Mond attended universities in Marburg and Heidelberg to study chemistry and then came to England in 1862. His first great success was developing a method to recover sulfur from the by-products of the Leblanc process. In 1873, he joined with John Brunner to form Brunner, Mond and Company to use the Solvay process to make soda ash. Mond solved some of the problems in the Solvay process that made mass production difficult, and by 1880 he had turned it into a commercially sound process. Mond also discovered nickel carbonyl, which allowed for the extraction of pure nickel from its ores through the Mond process. He founded the Mond Nickel Company to exploit this find by linking nickel mines in Canada with refining operations in Wales. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1891.
