Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

  Chemical Engineering Chemical engineering is a discipline of engineering that deals with chemical production and product manufacturing using chemical processes. This includes developing machinery, methods, and procedures for refining raw materials, as well as combining, compounding, and processing chemicals to create useful products. In the late 1800s, an English engineer named George E. Davis is credited with inventing the field of chemical engineering. In his two-volume "Handbook of Chemical Engineering" (Davis Bros., 1901; revised 1904), based on a series of 12 lectures he gave at the Manchester School of Technology, he produced the first fully complete survey of the practise (now part of the University of Manchester). Surprisingly, he never taught another course in his life, preferring instead to focus on consulting. His handbook, on the other hand, would become the standard text for chemical engineering studies for decades. What are the responsibilities of chem...

Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules' structure, characteristics, content, reactions, and manufacture. The most common elements in organic compounds are carbon and hydrogen, although they can also contain a variety of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur). Organic chemistry was once limited to the study of compounds produced by living organisms, but it has since expanded to include human-made substances (e.g., plastics). Organic Chemistry is employed in a variety of applications. Organic substances can be found all over the place. Organic chemicals make up at least a portion of many modern materials. They're essential for economic development and are fundamental to biochemistry, biotechnology, and medicine. Organic compounds can be found in agrichemicals, coatings, cosmetics, detergent, dyestuff, food, fuel, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and rubber, to name a few.   Chemistry and it...
