How much difference are there between (pure and industrial chemistry) and chemical engineering.Where are they expected to be working respectively.[color=#000099][/color]

They re nt d same o! Chemical takes courses from faculty of engineering yl ICH takes courses 4rm d sciences!
Chemical works every yl ICH ar limited 2 d lab. For instance dey cnt refine bt dey can analyse bt chemical eng. Can do all!
moreovr ICH cant be COREN regstrd yl chemical eng. Can do so!
Go 4 chemical.

@samy, and Chemistry in its purity? Cletus,dpt chemistry OAU

Let's be frank. How many chemical industries do we have in Naija where you expect to work as a chemist? None! < I stand corrected if any>. Most chemists are limited to Universities where they lecture. Abi I lie?

Now a chemical engineer has more prospects. If he has a tite cgpa, he may likely work for a multinational.
A chemical engineer can easily upgrade his first degree without necessary going to postgraduate.
I quite agree with @Sammy up there too.

@kadata,do u mean that apart from lecturing, a pure and industrial chemist is disposed to sitting at home or parabulating the street of lagos,ph or Abj with bunch of files looking for some kind of work.

Not exactly. But an Industrial Chemist has better career prospects than a pure/analytical chemist.
-Airports
-Fire Service
etc are likely places that may require Ind. Chemists.
Aside from that tho' , you might be lucky elsewhere. Nobody knows.

Pls any (pure and industrial chemist) or chemical engineer in the house?,pls what kind of job are u doing now so we can know the kind of job they do.

What exactly are you looking for? Job prospects or Job specifications of Chemical engrs /chemists?

I am looking 4 everything,remember the topic was not restricted to just the difference in terms of what they are being taught in the lecture hall,i mean the difference so it can also go outside the lecture shores into their individual job prospect.So once again any p n i chemist/chemical engineer in the house?

@Eemeeka
I think Wikipedia can help.

@kadata thanks 4 ur contributions,i appreciate it.But i still need ppl who studied chemical engineering or p n i chemistry to comment on this thread.

Have u checked d Career Section yet?

Chemical engineering deals wit d design of industrial plants and factories, they help in the smooth running of industrial processes, chemists and industrial chemists birth d ideas bt chem Engrs. produce and comercialize it, They bt work hand in hand in sum factories like paint,cement,food processing factories, Chemist analyses products.they undastand chemical compositions of such products, Chem Engr do bt they ar more concern in producin them en masse, Chem Engr cn work in d Refinery,factories,breverage and brewery industries etc as process control Engineer, chemists work there too bt as analysts,

@Samystyler pls send ur numb to my mail vickipad@yahoo.ca i nid ur assistance.

I wunt say much..Am a chem engr..d main diff btw both is d ability to design by a chemical engr....

Am an industrial chemist to me the difference is that chemical engineering deal with too many ,complex mathematic,and chemical calculation and also the designing of chemical plant building chart of plant the flow chart and building of chemical machine
while industrial chemistry deal with the chemical control assurance and the quality assurance and also the mechanism in production BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS CHEMISTRY

A chemical engr is distinct frm a chemist in dat, while a chemist discovers & makes chemical products in small quantities (in grammes) on laboratory benches, the chemical engr discovets products n makes them in large quantities (several tonnes) in a large chemical plant that he designed n built himself
