LUDWIG, German chemist; born at Cassel, Hesse-Nassau, in 1839. He attended Marburg and Heidelberg universities, and after graduating worked in England at a Leblanc soda factory, where he succeeded in experiment to save the calcium sulphide lost in the process of manufacture. After living for a time in Utrecht he started an alkali works in England, developing new methods of making bleaching powder. He gave liberally to the work of promoting chemical research and provided funds for the establishment of the David Faraday Laboratory of the Royal Institution London. He died in 1909.

What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's 1921 sketch of Ludwig Mond dwells on his early salvage of sulphur waste from the Leblanc process, but passes over the two achievements he is now remembered for: the ammonia-soda works he founded with John Brunner at Winnington in 1873, and the nickel carbonyl process he patented in 1889. Brunner, Mond & Co. became one of the four firms merged into Imperial Chemical Industries in 1926, with Mond's son Alfred as first chairman; the surviving British soda-ash business passed to Tata Chemicals in 2006. The Mond process itself is still in industrial use, notably at the nickel refinery at Clydach in south Wales that he established in 1902. Of the other entries, Frank Mondell left Congress in 1923 after losing a Senate bid and died in 1939, and Mondovi in Piedmont has grown to roughly 22,000 people.
