化学产品工程的现状与趋势——代专辑前言

The State of the Art and Trends of Chemical Product Engineering:Introduction to the Special Issue on Chemical Product Engineering

化学产品的开发始终是化学家和化学工程师的一项主要任务,但化学产品工程概念的提出则是在2000年前后。一批美欧化工界的学者在探索21世纪化学工程学科发展方向时认识到,全球化学工业重心正在发生重大的转变。

Chemical product engineering around the year of 2000, ahhough has its inception the research and development of chemical products is always the major task of chemists and chemical engineers. A group of Western chemical engineers, who explored the trends of chemical engineering science, were aware that the focus of chemical industry had been significantly changing. On one side, the volume of chemical commodities was profit margin still increasing but to a steady state so shrank quickly. On the other side.
