Um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert gelingt es, die Luft in ihre Bestandteile zu zerlegen und kommerzielle Anwendungsgebiete zu erschließen. Eine Reihe bis dahin ungeahnter Anwendungsmöglichkeiten tut sich auf. Da ist Sauerstoff, der in Verbindung mit Acetylen die Metallverarbeitung revolutioniert, oder Stickstoff, der das Haber-Bosch-Verfahren zur Produktion von Ammoniak und später auch das Schockfrieren und die Herstellung von elektronischen Komponenten erlaubt. Heutzutage finden die Produkte dieser »unsichtbaren Industrie« Anwendungen in allen Branchen des produzierenden Gewerbes und darüber hinaus. Diese faszinierende technische und kommerzielle Entwicklung wird in diesem Buch erstmals geschildert. Die Autoren zeigen damit nicht nur die Geschichte eines ganzen Wirtschaftszweiges, sondern auch, dass gerade die Häuser am stabilsten sind, die ihre Festigkeit aus Luft gewinnen. [From Google Translate: At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, it was possible to break down the air into its components and develop commercial applications. A range of hitherto unimagined applications opens up. There is oxygen, which in combination with acetylene revolutionizes metalworking, or nitrogen, which allows the Haber-Bosch process for the production of ammonia and later also the shock freezing and the production of electronic components. Nowadays, the products of this »invisible industry« find applications in all branches of the manufacturing industry and beyond. This fascinating technical and commercial development is described for the first time in this book. The authors show not only the history of an entire industry...]
