Indian Chemical Engineer is a comprehensive academic journal that provides a broad academic exchange platform for researchers in the field of chemical engineering. The journal not only covers the core content of chemical engineering, such as reaction engineering, separation processes, process control, and chemical equipment design, but also extends to other subject areas that intersect with chemical engineering.

In materials science, the journal focuses on the development of new materials and the improvement of the properties of existing materials that may be used in or produced by chemical processes. The Organic Chemistry section covers organic synthesis, catalytic reactions, and applications of organic compounds. Articles in the field of biology and biochemistry may deal with biocatalysts, biotransformation processes, and biological materials. Research in the field of environmental science may include the treatment of industrial waste, the control of pollutants and the development of environmentally friendly processes. The quantum mechanics and physical chemistry section may contain an in-depth study of fundamental physical phenomena in chemical processes. Waste management may focus on the reduction, recycling and harmless treatment of industrial waste.
