The key difference between industrial chemistry and chemical engineering is that the industrial chemistry applies chemical and physical processes to convert raw materials into important products whereas the chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that designs the processes to produce, transform and transport materials.
Industrial chemistry is a branch of chemistry in which we study the techniques of converting raw material into products. This may include synthesis of chemicals, conversion of one chemical species into another, the breakdown of chemical compounds, etc. Chemical engineering is a part of industrial chemistry. It deals with the question, “how to do it?”. This section of chemistry explains and develops the pathway of industrial chemistry.
