Patent from him 1875

I found by chance an US Patent from him on the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. It has the document ID "US 0161137 A" and was apparently published in 1875-03-23. I found this quite interesting. Maybe some other people might read this patent as I'm not quite understanding it yet. Didn't do much research for now.

It is especially interesting since the Haber-Bosch process was developed a few decades later. WhiteWolfDE (talk) 11:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
