Said John Olin: "It's a natural combination. Mathieson makes ammonia; Olin uses ammonia. Mathieson makes caustic soda; Olin uses caustic soda. Mathieson built up from basic chemicals into consumer products; Olin went from consumer products down into the chemical field . . . The two companies dovetail...
...purple or a bright target yellow. Britain muddled through with U.S. and South American help. But to make sure it would never happen again, I.C.I, was formed in 1926 by merging the four biggest companies−the British Dyestuffs Corp. for dyes, Brunner, Mond & Co. for nitrates and ammonia soda products, United Alkali Co. for alkalis, and Nobel Industries Ltd. for explosives...
...answer was polymer tempera, a plastic mixture developed by one of Zerbe's former students at the Boston Museum's art school. Polymer tempera is made by mixing polyvinyl acetate, a bland white plastic (which is also used as a binder for paper diapers), with softener and ammonia. The result is a fast-drying medium as easy to handle as gouache but with as much body as oil. Last week 16 of Zerbe's new plastic paintings were on view at Manhattan's Alan Gallery. Painter Zerbe, 50, had changed more than his medium...
Research experts pushed out another eye-opening original experiment in the field of Biology. Stanley Miler and Harold Usey received the nod for their study dealing with the synthesis of anime-acids in considerable quanities by the passage of an electric spark through a mixture of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water. This awesome experiment appears to be the first demonstration of the production of organic building blocks from inorganic molecules. "Critically significant," says Carrol Williams, professor of Biology, "because it is the first experiment as to how much complicated molecules required for the evolution of life came into being...
...many parts of the South, one-crop agriculture (cotton) disappeared along with the one-crop industry (textiles). Among the newcomers: Mead Corp.'s $30 million paper plant at Rome, Ga., American Cyanamid's $40 million ammonia plant near New Orleans, Chemstrand's $100 million nylon plant outside Pensacola, Fla. In 1953, for the first time, the value of Dixie's chemical products exceeded the value of its textile output...
