Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Green chemistry

Design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances and waste; at an ABQ chemistry meeting this usually appears in sessions on solvents, catalysis, circular feedstocks, and metrics such as atom economy.

2

Catalysis

Acceleration of a chemical reaction by a substance that is not consumed in the overall process; exhibitors and academic groups often compare homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic systems for fine chemicals and energy applications.

3

Chemoinformatics

Use of computational methods to store, search, analyze, and model chemical structures and property data; relevant to AI-assisted discovery, database curation, and predictive toxicology discussions.

4

Medicinal chemistry

Chemistry focused on designing, synthesizing, and optimizing biologically active molecules for drug discovery; at a Brazilian chemistry congress it connects synthesis, pharmacology, and regulatory science.

5

Analytical chemistry

Measurement science covering separation, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and mass spectrometry; attendees look for methods that improve sensitivity, selectivity, throughput, and regulatory compliance.

6

Electrochemistry

Study of chemical processes involving electron transfer, including batteries, sensors, corrosion, and electrosynthesis; relevant to energy transition and green manufacturing sessions.

7

Materials chemistry

Design and characterization of inorganic, organic, hybrid, and nanostructured materials; application areas include energy storage, coatings, catalysis, and sensors.

8

Computational chemistry

Use of quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, and machine learning to model structures, reactions, and properties; often paired with experimental work in catalysis and drug discovery.

9

Chemometrics

Statistical and mathematical methods for extracting information from chemical data; useful for method validation, process monitoring, and spectral interpretation.

10

Flow chemistry

Performing reactions in continuous streams rather than batch vessels; discussed for improved safety, heat transfer, scalability, and reproducibility in process chemistry.

11

Process chemistry

Development of scalable, safe, and economical chemical routes from laboratory to pilot and production; connects academic synthesis with industrial manufacturing constraints.

12

Chemical education

Teaching and learning of chemistry at secondary and tertiary levels, including laboratory pedagogy, assessment, and outreach; a recurring track at Brazilian chemistry meetings.

13

Regulatory affairs

Management of compliance with chemical control, health, safety, and environmental rules; relevant to laboratories, manufacturers, and importers of reagents and instruments.

14

Life cycle assessment

Method for quantifying environmental impacts across a product's supply chain; used to compare chemical routes, materials, and packaging beyond a single process metric.

15

Sustainable chemistry

Broader framing that links green chemistry, circular economy, renewable feedstocks, and responsible sourcing; at this event it overlaps with catalysis, process intensification, and education.

16

Metabolomics

Large-scale measurement of small molecules in biological systems; relies on analytical platforms such as LC-MS and NMR and connects chemistry to health and environmental research.

17

Nanochemistry

Synthesis and study of materials at the nanometer scale, including nanoparticles, quantum dots, and nanocomposites; relevant to sensors, catalysis, and biomedical applications.
