Chemical industry development trends and career opportunities

The development trends and career opportunities in the chemical industry are as follows:

I. Development trends in the chemical industry:

1. Green chemical industry: With the improvement of environmental protection awareness, the chemical industry is moving towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. Green chemical technology, low carbon technology and circular economy will become an important development direction of the chemical industry.

2, digital and intelligent: with the continuous development of digital and intelligent technology, the chemical industry is realizing the transformation from traditional manufacturing to digital and intelligent. Digital factory, intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet, etc. will become an important development direction of the chemical industry.

3, new energy and renewable energy: with the increasing global concern about climate change and environmental protection, the demand for new energy and renewable energy is increasing. The chemical industry needs to adapt to this trend, the development and application of new and renewable energy-related technologies and products.

II. Career opportunities in the chemical industry:

1. Research and development engineers: With the continuous development of the chemical industry, the demand for research and development engineers is also increasing. R&D engineers can be engaged in the research and development of new products, the development and application of new technologies.

2, production engineers: the chemical industry's production process requires professional production engineers to manage and control. Production engineers can be engaged in the design, optimization and management of the production process.

3, sales engineers: the sale of chemical products need professional sales engineers to promote and sell. Sales engineers can be engaged in product promotion, sales and customer relationship maintenance and other work.

Medicinal Chemistry

Medicine and pharmacology have always been a field that mankind has endeavored to explore, and in China's earliest pharmacological work, Shennong Ben Cao Jing (compiled around the 1st century A.D.), the properties, preparation, and dispensing of 365 medicines were recorded. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" contained 1,892 medicines.

These medicines are extracted from natural minerals or plants and animals, and most of them have to be soaked and processed to emphasize their medicinal properties or eliminate their toxicity before they can be used.

The end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century saw the production of the antipyretic and analgesic drug Aspirin, antisyphilis drug 606 (arsenic preparation), and anti-malarial drug Adiphene, etc. These chemically synthesized medicines are low-cost, high purity, and are not affected by natural conditions. These chemically synthesized drugs are low in cost, high in purity, and not affected by natural conditions, and have demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy.
