	Ludwig Mond - LoveToKnow 1911
		LUDWIG MOND (1839-1909), British chemist, was born at Cassel in Germany on the 7th of March 1839.
		1842 -),whom he had met when he was at Widnes, and thus founded the great chemical manufacturing firm of Brunner, Mond and Co. They began to make alkali by the ammonia-soda process, under licence from the Belgian chemist, Ernest Solvay, but at first the venture threatened to prove a failure.
		The resulting compound, nickel carbonyl, which was described to the Chemical Society in 1890, is both formed and decomposed within a very moderate range of temperature, and on this fact he based a successful process for the extraction of nickel from its ores.

	Soda ash, Solvay style
		Mond was born in Kassel, Germany, in 1839, and studied chemistry between 1855 and 1859 under the noted German chemists Hermann Kolbe and Robert Bunsen.
