Mond|mɒnd|
The name of Ludwig Mond (1839–1909), German-born British chemist, used attrib. to designate processes devised by him and the plant and products of these processes, esp. (a) a method of manufacturing producer gas by passing air and an excess of steam into a gas producer so that most of the nitrogen of the coal is converted into ammonia and can be recovered; (b) a process for obtaining high-purity nickel by decomposing by heat the volatile nickel carbonyl, which is obtained from crude nickel oxide by reduction with hydrogen followed by reaction with carbon monoxide.
1887Encycl. Brit. XXII. 244/1 The Mond process, of all the many sulphur-recovery processes yet introduced, is the best. 1903Jrnl. Franklin Inst. CLV. 390 The success of the Mond nickel process, as carried on in England, has been seriously hindered by the discovery that the process is dangerous to the health of the men employed. 1907E. L. Rhead Metallurgy (new ed.) vi. 76 Mond gas is generated by passing into the producer air containing the maximum amount of water vapour that the heat produced is capable of decomposing. 1936Bone & Himus Coal xxiv. 424 The trades using Mond Gas are diverse, including..manufacture of motor cars and component parts, foundries.., chemical works, [etc.]. 1946J. R. Partington Gen. & Inorg. Chem. xvii. 485 Mond gas is formed with a large excess of steam which keeps the temperature low. 1947G. W. Himus Elements Fuel Technol. xv. 324 A number of Mond plants were installed and found to be economic. 1969H. T. Evans tr. Hägg's Gen. & Inorg. Chem. xxxiv. 727 In the so-called Mond process a very fine powder is desired, and the reduction is done with water gas at 350–400°C. |
