PDF-[READ]-Enriching the Earth: Fritz Haber, Carl Bosch, and the Transformation of World Food

Dr Smil is the worlds authority on nitrogenous fertilizerThe industrial synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen has been of greater fundamental importance to the modern world than the invention of the airplane nuclear energy space flight or television The expansion of the worlds population from 16 billion people in 1900 to todays six billion would not have been possible without the synthesis of ammoniaIn Enriching the Earth Vaclav Smil begins with a discussion of nitrogens unique status in the biosphere its role in crop production and traditional means of supplying the nutrient He then looks at various attempts to expand natural nitrogen flows through mineral and synthetic fertilizers The core of the book is a detailed narrative of the discovery of ammonia synthesis by Fritz Habera discovery scientists had sought for over one hundred yearsand its commercialization by Carl Bosch and the chemical company BASF Smil also examines the emergence of the largescale nitrogen fertilizer industry and analyzes the extent of global dependence on the HaberBosch process and its biospheric consequences Finally it looks at the role of nitrogen in civilization and in a sad coda describes the lives of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch after the discovery of ammonia synthesis.

The expansion of the world\'s population from 1.6 billion people in 1900 to today\'s six billion would not have been possible without the synthesis of ammonia.In Enriching the Earth, Vaclav Smil begins with a discussion of nitrogen\'s unique status in the biosphere, its role in crop production, and traditional means of supplying the nutrient. He then looks at various attempts to expand natural nitrogen flows through mineral and synthetic fertilizers. The core of the book is a detailed narrative of the discovery of ammonia synthesis by Fritz Haber--a discovery scientists had sought for over one hundred years--and its commercialization by Carl Bosch and the chemical company BASF. Smil also examines the emergence of the large-scale nitrogen fertilizer industry and analyzes the extent of global dependence on the Haber-Bosch process and its biospheric consequences. Finally, it looks at the role of nitrogen in civilization and, in a sad coda, describes the lives of Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch after the discovery of ammonia synthesis. The triple bottom line. Meeting the needs of our future population. To meet future population needs, our food and fibre production systems need to protect: . biodiversity and ecosystems. human wellbeing, social equity and cultural diversity. Even if you’re someone who enjoys doing a spot of DIY at home, having the right tools for the job not only makes tasks easier and quicker, but safer, too. In fact, from carrying out repairs around the home, to working with power tools in a professional capacity, it’s hard to deny the reliability of branded power tools such as Bosch. Fritz-Haber-.
