Issued in Leningrad by the Scientific Chemical-Technical Publishing House, the work focuses on the revolutionary chemical processes required to synthesize ammonia and organic compounds—such as methanol and liquid fuels—from industrial by-products like coke and water gases. As the Soviet Union pushed for rapid industrialization and agricultural modernization, Fokin's research provided the theoretical and practical blueprint for the creation of a domestic fertilizer industry and the chemical foundations of national defense. The volume is an exhaustive technical manual comprising 452 pages filled with intricate technical drawings, fold-out charts, diagrams, and industrial plans that detail the high-pressure reactors and catalytic systems utilized in the Haber-Bosch process and its Soviet adaptations.\u003cbr\u003eBeyond its chemistry, the book offers a unique historical perspective through its inclusion of maps and plans of chemical plants, documenting the territorial expansion of the USSR's industrial power during the early Stalinist era. The text provides a deep typological analysis that offers a deep dive into the internal logic of heavy industry development, including the arrangement of catalytic stages and the integration of coal-gasification units within the broader industrial infrastructure. With a limited print run of only 2,000 copies, this large-format hardcover is a rare survivor of the pre-war academic press and serves as a primary source for historians of science, chemical engineers, and collectors of early Soviet technical literature, capturing the moment when laboratory chemistry transitioned into a massive state-led industrial force.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963142275114,"sku":"EB-306299394879","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_f0d68a5a-3fb2-4ab7-b118-0ff72a8dae59.jpg?v=1768161878","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/synthesis-of-ammonia-fokin-1930-%d1%81hemistry-1930-%d1%81%d0%b8%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%b7-%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%bc%d0%b8%d0%b0%d0%ba%d0%b0-%d1%84%d0%be%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%bd","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
