Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'chemical' (relating to chemistry or reactions) modifies 'process' (a sequence of steps or changes), yielding a process involving chemical changes. This modifier + noun pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Chemical process joins chemical (about substances) and process (a set of steps); imagine mixing vinegar and baking soda or dough turning into bread, where the materials change inside in their tiny parts. So, chemical process means 'a series of changes in what a substance is made of'.
