Abstract
A LIFETIME'S work on technical catalysts lies behind this little pamphlet. While Haber proposed and outlined experimentally the idea of nitrogen fixation, and Bosch developed the apparatus for it, Mittasch solved one of the main practical difficulties attached to the process, by the discovery of an iron catalyst of a certain composition.
