History of the Royal Chemical Society
Chemical society

The Chemical Society, located in London, was founded in 184 1 and obtained the Royal Charter in 1848. The Chemical Society is committed to promoting the development of the whole chemical science industry and society, and promoting the application of chemical science according to the requirements of the Royal Charter. After years of development, the Chemical Society has gradually become a leading chemical information dissemination organization in the field of chemistry, releasing research results in chemistry.

Analytical chemistry society

/kloc-in the 0/9th century, the chemical industry developed rapidly. In Britain, the development of inorganic salt industry, blasting, chemistry, agriculture and other chemical disciplines needs a large number of chemical analysts. At that time, many analytical chemists did not receive professional chemical training and lacked professional knowledge, which led to frequent food, water and drug pollution accidents. In this case, in order to promote the development of analytical chemistry, 1847 formally established a new academic institution-public analyst association. After continuous development, the association eventually became an analytical chemistry society.

Royal chemical society

The British Chemical Society was founded in 1877 and gradually developed into the Royal Chemical Society. The main role of the association is to promote the development of the chemical profession, formulate and implement the standards of chemists and chemical industry, and be responsible for issuing practice certificates. After nearly a century's development, Chemical Society and Chemical Society developed independently and complemented each other. As a professional certification body, the Chemical Society has nearly 30,000 members, and the Chemical Society is an academic group dedicated to promoting the development of chemical science with a strong publishing business. 1975, the government approved the Chemical Society to issue a chartered chemist certificate. 1848, Queen Victoria issued a royal charter, which was consistent with the needs of the institute. RSC has been committed to promoting the development of chemical science, spreading chemical knowledge and promoting chemical application activities.

The activities of RSC cover many fields of chemical science and career development. RSC supports chemistry education, is responsible for professional certification and sets industry standards. RSC organizes international or regional conferences, provides membership services and promotes international exchanges. RSC is also a professional publisher with world-renowned publishing level.

Over the years, RSC has participated in many international activities in the field of chemistry. The secretariats of the European Chemical Council and the European Association of Chemistry and Molecular Science are located in RSC.

Since the middle of19th century, RSC headquarters has been located in Burlington Building, Cody Street, central London. /kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, Count burlington III presided over the construction of the building. RSC has an office in Cambridge Science Park, located in Thomas Graham Building. 1989, the Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the building on behalf of the British royal family.
