Abstract
The fine chemical industry manufactures products that are used by many major industrial sectors, including the food and beverage, cosmetics, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, electronics, paper, automotive, painting, and water industries. The industry saw significant changes in the first quarter of the current century, including the uptake of new “greener” production technology, digitalization, and changes in the structure and geographical distribution. Despite its relevance and significant annual growth rates lasting for decades, knowledge of this industry among chemistry and chemical engineering scholars, including graduate and undergraduate students, is often limited. Providing an updated critical insight into industry and the main changes that have occurred in the past 25 years, this study identifies the technology and policy drivers of change. The conclusions of the study may inform further practice-oriented education on industrial aspects of the chemical enterprise.
期刊介绍：
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
