Edgar Stanley Freed was an American engineer known for his significant contributions to the nitrate extraction industry. He played a pivotal role in the development of solar evaporation ponds, a groundbreaking technology in the 1940s, which remains a critical component in the production processes of iodine and specialty fertilizers. His work, including the creation of the Solar Evaporation System, Freed Cement, and the study of caliche by-products, has left a lasting legacy in the non-metallic mining industry.[1]
