HISTORY:
In 1961, in the framework of the Institute of General
and Inorganic Chemistry at the Bulgarian Academy
of Sciences, a Department for Mass Transfer Processes was created. It
represented the first Bulgarian specialised laboratory for chemical
engineering research. Twelve years later, in 1973, this Department was
transformed into an independent research unit of the BAS, acquiring the
name Central Laboratory of Chemical Engineering. By 1986 the latter
numbered a staff of 66 employees and it was considered appropriate to
convert it into Institute of Chemical Engineering.
From its foundation and up to 1989 the institute was headed by Prof. D.Elenkov,
D.Sc., Corresponding member of BAS, and that from 1989 till 1992 by Prof.L.Boyadzhiev,
D.Sc. The first specialised laboratories of the Institute were headed by
Prof. D.Elenkov, D.Sc., Corresponding member of BAS, Prof. L.Boyadzhiev,
D.Sc., Prof. Chr.Boyadjiev, D.Sc., Prof. N.Kolev, D.Sc.
