We can readily understand these setbacks today if we consider the high sensitivity of iron as an ammonia catalyst toward numerous catalyst poisons. In those early years, this fact was unknown to us. Specifically, no one suspected the harm which is done to the catalyst by substances such as sulfur and sulfur compounds. Even Haber had never discussed a catalyst poisoning by impurities, because he had been able, apparently to avoid the presence of catalyst poisons in his small scale experiments. [Pg.87]
