17(~29) years ago, I worked  as  a pharmacist in all kinds of experiments of drug analysis at an institute for drug control. Such as GC, HPLC, UV,IR,etc. Titration is the basic experiment. We couple did many different samples. We used the formula TVF for granted. But  didn't think why.

12(~17) years ago, I worked as a senior engineer  in analysis at an environmental monitoring center.As a freshman in cross industry, I heard a lot about CODcr  and  CODmn. Although  use basic titration  method, accurately reporting data is not easy.But COD is not up to me, so  I igored it.

6(~12) years ago, I worked as a senior engineer  in quality control. The National skill competition  would hold.  CODmn was an event. As a ready competitor, I read the GB  11892-1989 carefully, and used  http://self.sinostd.com/  to find the new international standard ISO 8467-1993. When I once had a chance to watch the whole experiment process, I doubted about the complex formula in GB 11892. Maybe This was a  breakthrough point in my career? I was excited .

Many quiet nights, I thought and compared. At last,  we found the TVF  is more simple and  scientific avoiding concentration confusion. Then  the paper was born.

When I searched  for paper publishing,  Springer nature helped me and recommed Discover Chemistry for no charge.

Thanks to my family. Thanks to my colleagues and friends.

Chemistry in Action: Multidisciplinary Approaches in Current Research and Novel Applications

This topical collection aims to highlight the role of Chemistry in multidisciplinary cutting-edge research. Currently, the traditional and siloed research approach is inadequate to solve the complex global challenges. Therefore, a new paradigm of multidisciplinary research is emerging, proposing innovative solutions that address issues from multiple angles by integrating insights from different fields. We call for submissions of papers reporting original Research, Reviews, Perspectives, Comments, Brief Communications, Case Studies, Registered Reports, and Data Notes that integrate chemical concepts and techniques with other fields such as Biology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Physics, Engineering, Environmental Science, Materials Science, and Food Science, among others. This collection is particularly interested in, but not limited to, manuscripts that address:

• Development of new materials with tailored features for specific applications.

• Design and synthesis of molecules for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.

• Chemical approaches to clean generation and storage of energy.

• Sustainable chemical processes for environmental care and remediation.

• Integration of chemical principles with advanced engineering and fabrication

• Techniques.

Keywords: Materials chemistry, chemical synthesis, chemical engineering, sustainable chemistry, environmental sciences, biochemistry, pharmacy.
