Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology provides vital information relating scientific discoveries and inventions in process biotechnology and chemical technology to their conversion into commercial products. Uniquely JCTB focuses on the interfaces between chemical technology and biotechnology especially where these impact on health and safety and the environment. Areas relevant to the scope of JCTB include: process technology; monitoring and control; catalysis and biocatalysis; chemical and biochemical engineering; fermentation and downstream processing; environmental remediation; separation technology; industrial chemistry; chiral synthesis; synthesis of technically important chemicals; colloids; effect chemicals. JCTB particularly welcomes papers on research and applications of Clean Technology - production by processes that inherently forestall pollution - including: clean synthesis of effect chemicals; waste reduction; pollution prevention; autotrophic waste management; high value products using photosynthetic microbes; life cycle analysis.
