Process Chemistry
Process Chemistry is a branch of chemistry focused on the development and optimization of chemical processes used in manufacturing. It involves designing efficient methods to produce chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials while ensuring safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
This field combines knowledge from various disciplines, including organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and chemical engineering. Process chemists work to scale up laboratory reactions for industrial production, troubleshoot issues, and improve existing processes to enhance yield and reduce waste. Their work is essential for the successful transition from research to commercial production.
