NITROGEN TAKEN
FROM AIR USED
FOR MANY THINGS
Enormous Plant at 0dda Sup
plies Material for FetiIiz-
erS and in Manufacture in
High Explosives,

Christianla. Feb. 25.--The process
of Withdrawing nitrogen from the air
for use In manufacturing artificial
fertilizers and high explosives may
be seen in operation at the new 10000
horse power plant at Odda, in the
llardanger ford
The separation of the nitrogen from
the oxygen in the air is accomplished
by COMPRISING the air into liquid
form. The nitrogen, which boils
first, at about $50 degrees below zero
tFahrenheiD, IS led away by special
~ constructed mains, and the oxygen,
which boils at about 295 below, is
utilized ON account Of its intensely low
temperature. to assist in the liquefac-
ton process. Ultimately it escapes
into the air again.
The nitrogen gathered in this man
ner is put into form for use by com
bining II with calcium carbide. a sub
stance known To practically every au-
tomobilist owing to It's offensive odor.
Carbide is made by fusing limestone
and coal in the Intense heat of an
electric furnace The operation can
only be performed whore electricity
is very cheap. When carbide Is heat
ed in an atmosphere of nitrogen 1t
absorbs the nitrogen, forming a COM
pound known as ntrolim. This is the
new fcrtilizing product which Norway
Is now producing on a wholesale scale.
Power Furnished by Falls.
The power for the gigantic Odda
plant is furnished 10y the nearby water
falls. The lime and coal are fused
together in series Of furnaces each
employing 5000 horse power. All
the pyrotechnies OF steel furnace
are eclipscd when one of the great
odda crucibles is tapped. for the
molten carbide pours forth with a
glare that no man dare face with un-
protected eyes.
Meanwhile the production of the
nitrogen Is heing pursued in another
department. Air FOR the purpose Is
drawn in great inlet pipes from the
mountain tops. This was found nee-
essarY because the air in the valley
around the great works was found 70
contain traces Of aCetNlene gas from
the carbide AceNlenc gas under
pressure is dangerously explosive, and
even a trace of it in the liquefaction
plant would be likely 80 cause the de-
struction Of the entire plant.
The nitrogen from the liquefaction
plant is turned into cylinders filled
with powdered carbide, which are
heated from the center by the pas
sage of an electric current through a
piece of carbon and as the tempera-
ture rises the carbide absorbs the nj
trogen and CLOVIS with the heat of
chemical action. The result Is nitro
linn. the artificial substitute FOR MI
trates and natural fertilizers, and the
starting point of another process for
The production of nitric acid and GER
tain high explosives.
