A German-born British chemist noted for the industrialization of several major chemical processes. After studying chemistry under Robert Bunsen (1811–99) at Heidelberg, he worked at various chemical works applying his knowledge to industry. Moving to Britain in 1862, he developed a process to remove sulphur from the waste products from the Leblanc process. He joined a partnership with John Brunner in 1873 and established a factory in Cheshire to manufacture soda by the new ammonia process invented by Ernest Solvay (1838–1922). Mond also developed several other processes including the Mond process for purifying nickel.
