  Mond   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In England Mond obtained a position in a chemical works at Widnes, where he elaborated the practical application of a method he had devised for recovering the sulphur lost as calcium sulphide in the fl ash waste of the Leblanc alkali process.
One outcome was the development of the Mond producer gas process, in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen are produced by alternately passing air and steam over heated coal or coke (and the hydrogen used to convert nitrogen into ammonia).
In 1889, Mond and his assistant Carl Langer described their experiments with a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell that attained 6 amps per square foot (measuring the surface area of the electrode) at 0.73 volts.

 In Defence of Marxism - Workers' control or workers' participation?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)

Though he is able to put forward complaints and suggestions and some information of vital concern is given to him regularly, he has little chance to play an active part in shaping relations at his own workplace".

 Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 9, page 639
Two British industrialists, Lord McGowan of Nobel Industries and Sir Alfred Mond of Brunner Mond saw the need for British industry to counter the concentrated efforts of I. Farben and brought about a merger between the four largest British producers of chemicals: Brunner Mond and Co.; Nobel Industries Ltd.; The United Alkali Co. Ltd.
The formation of the combine, ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) was very nearly a takeover by the two strongest partners, Nobel and Mond, and the two strongest men, McGowan and Mond.
Brunner Mond had mastered the complex Solvay ammonia/soda process at an early stage and had acquired the Castner-Kellner electrolytic processes; with ambitions to reproduce the ammonia synthesis in Britain they were a tower of technical strength; and United Alkali held half of the alkali and much of the mineral acids business.
