Research Contributions

I have carried out extensive and in-depth modeling work on complex coal and mineral

processing unit operations. These models are developed based on sound fundamental concepts

and they have strong industrial relevance too. The most significant aspect of my work is the

identification of many problems at their roots first and then providing solutions elegantly. Some

of my significant research outputs are mentioned hereunder:

1) Patented modified designs of spigot and vortex finder of hydrocyclone for performance

improvement.

2) A New Multi-product Hydrocyclone has been designed (Global patent has been filed

with Mr. Madan Mohanka, Chairman of Tega Industries Limited)

3) Development of a New Coal Washability Index

4) Development of a New Performance Index for Gravity Concentrators used in Coal

Washing

Page 21: Arun Kumar Majumder - iitkgp.ac.in

5) Modeling of Fish-hook Phenomenon in Hydrocyclones

6) Developed the First Phenomenological Model of Flowing Film Concentrators

7) Developed flow sheets for the beneficiation of low grade rock phosphate deposits of

Madhya Pradesh, India

8) Developed flow sheets for extracting potassium from glauconitic sandstone of Majhgaon

area of Madhya Pradesh, India

9) Proposed alternate routes of fine coal beneficiation of India

10) Developed flow sheets for the beneficiation of Narmada sand to a grade acceptable by the

steel foundries in Madhya Pradesh, India

I have also set up a new mineral engineering laboratory at the Department of Mining

Engineering of IIT, Kharagpur with major financial supports from a private industry. My

research group is at present known to the global community as one of the leading research

groups on hydrocyclone which is the heart of most of the mineral processing industries.

Page 22: Arun Kumar Majumder - iitkgp.ac.in

Taught various subjects like Principles of Extractive Metallurgy, Non-Ferrous Metallurgy, Iron

& Steel Making

At the Universities in France I had taught the subject Mineral Processing to their Undergraduate

and Post Graduate Students during the Month of December of the years 2011 and 2012

respectively.

Administrative Experience

(1) I am the Laboratory In-Charge (Mineral Engineering) since November, 2014 where my

responsibility is to maintain the existing facilities and to augment new facilities for the

research scholars and undergraduate students. I have single handedly developed this

laboratory based on the major funding received from a private industry through sponsored

projects.

(2) From August, 2020, I am the Faculty Advisor of 12 postgraduate students of the

Department of Mining Engineering. As a faculty advisor my responsibility iss to solve all

sorts of academic and personal problems of those students.

(3) I had been given the responsibility to be the Professor-in-Charge of the Transport &

Automobile Section of IIT, Kharagpur since June, 2015 for a period of three years. The

section has 36 vehicles of various types and there are 65 staff members including outsourced

personnel.

(4) From September, 2010 to April 2015, I was the Faculty Advisor of 79 undergraduate

students of the Department of Mining Engineering. As a faculty advisor my responsibility

was to solve all sorts of academic and personal problems of those students.

(5) I was also the Member, Departmental Academic Committee (PG & R) since April, 2016

where my job was to monitor the quality of research output of graduate students and to

propose new courses.
