Chemical Ceramic Technology: Career, Placements and Education Information

What is Chemical ceramic technology?

Chemical Ceramic Technology is a specialized branch of Chemical Engineering. It deals with the development and manufacturing of ceramic and the process of combining it with other chemicals to create ceramic and allied products. Ceramic Chemical Engineers work on the research of the materials, chemical processes, properties, manufacturing, design, and applications of ceramic materials BE/B.Tech in Chemical Ceramic Technology is a 4-year program. Chemical Ceramic Technology has applications in other branches of engineering such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering. Ceramic materials are used in industries such as mining, aerospace, medicine, refinery, food and chemical, packaging science, electronics, industrial and transmission electricity etc.

Scope of Chemical ceramic technology?

• Design: Ceramic engineers design the kilns and other equipment used in manufacturing as well as direct the crew that build the plants and operate the kilns.
• Production: In the glass industry, their work involves the manufacture of tableware, fibre optics, bulbs, windowpanes, and electronics ancillaries. Ceramic engineers in the electronics sector, manufacture integrated circuits, sensors etc.
• Research: In the research field, the main work of Ceramic technologists involves the study and application of chemical and thermal interactions of oxides, which make ceramics.
• Testing: Ceramic engineers are responsible for testing the quality of raw materials and samples prepared for production in the testing laboratories.
