Chemical Industry
An
Overview:
The
science of chemistry has a role to play in almost all the major
manufacturing industries. It has it applications in industries as varied
as petrochemical, textiles, cosmetics, paper, paints, rubber, food, drugs
and agriculture. The chemical
industry can be classified into a number of ways e.g. depending upon the
nature of chemicals being used, namely organic chemicals and inorganic
chemicals or the end use of the product like chemicals for fertilizers or
pharmaceuticals and so on. The area of work for a chemical scientist would
depend upon his specialization and would broadly involve chemical
analysis, synthesis, research and sampling of solids, liquids and gases
for determining the composition, properties, physical and chemical
changes.
Since
the job of a chemical scientist is related to the industry manufacturing a
particular product or products, the work environment is highly variable.
Nevertheless, in production of chemicals and allied products there is a
significant amount of handling of poisonous chemicals. However in
administrative positions the work goes on in office conditions like in any
other office.
Educational
Qualification:
Graduates
in chemistry have the option to pursue pure sciences at the postgraduate
levels and subsequently undertake research work or alternatively choose to
pursue further study in one of the applied branches of chemistry like
sugar technology, industrial chemistry, paper and pulp technology, process
instrumentation, paint technology and so on. Chemical Engineering is a
full-fledged engineering course and can be opted for like any other such
course after 10+2.
