Vorheriges Kapitel A Time of Guns and Grain

Nächstes Kapitel Billingham: “The Synthetic”

At this time BASF was already using Raschig rings, invented by Friedrich August Raschig (1863–1928).

Lefebure led a gas cylinder attack near Nieuport in 1916 and was subsequently rewarded with the rank of major. In 1917, he co-organized an inter-allied gas conference to which American observers were invited. He joined the British Dyestuffs Corporation at Blackley near Manchester in 1919.

During the war, the National Research Foundation functioned as the Department of Science and Research of the Council of National Defense as well as the Science and Research Division of the United States Army Signal Corps.

The Bucher process was investigated at the Solvay Process Company’s laboratories, until around 1924, with particular reference to formation of briquettes.
