Abstract
Chemical engineers play a critical role in environmental protection by designing processes and technologies that minimize the environmental impact of industrial activities. Through the application of sustainable principles, chemical engineers help to reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect ecosystems. This article explores the various ways in which chemical engineers contribute to environmental protection, focusing on pollution control, waste treatment, resource recovery, and the development of green technologies. The paper also discusses the challenges faced by chemical engineers in balancing industrial growth with environmental sustainability and the future directions for chemical engineering in environmental protection.
