replaced by the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes
Birkeland–Eyde Process
process to produce aluminum metal
Hall–Héroult process
in the Söderberg form coke was added to react with oxygen
Hall–Héroult process
uses organometallic titanium-aluminum catalysts to make polyolefins
Ziegler–Natta polymerization
“crust breaker” used to puncture a crust of frozen cryolite and alumina
Hall–Héroult process
produces ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
Haber-Bosch Process
old method to extract aluminum; replaced by Hall-Heroult
Deville process
alumina dissolved in cryolite
Hall–Héroult process
usually carried out at 200 atmospheres and 400-600 degrees Celsius
Haber-Bosch Process
main source of modern fertilizers
Haber-Bosch Process
version of the Monsanto process that uses iridium
Cativa process
uses prebaked carbon anodes
Hall–Héroult process
use of zeolite catalysts (Type Y)
fluid catalytic cracking (FCC)
very water-sensitive reactions
Grignard
purifies nickel using carbon monoxide
Mond process
obsolete soda ash production (replaced by Solvay)
Leblanc process
produces hydrogen gas from methane (CH₄) and steam (H₂O)
steam reforming
developed by Vladimir Shukhov
thermal cracking
coal-to-liquid (CTL) fuel synthesis
Fischer–Tropsch process
replaced the Hunter process
Kroll process
rate governed by the nonlinear Temkin–Pyzhev equation
Haber-Bosch Process
developed by James Roth
Monsanto process
produces nickel carbonyl from nickel oxides
Mond process
occurs in a catalytic riser
fluid catalytic cracking (FCC)
