Chemical Engineering and Processes
Overview The Chemical Engineering and Processes program is a product of the development of the chemical industry. Chemical industry is the use of chemical reactions only to produce chemical products, including clinker, rubber, synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals, fuels and other industries, referred to as chemical industry. Production in the chemical industry generally consists of three steps: raw material processing, chemical reaction and product refining. Regardless of the scale of its production, a variety of chemical production processes are completed through a few basic operations, such as heat transfer, evaporation, distillation, absorption, drying, filtration, extraction, crystallization, etc., he needs to be carried out in a specific device. Therefore, in the actual production of how to choose, improve the production equipment and the use of what production methods for the chemical industry production problems. The former that is chemical engineering, the latter that is chemical process, that is to say, chemical engineering and technology contains chemical engineering and chemical process two levels, chemical engineering to solve the chemical industry production of the external environment, chemical technology to solve the chemical industry production of technical problems, and methodological issues, specifically, chemical engineering and technology is the study of chemical production process, equipment and chemical reaction catalysts, etc., in order to develop new products, new processes, new production equipment, and production methods, to develop new products, new processes, and new production methods. To develop new products, new processes, new equipment, as well as optimize and improve the existing production process, improve product quality, energy saving, environmental protection as the ultimate goal of a discipline. The main contents of his research*** include unit operation, chemical reaction engineering, transfer process, chemical thermodynamics, chemical system engineering, process dynamics and control, etc., the selection of raw materials and production methods, process organization, the structure of the equipment used, the role of the operation, the impact of catalysts and other materials, the determination of the operating conditions, production control, product specifications and by-products of the separation and use of the technology, as well as the safety of technology and techno-economics, etc.
With the continuous development of science and technology, undergraduates in addition to the long history of the traditional chemical industry in the process continue to play an important role, gradually to the biochemical, biomedical engineering, energy engineering and other fields of penetration, the field of research continues to broaden and extend. Promote the rapid development of the discipline, for example, oil-based traditional chemical processes, requiring a new generation of chemical engineers in the development of new technologies, new products to play an important role in the production of high value-added products, biomedical engineering, special separation technology, fermentation technology, special reactor design, etc., the issue of the need to participate in the cooperation of chemical engineers. Biomedical field in the tissue culture reactor, organs and tissues of the cryogenic retention and and cold to the representative of the new cryosurgical technology and machinery are the 21st century chemical engineers of the direction of the eye, solar energy, geothermal energy and ocean energy are new energy development and utilization as well as fuel cells, energy-storage materials, such as new energy-saving technology is the chemical industry direction of the direction of a hot spot direction, he has a sustainable use of nature has an epoch-making role. Epoch-making role, therefore, chemical engineering and technology is the chemical software technology, energy engineering, bioengineering, marine engineering and environmental engineering and other emerging fields of high-speed development of one of the important basis.
The main application fields of chemical engineering and technology include petroleum refining, polymer materials, biology, medicine, environmental engineering, light industry and food, and energy engineering.

Pharmaceutical Engineering
Overview Pharmaceutical engineering is the study of chemical drug search, design, synthesis, and production engineering process control theory, technology and methodology. Simply put, pharmaceutical engineering is to chemical drugs as the object of study, based on chemical biology, supplemented by appropriate engineering and medical basics. It is characterized by the study of the object is not a general chemical, but for the human body and can produce diagnosis, treatment, prevention or mitigation of disease effect of chemical drugs.
Pharmaceutical engineering research includes the search for and design of new chemical drugs, structural modification of lead compounds, control of existing chemical drug production processes and product quality, as well as the study of production process improvement.
Pharmaceutical Engineering is a new major set up after the adjustment of the catalog of the Ministry of Education's homepage in 1998, and the main basis of its structure is the original chemical-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical chemistry majors. The chemical pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical chemistry majors have a history of nearly 50 years. The adjusted pharmaceutical engineering specialty has a wider professional scope, stronger adaptability, and is more in line with the requirements of the development of the pharmaceutical industry. The development of this profession in the country at a rapid pace, there are dozens of colleges and universities to open the pharmaceutical engineering profession. There is a pharmaceutical engineering profession predecessor and chemical pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry professional training graduates have been all over the country pharmaceutical institutions, and become China's pharmaceutical industry and the backbone of the middle and backbone. It can be predicted that, with the development of the pharmaceutical industry and China's accession to the WTO, the pharmaceutical industry will certainly deliver a large number of senior pharmaceutical engineering and technology talents for China's pharmaceutical industry.
Pharmaceutical engineering in addition to chemical drugs as the main professional direction, its basic theory and skills can also be used for pesticides and other fine chemical products development.
Pharmaceutical engineering in the national economic development in a special position and has a very important role. Its speciality lies in the object of his research - chemical drugs is currently the main drug in the diagnosis of many human diseases, medical treatment, etc., absolutely indispensable, is the management of human health and social development, and is an important industry to promote the development of the country's economy, in the country is closely related to the people.
