2. Removal of toxic metal ions from ground water and industrial waste water.

Arsenic, lead, mercury ions exhibit toxic effect above concentration 500 ppb.

Iron ore slime contains Goethite nano-particle (FeOOH) which can adsorb toxic metal ions.

3. Reduction of surface moisture from iron ore classifier fines.

Surfactant molecules adsorb on the surface of classifier fines through polar end.

Non-polar end repels the polar water (moisture) molecules.

Project Topic: Studies on processed rock fiber reinforced polypropylene composites.

Supervisor: Dr. Bhabani K. Satapathy

Abstract: In this recent work, mechanical, thermal, morphological and rheological properties of rock

fiber reinforced polypropylene composites have been studied. PP matrix was mixed with maleicanhydride

grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) and rock fiber. PP-g-MA plays a role of compatiblizer and strengthened the

rock fiber-PP interphase. Morphology of the fracture surface of composites was observed by scanning electron

microscope (SEM). Maximum addition of 25 wt% of rock fiber into PP matrix improves the tensile strength

and modulus by 23.7% and 22% respectively. Furthermore, measurement of crystallinity by X-Ray diffraction

(XRD) shows an effect of fiber content on overall crystallinity of the composites keeping the d-spacing

unaltered.

Project Topic: Transition Metal –Free Benzylic C-H Oxidation by using a Combination of BDMS

and hydrogen peroxide

Supervisor: Prof. A.T. Khan; Duration: May 2009 to June 2009 (2 months)

Abstract: Wide variety of cycloalkylarenes were selectively oxidized at the benzylic position into their

corresponding ketones in good yields on treatment with BDMS (bromodimethyl sulfonium bromide) and

30% hydrogen peroxide in DCM at room temperature. The formation of products were monitored by thin

layer chromatography (TLC) and separated by column chromatography. Finally, synthesis of expected

cycloalkylarenes was confirmed by IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR and

13C-NMR.

Project Topic: Three component one pot syntheses of β-amino ketones catalyzed by Lanthanum Triflate

Supervisor: Dr. D. D. Pathak; Duration: January 2010 to May 2010 (5months)

Abstract: A wide variety of β-amino ketone can be synthesized from a combination of acetophenone,

arylaldehyde and arylamine in dichloromethane using lanthanum triflate as catalyst in inert gas atmosphere.

Three reactants were introduced in 1:1:1 ratio and 1mol% of lanthanum triflates added for catalytic activity.

Inert atmosphere was achieved by using nitrogen. A 65% to70% yield was obtained. Reaction mechanism

follows the Mannich type reaction path and β-amino ketones were characterized by Mass Spectroscopy .
