Details

The Division of Chemical Technology was concerned with the application of chemical technology, engineering and biotechnology in utilising and processing natural resources such as forests, and residues from forest and agricultural industries, algae, water and waste water. Research areas included: Wood science, wood preservation, wood pulping, chemical and biosystems for producing chemicals and energy, and water purifying and recycling technologies.

From January 1988, the Division became known as Division of Forestry and Forest Products, with headquarters in Melbourne.

From 1 January 1991, forest products research and development became the responsibility of the new Division of Forest Products. At the same time, forestry research and development became part of a separate Division of Forestry, sited in Canberra.
