Course description:
The core subject CML 351 Chemical Technology covers fundamental knowledge of all Unit
operation and Unit Process required for synthesis of the production process. It covers
production process of various industries like Industrial gases, Industrial carbon, Marine
Chemicals, Nuclear Industries, Chloro-alkali industries, Electrolytic and Electrochemical
Industries, Fertilizers, Glass – Chemistry Overall this course is highly useful for the students
of Chemical Engg for industrial point of view production processes.
