Indian Chemical Engineer (ICE) is published in two Sections A and B. Section A is an international forum for the presentation of original research, interpretative reviews and discussion on new developments in all areas of chemical engineering and allied fields. It contains papers describing novel theory and practical applications as well as reports of experimental work – carefully executed and soundly interpreted. Section B contains impartial, generic papers or an overview of a technology – intended to provide guidance to practicing chemical engineers. It showcases papers focusing on general chemical engineering problem(s)/situation(s) and generic methods of solving such problem(s)/situation(s). Some of the appropriate subjects for papers are: design of equipment options; troubleshooting a process unit; assessing likely impact of emerging technology; reviewing key trends and challenges in engineering research and development; and continuing education. ICE will be very useful to professionals, academics, researchers and students in the domain of Chemical Engineering and allied areas as well as industries, research centres and educational institutes in chemical engineering and related fields.
