Mond, Ludwig, 1839–1909, chemist; father of Alfred Moritz Mond.
Mond experimented with alkalies and also developed a producer gas known by his name.
In the process, carbon monoxide passing over the crushed and smelted ore containing nickel produces the volatile nickel carbonyl; this is decomposed to yield metallic nickel.
