Role of the Chemical Profession in New Chemical Engineering Initiatives - Resources and Routes Revolution

Abstract

1. the important role of chemical engineering in the economy
2. three challenges of chemical engineering for sustainable developing.
Exhaustion of fossil resource and serious pollution will result in a great evolution of chemical engineering, especially evolution of material route and the evolution of process route.
3. industrial biocatalysis will be one of promoters of developing chemical engineering
4. bioeconomy based on carbonhydrate will take place of petro-econmy based on hydratecabon
