I definitely feel that Haber (the chemist) and Bosch (the engineer) must appear in the history of chemical engineering. Without their nitrogen binding process:

Created a new Chemical engineering article to replace one that had been deleted

This is only my second article in CZ and I consider myself to still be a newcomer. Please feel free to offer any and all constructive criticisms of this article.

In my opinion, it still needs:

  • More references
  • A "Timeline" subpage outlining the history of chemical engineering as a recognized discipline and profession.
  • Internal links to articles devoted to other branches of engineering suc as Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, etc. I intend to create a "Related articles" subpage and list such internal links as soon as possible.
  • Start and populate a "Bibliography" subpage

If there are any other Chemical engineers in CZ, please help. - Milton Beychok 22:55, 23 January 2008 (CST)

Most of the items listed above as needed have now been done

I crossed out the above items which have now been done. - Milton Beychok 12:40, 30 January 2008 (CST)

Pre-Aprroval suggestions

Milton, it is shaping up very nicely. The History section in particular has a wonder flow to it. I was wondering if the long list of items, that repeats something like "design, operation and management" could be written in a paragraph form to remove the redundant phrases.

Some some items needing correction (in History section) "quotes note the change"
P1: However it use was not widespread --> "its" use P2: hazardous byproduct --> "the" hazardous byproduct"s"

P2?: a sentence ends with "was failed", which isn't quite correct.

Further down, change fertilisers to fertilizers? David E. Volk 09:23, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

David, I agree with all of your comments and have made the appropriate changes. Thanks for your help. Milton Beychok 10:52, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

Approval process started

Milton, I have started the approval process for you. David E. Volk 13:38, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

Haber Bosch

I definitely feel that Haber (the chemist) and Bosch (the engineer) must appear in the history of chemical engineering. Without their nitrogen binding process:

  • World War I would have ended much quicker.
  • World population would not be 6 billion, but considerably less.
