Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron

In order to eliminate the expensive naphtholating and drying operations some further important developments were introduced by Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron under the names of Rapid Fast, Rapidazol, and Rapidogen combinations (mixtures of substantive coupling components with antidiazotates, diazosulfonates, and diazoamino compounds, respectively). 

Griesheim (1) An early process for producing chlorine by electrolysis, developed by Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron, in Germany, and commercialized in 1890. The electrolyte was saturated potassium chloride solution, heated to 80 to 90°C. The byproduct potassium hydroxide was recovered. The process was superseded in the United States by several similar electrolytic processes before being ousted by the mercury cell, invented by H. Y. Castner and K. Kellner in 1892.

The companies of the "bigger I.G.", founded in 1916 (BASF, Bayer, Agfa, Farbwerke Hoechst, Casella Co., and Kalle Co. as well as the Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron und Chemische Fabrik vorm Weilerter Meer), produced in 1917 about 77% of the explosives in Germany. Bayer, with 39%, was the biggest producer. The turnover of the companies belonging to the I.G. increased from 559 million marks in 1913 to 1616 million marks in 1918, and for war material from 2% of the turnover to 46% in 1917. ... 

In 1893 the Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron, the Elektro-chemischen Werke (a daughter of AEG Berlin) and the Agfa decided to build new chemical plants close to Bitterfeld and Wolfen. ... 

Nevertheless, Nemst contacted Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron in 1906 on the subject of ammonia synthesis and received some support. This was discontinued soon after because it was concluded that the constmction of equipment to work under high pressure and temperature conditions would constitute an impossible task.
