This course provides a non-traditional course
work in chemistry preparing students with practical applied chemistry
for numerous items in our day-to-day life. Some historical background
for the innovation of products will be discussed. This bridges the gap
between (a) the basic research and development, and (b) chemical
engineering and chemical marketing. It will cover chemistries from bench
top to scale up to manufacturing for a number of essential products in
various industries as outlined below:
- Introduction to manufacturing industry with a special emphasis on
chemical industry.
- Industrial gases, petrochemicals, detergents, fertilizers,
agrochemicals.
