The SARS-CoV-2 virus, promoter of COVID-19, already infected millions of people around the world, resulting in thousands of fatal victims. Facing this unprecedented crisis in human history, several research groups, industrial companies and governments have been spending efforts to develop vaccines and medications. People from distinct knowledge fields are doing their part in order to overcome this crisis. Chemical Engineers are also contributing in the development of actions to control the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, many chemical engineers still do not know how to use the knowledge acquired from Chemical Engineering school to collaborate in the fight against the COVID-19. In this context, the present paper aims to discuss several knowledge fields within the Chemical Engineering and correlated areas successfully applied to create innovative and effective solutions in the fight against the COVID-19.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）是新冠肺炎的病原体，已感染全球数百万人，导致数千人死亡。面对这一人类历史上前所未有的危机，多个研究团队、工业公司和政府一直在努力研发疫苗和药物。来自不同知识领域的人们都在尽自己的一份力量来克服这场危机。化学工程师也在为控制SARS-CoV-2病毒的行动开发中做出贡献。然而，许多化学工程师仍然不知道如何运用从化工院校学到的知识来参与抗击新冠肺炎的斗争。在此背景下，本文旨在探讨化学工程及相关领域内的几个知识领域，这些领域已成功应用于创造抗击新冠肺炎的创新有效解决方案。
