Process Chemistry: A Day in the Life

Process chemists are responsible for identifying a chemical process that is safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly. How do they do it on a day-to-day basis?

Join ACS Institute Educator Joe Martino, an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Immaculata University, as he walks you through a typical process chemistry challenge and introduces you to concepts including the SELECT paradigm, a comparison of batch versus continuous flow chemistry, retrosynthetic analysis, and an introduction to Design of Experiments (DoE). Register now if you are interested in pursuing process chemistry as a career path, if you are entering into a process chemistry role or if you simply want to find out more about how this discipline combines a blend of theoretical and practical chemistry knowledge.

This ACS Webinar is moderated by Assistant Director Bryan Tweedy of the American Chemical Society and is co-produced with the ACS Office of Career and Professional Education.

What You Will Learn

• A general approach to a typical process chemistry challenge and an appreciation of how process chemistry is impacted by business, economic and government decision making
• How to identify a batch chemistry operation vs. a continuous flow operation and how retrosynthetic analysis is applied to process chemistry
• An introduction to Design of Experiments (DoE) as a statistical method used to optimize chemical processes
