpenter's shop because the university did not yet accept women on
an official basis. In 1912 their research group was relocated to the new Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft, where Fritz
Haber was head of the physical chemistry institute, Hahn was head of the radioactivity institute, and from 1918,
Meitner was head of the radioactivity institute's physics department. During World War I, Hahn served in the
German gas warfare service headed by Haber, and Meitner volunteered as an X-ray nurse for the Austrian army.

Extractions: Article in a Box Fritz Haber "We congratulate you on this triumph in the service of ... humanity.
Please accept ." So introduced, Fritz Haber accepted the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his method of
synthesizing ammonia from its elements, nitrogen and hydrogen. This marked the culmination of his epic
experiments on the thermodynamics of the ammonia equilibrium. This was also the harbinger of a technological
revolution that dispelled the Malthusian threat of shortage. In ammonia synthesis, as elsewhere, Haber epitomized
a rare fusion of the two faces of science: pure and applied. Fritz was born on December 9, 1868 in the respected
Haber family of Breslau, Germany (now Worclaw, Poland). His father was a prosperous chemical merchant and
an alderman of the town. Fritz received an excellent school education and developed a keen interest in chemistry.
Later he worked in his father's business but only briefly. The son's "lively adventurous spirit seemed a danger to
the business". Following brief stints at the Universities of Berlin and Hidelberg and at the Federal Technical
College at Zurich, Haber had his first serious exposure to chemical research under Karl Libermann at the
Charlottenberg Technical College in Berlin. The work was on the chemistry of piperonal and indigo derivatives
and it formed the basis of his doctoral thesis (1891). Later, he worked under Ludwig Knorr on the constitution of
diacetosuccinic ester at the University of Jena. In the end, however, organic chemical methods seemed too well
established to young Haber who was left "uninspired".
