ABSTRACT
The term chemical process is used to indicate a sequence of one or more operations achieving the transformation of chemicals. Chemical processes fall into three broad categories: processes performed in a chemical laboratory, industrial chemical processes carried out on an industrial scale, and natural chemical processes. Natural chemical processes are carried out in nature ideally without human action. These include, for example, the chemical processes that occur naturally in living organisms (including metabolism and photosynthesis) and the reactions of biodegradation. Chemical laboratory and industrial processes refer to chemical processes developed and engineered by man.
