Features: With the rapid development of science and technology, the continuous advancement of higher education, and the increasing frequency of international exchanges and cooperation in China, the demands for talent cultivation in higher education institutions have become increasingly high. They must not only possess a solid professional foundation but also be proficient in using English as a language tool to meet the demands of development. Therefore, in the current teaching process, universities are increasingly adopting bilingual teaching models for core courses of various disciplines, and this has become a trend. In the process of bilingual teaching, both teachers and students encounter a large number of professional terms, and vocabulary issues often cause confusion for both parties, making bilingual classes resemble professional English reading classes or requiring students to spend a lot of time reviewing materials after class. If a highly targeted and clearly defined reference book were available, it would help improve the teaching effectiveness of bilingual courses. Based on the above reasons, we have compiled this dictionary, aiming to provide a practical reference for teachers and students of chemical engineering and chemical processing in higher education institutions. It strives to accurately express important concepts, operations, equipment, etc., in simple and clear English definitions for easy reference by teachers and students. This dictionary contains approximately 5,000 entries, covering the following content: chemical engineering unit operations, chemical transfer processes, chemical thermodynamics, chemical reaction engineering, chemical process design, inorganic chemical processes, organic chemical processes, chemical equipment, new technologies in chemical engineering, and a small number of basic terms from other disciplines that are directly related to this field. We hope this dictionary can serve as an auxiliary tool for bilingual teaching while also providing assistance to researchers and engineers working in this field.
