Sometimes regarded as the most important technological advance of the 20th century, The Haber-Bosch Process(Haber Process) allows the economical mass synthesis of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen and hydrogen. This unique process was developed a little before World War I by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who were German chemists. Haber won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1918 for his discoveries, and Bosch shared a Nobel Prize with Friedrich Bergius in 1931 for his work on high-pressure chemical reactions.
A flow scheme for the process is demonstrated below.
