Badische Anilin- Soda-Fabrik BASF

Just as Herman Mark was an important initiator of the scientific development of polymer chemistry and physics in our century and has left his decisive stamp on it, so did he have a particular influence on the early phase of the scientific and industrial development of styrene monomer and polystyrene. In 1980, polystyrene can look back on 50 years of industrial production, which began at the end of 1930 at Badische Anilin- Soda-Fabrik (now BASF) in Ludwigshafen.

Soon after, Caro played the leading technical and scientific role, mainly based on aryl amines, in the growth of Badische Anilin- Soda-Fabrik, better known as BASF. This firm was founded in 1865 in Mannheim to manufacture aniline red and its derivatives, as well as other coal-tar dyes. Caro returned to Germany at the end of 1866 and acted as a consultant to BASF, prior to joining that firm in 1868, by which time it had relocated to nearby Ludwigshafen, on the west bank of the River Rhine. Early in 1869, Caro became... 

BASF (Badische Anilin- Soda-Fabrik). Founded in Germany in 1865 by Friedrich Engelhom to make dyestuffs from coal tar, a by-product of his coal gas business (BASF, 2012). 

An even more explicit statement of reaction conditions is shown below for the BASF (Badische Anilin Soda-Fabrik) process for the synthesis of methanol from CO and H2. This reaction occurs at 350 °C, under a total gas pressure that is 340 times as great as the normal pressure of the atmosphere, and on the surface of a mixture of ZnO and Cr203 acting as a catalyst. As we will learn later in the text, a catalyst is a substance that enters into a reaction in such a way that it speeds up the reaction without itself being consumed or changed by the reaction.

Once the structure of indigo was established in 1870, it was quite logical to attempt its synthesis, not only as an intellectual challenge, but also as a profitable source of cheaper indigo that could advantageously compete with the natural dyestuff. The first industrial synthesis used by "Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik" (BASF) was the procedure developed by Karl Neumann, which utilised the reaction of aniline with chloroacetic acid and then cyclisation of the resulting product to indoxyl promoted by NaNHj at high temperatures (over 200 °C). However, the... 

Ethylene oxide has been produced commercially by two basic routes the ethylene chlorohydrin and direct oxidation processes. The chlorohydrin process was first introduced during World War I in Germany by Badische Anilin-nnd Soda-Fabrik (BASF) and others (95). The process involves the reaction of ethylene with hypochlorous acid followed by dehydrochlorination of the resulting chlorohydrin with lime to produce ethylene oxide and calcium chloride. Union Carbide Corp. was the first to commercialize this process in the United States in 1925. The chlorohydrin process is not economically competitive, and was quickly replaced by the direct oxidation process as the dominant technology. At the present time, all the ethylene oxide production in the world is achieved by the direct oxidation process. 

Stuttgart these companies later became part of the Badische Anilin- und Soda-fabrik (BASF), In 1860, the dyestuff merchant Friedrich Bayer set up a fuchsin factory in Elberfeld. In 1863, Meister, Lucius and Bruning also began the production of fuchsin in Hochst (Hoechst). 

An important discovery during this period was the fact that steel is immune to attack by dry chlorine [7]. This permitted the first commercial production and distribution of dry liquid chlorine by Badische Anilin-und-Soda Fabrik (BASF) of Germany in 1888 [8,9]. This technology, using H2SO4 for drying followed by compression of the gas and condensation by cooling, is much the same as is currently practiced.
