Conference on Technological Advancements in Chemical and Environmental Engineering (TACEE-2012), March 23 – 24, 2012

Chemical engineering is the interdisciplinary branch that helped to develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, petrochemicals... pretty much everything. Chemical engineers can make processes cost effective, more efficient and environmentally friendly. Environmental awareness is a practice of protecting the environment, on individual or organisational level, for the benefit of the natural environment and (or) humans. Since the 1960s activism by the environmental movement has created awareness of the various environmental issues. Environmental sustenance has been the area of major concern for all the sectors of industries in the current scenario. This is a major challenge for progressive industries to carry out various technological advancements for continual improvements through innovation, research and development. In such a scenario, chemical and environmental engineering play an important role to develop new and green technologies for sustainable development of society. Waste, pollution, loss of biodiversity, introduction of invasive species, release of genetically modified organisms and toxics are some of the issues relating to environmental protection. The aim of the conference on “Technological Advancements in Chemical and Environmental Engineering – 2012” is to provide a forum for experts from industry and academia in India to exchange ideas and present recent technological developments in chemical and environment engineering. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find partners for future collaboration.
