Carl Bosch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Bosch (August 27, 1874 – April 26, 1940) was a German chemist and engineer.

Bosch was born in Cologne. He studied at the Technical College of Charlottenburg (today the Technical University of Berlin) and the University of Leipzig from 1892-1898. In 1899 he started to work at BASF. From 1908 until 1913 developed the Haber-Bosch process together with Fritz Haber. After World War I he was working on petrol and methanol synthesis via high pressure chemistry. In 1925 Bosch was one of the founders of IG Farben and from 1935 chairman of the board of directors. In 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Friedrich Bergius for the introduction of high pressure chemistry. He died in Heidelberg.

He was also an amateur astronomer, which is why the asteroid 7414 Bosch was named in his honour †.
