What is Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering?
The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering involves the study and research for the development, design, operation and management of chemical, physical, and bio-processes to provide necessary materials, which are required in cultural living of humans from natural and bio-resources. The integration of chemical and biomolecular engineering fields is a new research field reflecting the trend of fusion technologies in the advanced 21st century. Conventional chemical and biomolecular engineering deal with crude oil processing, fabrication of plastic and synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, the separation of gases from air, environmental problems, fertilizers and foods, isolation of isotopes and development of medicines and antibiotics; these studies provide us a wealthier and more comfortable life. The chemical and biomolecular engineering takes a major role in leading the future development through nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy/environmental technology, as well as the fusion of all these technologies. The study will open the way to substantiate the future technologies in our actual human beings.
