Abstract
IN view of the great increase in the facilities for making sulphuric acid, attempts have naturally been made to find an outlet for the new production after the war, and a Departmental Committee appointed to go into the subject has recently examined the possibility of an additional production of fertilisers, which before the war absorbed some 60 per cent, of the acid made. The report of the Committee (Cd. 8994, 1918) has already been discussed in these columns from the point of view of sulphuric acid production: it remains now to consider the effect on fertilisers. The report is very short and does not include the statistical data necessary for a full discussion of the problem: fortunately these can be collected from other sources.
