Chatelier, Henri

Haber demonstrated that the production of ammonia from the elements was feasible in the laboratory, but it was up to Carl Bosch, a chemist and engineer at BASF, to transform the process into large-scale production. The industrial converter that Bosch and his coworkers created was completely revised, including a cheaper and more effective catalyst based on extensive studies in high-pressure catalytic reactions. This approach led to Bosch receiving the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1931, and the production of multimillion tons of fertilizer per year worldwide, see also Agricultural Chemistry Catalysis and Catalysts Equilibrium Le Chatelier, Henri Nernst, Walther Hermann Ostwald, Friedrich Wilhelm. [Pg.183]

Le Chatelier, Henry (1850-1936) is known for his principle and for inventing the optical pyrometer in 1892. [Pg.134]

Le Chatelier, Henri-Louis (1850-1936) French chemist noted for his rule, known as Le Chatelier s principle, which states that every change in a system in stable chemical equilibrium results in a rearrangement of the system so that the original change is minimized. He devised a railway water brake, an optical pyrometer, and contributed to the field of metallurgy. [Pg.161]

Le Chatelier, Henry Louis (1850-1936) A French professor of chemistry who investigated the chemistry of silicates, cement, ceramics, and steels. In 1887 he developed the platinum/platinum-rhodium thermocouple, which made possible the accurate measurement ofvery high tempe ratuies. He worked onelectrical conductivity and onspecilic heals of gases and disco vered the effects of temperamre and pressure on a system in equilibrium. SeeLE chatelier s principle. [Pg.218]
