Brief description of the research areas
(i) Nano Technology: Preparation of different shape nanoparticles in surfactant-assisted media (mainly in reverse microemulsion). The preparation of different nanoparticles with controlled size/shape/functionality/material of construction is most important for many applications like catalyst, nanofluids, pharmaceuticals, biological applications (selective drug delivery, controlled drug released etc), electronics etc.
We are also interested to see the application of different shape nanoparticles in nano fluids as heat transfer fluids.
(ii) Environmental Applications of Surfactants: The area is mainly focused on surfactant enhanced soil and groundwater remediation. Recently contaminated soil and groundwater due to organic contaminants have become major environmental issue, since most of the countries used groundwater as a cheap source of drinking water. Recently, among the in situ treatment approaches, surfactant flushing has been recognized as one of the promising technologies. Fundamental studies on different surfactants adsorption on soil constituents, solubilization of organic contaminants in surfactant systems, partitioning of contaminants in soil and micellar phase, use of bio surfactants can enhanced the basic understanding of surfactant enhanced remediation (SER) process.
(iii) Surfactant Adsorption: Adsorption of surfactants at the solid-liquid interfaces is an important phenomenon in many practical applications of surfactant-assisted areas, such as, detergency, flotation of ore, oil recovery, and dispersions such as paints and pigments. In particular, the adsorption is a crucial step for removal of particulates and oily soils in detergency. The main focus of this is to study the adsorption behavior of different single and mixed surfactants, some special types of surfactants on different solid-liquid interface. In many industrial applications mixed surfactants are used because of better performance, less consumption and economically viable. Most of cases mixed surfactants systems are used after trial and error experiments. The selection of mixed surfactant systems will be easy when the fundamentals of the mixed system will be well explored. Also to study the effects of different parameters on adsorption.
Another part of this area is to characterize the adsorption behavior using Atomic Force Microscope. Atomic Force Microscope is the one of the modern instruments, which can generates molecular level picture of the adsorbed surfactant molecules on a solid surface. More over, the electrical interaction between the solid surface and the surfactant molecules also can be measured using the Atomic Force Microscope. The main objective of this part is to study the self-assembly of surfactants molecule on atomically smooth surfaces and to measure the electrical forces.
.
(iv) Surfactants in Mineral Beneficiation: In many cases, surfactants are used to produce high quality coal for power plant and other application by reducing ash level. Understanding of surface property of coal and mechanism of surfactant adsorption on coal surface can improve the surfactant enhanced coal beneficiation process, dewatering of coal. Recently, Govt. of India has announced to increase the iron production enormously (110 MT/Y) by 2019-2020. Whereas, reduction of alumina in Indian iron ore and utilization of iron ore slimes are major problem in iron ore processing industry. Use of surfactants may reduce the alumina in iron and also may increase the iron ore recovery from the slime. Use of surfactants can also reduce the viscosity of the slurry, which can be useful in slurry transport.
(v) Solution Properties of Mixed Surfactant Systems: Mixed surfactant systems are used in many applications due to their better performance and less consumption than the pure surfactants. The mixed surfactant systems always show synergistic behavior, resulting reduces the total amount of surfactant used in a particular application, which in turn thus reduces both cost and environmental impact. Due to the synergistic behavior, the physical properties of mixed surfactant systems such as CMC and interfacial tensions are often substantially lower than would be expected based on the properties of pure components. In general, for practical applications the mixtures of dissimilar surfactants are used. The mixtures of dissimilar surfactants show more non-ideal behavior is of both theoretical interest and practical importance.
