Gradually, however, the technical difficulties were overcome and success assured, largely as a result of improved methods worked out by Mod for the recovery of the ammonia.
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.
A liberal contributor to the purposes of scientific research, Mond founded in 1896 the Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory in connection with the Royal Institution.

 Ludwig Mond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Ludwig Mond (born March 7, 1839, Kassel; died December 11, 1909, London) was an important German-born British chemist and industrialist.
Mond attended universities in Marburg and Heidelberg to study chemistry and then came to England in 1862.
Mond solved some of the problems in the Solvay process that made mass production difficult, and by 1880 he had turned it into a commercially sound process.

Mond experimented with alkalies and also developed a producer gas known by his name.
Mond developed a valuable method known as the Mond process for extracting nickel from its ores by use of this carbonyl.
In the process, carbon monoxide passing over the crushed and smelted ore containing nickel produces the volatile nickel carbonyl; this is decomposed to yield metallic nickel.

Mond was born in Kassel and studied chemistry at Marburg and Heidelberg.
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).
By the early 1900s, Mond's Dudley Port Plant in Staffordshire was using 3 million tonnes of coal each year to make producer gas (Mond gas).

 about the club
Mond, who was a gifted chemist, and Brunner, who had a good head for business, decided to pool their respective talents and financial resources in a commercial enterprise.
Mond, had become convinced there was a future for an alternative method for the production of the Alkali, sodium carbonate (soda ash) to the method patented by the French scientist, Nicholas Leblanc, in 1791.
Brunner and Mond became convinced there was a profitable future in store for the Solvay process and began to look for a suitable site to build their soda ash works to employ the Solvay method.

Ore was mined and transported from Mond (Victoria Mine) to the roast yard, situated halfway between the mine and the smelter.
As the Mond deposit was now largely surpassed in production by the Garson Mine, it was thought to be more economical to roast and smelt the ore near its principal source.

 Fuel Cell Technology Showcase - History of Fuel Cells
As early as 1839, Sir William Grove (often referred to as the "Father of the Fuel Cell") discovered that it may be possible to generate electricity by reversing the electrolysis of water.
It was not until 1889 that two researchers, Charles Langer and Ludwig Mond, coined the term "fuel cell" as they were trying to engineer the first practical fuel cell using air and coal gas.
While further attempts were made in the early 1900s to develop fuel cells that could convert coal or carbon into electricity, the advent of the internal combustion engine temporarily quashed any hopes of further development of the fledgling technology.

 The Crescent Trademark, & the Poultry House
It had long been the tradition that the Crescent Trade Mark of Brunner, Mond and Co. was inspired by the old Poultry House [built by the then owner, Lord Penrhyn] at Winnington Hall.
This was a semi-circular building which stood where the Research Laboratory did, later, and was considered a local 'wonder' once upon a time.
An alternative theory was that 'Mond' in German means 'Moon', which may have inspired Ludwig Mond to draw up the design with John Brunner.

A British company (named for Dr. Ludwig Mond) incorporated in 1902, it had a process for refining nickel ore before it had any ore! It came to the Sudbury area and started the Victoria Mine along with a new smelter and company town located 22 miles west of Sudbury on the CPR Sault Ste.
Mond also acquired the Worthington mine, a few miles to the west; the Levack mine, about 30 miles to the north of Sudbury, close to the CPR main line; and the Garson mine, to the northeast of Sudbury, served by a spur from the Canadian Northern main line.
In 1922, American Mond Nickel Company was formed, and a merger with Inco came on January 1, 1929.

But it wasn’t until 1872 when Ludwig Mond licensed the Solvay method that the technology was introduced to the British Isles, the center of world soda ash production thanks to the Leblanc process.
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.
Later, Mond developed a process for refining nickel ores by treating them with carbon monoxide to form nickel carbonyl, which is easily decomposed to pure nickel.

The original Brunner Mond and Company was formed in 1873 when John Brunner and Ludwig Mond built Winnington Works at Northwich, Cheshire and produced their first soda ash in 1874.
In 1926 Brunner Mond merged with three other British chemical companies to form Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a venture that grew to become one of the world's largest and most successful companies.
In 1991 Brunner Mond Holdings Limited was formed by the acquisition of the UK and Kenyan soda ash businesses from ICI and the heart of the original Brunner Mond was re-created as an independent company.
