Research opportunities
I am interested to collaborate for pursuing above research activities or students who are interested to pursue the PhD or dissertation in these areas, I am happy to invite you.
The following topics/projects are available for thesis /dissertation
1. Design a biorefinery for production of 2G ethanol with chemicals from Rice straw
2. Design and modelling of a continuous plug-flow reactor for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of organic wastes ( sewage sludge, food waste) for bio-oil production
3. Process Intensification of Post-combustion CO2 capture via Rotating Packed bed reactor
4. Design of swirling fluidised bed reactor for catalytic fast pyrolysis of rice straw using red mud
5. Design of multiphase reactor for CO2 conversion to light alkenes using metal supported red mud catalyst
6. Multi-scale modelling of chemical looping combustion of solid fuels using ilmenite as oxygen carrier
7. Process development of production of green hydrogen, green ammonia and green methanol processes
