Synopsis

Excerpt from Report on the Fixation and Utilization of Nitrogen

This report has been prepared in order to correlate and make available under one cover such information on the fixation and utilization of nitrogen, collected by the Nitrate Division since its organization in July, 1917, as may aid in the further development of that art in the United States. It is based to a very considerable extent on reports, papers, and articles prepared by the officers and civilians associated from time to time with the activities of the Nitrate Division, as well as on the published technical and economic papers of several others. In order that it may be of further help to those who desire to make a more detailed study of any of the several phases of this subject, a bibliography of many of the papers pertaining thereto that have appeared in the last few years has been prepared and is included.

In this report there is first discussed the world's nitrogen supply and demand, including a brief discussion of the prices of nitrogen, then the development of nitrogen fixation both in this and in foreign countries, then a technical and engineering description of the several nitrogen fixation and conversion processes, a discussion of research in its bearing both on the present and future possibilities of fixation, a history of the Government's activities in nitrogen fixation, a de scription of the United States Government's nitrogen fixation plants, and the bibliography referred to above.
