Bosch, Karl. (1874-1940) A German chemist who was the 1931 recipient of the Nobel Prize with Friederick Bergius. In World War I, his catalyst study led to the production of synthetic gasoline. He also worked in the area of chemical high-pressure methods. His research in ammonia synthesis aided in the manufacture of fertilizers and explosives. His doctorate was awarded in Liepzig, Germany. 

Karl Bosch (1874-1940) and Alwin Mittasch (1869-1953) of Badische Anilin- und Soda-Fabrik eliminated the nitrate shortage that occurred after the British sea blockade effectively cut off the nitrate supply from Chile. By May of 1915, they had successfully developed at their Oppau Plant an industrial-scale process for oxidizing ammonia. Their process converted the large quantities of synthetic ammonia produced by the Haber process to nitric acid and other nitrates that were essential for fertilizers and explosives. (10)...

In 1912 the German chemist Fritz Haber (1868-1934) developed the Haber process (Equation 15.6). The process is sometimes also called the Haber—Bosch process to honor Karl Bosch, the engineer who developed the industrial process on a large scale. The engineering needed to implement the Haber process requires the use of temperatures and pressures (approximately 500 "C and 200 to 600 atm) that were difficult to achieve at that time.
