Haber-Bosch-Verfahren
The Haber-Bosch process is an industrial method used to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases. Developed by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch in the early 20th century, this process operates under high temperature and pressure, allowing for the efficient production of ammonia, which is essential for fertilizers.
This method has significantly impacted agriculture and food production by enabling the large-scale manufacture of nitrogen fertilizers. The Haber-Bosch process is crucial for meeting the global demand for food, as it enhances soil fertility and crop yields, supporting the growing population.
