What and Why ‘Indus MAGIC’?

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research has proposed a research program entitled Indus MAGIC (Innovate, develop and up-scale MAGIC [modular, agile, intensified and continuous] processes and plants. This research program is formulated based on critical analysis and understanding of the needs of Indian specialty and fine chemical industry. Specialty/ fine chemical industry forms the backbone of industrial and agricultural development of India. Over the years, the industry has evolved from a basic chemical producer to knowledge intensive industry. The industry is exhibited for healthy growth in the years to come as it caters to several key applications required for maintaining and enhancing quality of life and is going to be increasingly important for developing economy like India. These new opportunities, the sheer magnitude of projected expansion and increasing demands on sustainability require tremendous research and technology inputs to support and to realize this expected growth. The Indus MAGIC research program is planned as a first step to meet these needs and to facilitate transformation of Indian specialty chemical industry. The Indus MAGIC project targets development of new ways of designing process equipment and their integration with process chemistry to realize atom efficient (creating less waste products per kg of desired product), environmentally benign and globally competitive processes. Under this program, catalysis, reaction engineering and new concepts in process equipment intensification will be used synergistically to provide effective and economic solutions which will catch up & overtake global benchmarks in quality, cost, environmental impact (reduce carbon and water footprints) and safety. The components of modular, agile, intensified and continuous (MAGIC) chemical plant facility will be established during the course of this project. Attempt will be made to use wireless technologies to develop new ways of designing reconfigurable plants. An industry consortium on process intensification (Indus CPI) will be established to facilitate translation of the benefits of research and developments being made under the Indus MAGIC program to practice. A unique Indus Scholar program is planned which involves large number of chemical engineering and/or process chemistry students for sensitizing them to MAGIC concepts and to harness their capacity for carrying out techno-economic analysis of MAGIC processes.

What and Why ‘Clean Coal Technologies (TapCoal)’?

India stands poised on the edge of significant growth in coal and power sector. As coal will continue to dominate the energy mix of the country a program with sensible and balanced objectives with proper emphasis to the various program elements and activities in tune with the national agenda is the need of the hour. Concerns on climate change has prompted global efforts on development of ‘Clean Coal Technologies’ which encompass broad areas of efficient energy extraction processes, capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide and its potential as chemical feedstock for making fuels and chemicals. In this perspective, the project on ‘Clean Coal Technologies – TapCoal’ addresses the above themes in an integrated manner with the collective strength of several CSIR laboratories. At CSIR-CSMCRI, the project would focus on the sequestration of CO2 by developing new adsorbents and value addition of CO2 to make useful specialty chemicals such as cyclic carbonates (both chiral and achiral) and commodity molecules, like HCOOH and phenol.

What and Why ‘Intelligent Coatings (IntelCOAT)’?

The importance of asset protection for achieving sustainable growth is undeniable. The next generation technology drivers for coatings are environmental concerns, efficiency, performance, nanostructuring, multifunctionality and economy. Among many materials using in coatings, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) find potential applications and are explored in recent times. Exfoliation or delamination of these materials into nano-sheets and stabilizing them in aqueous and organic dispersion is a real challenge. This work would involve methodologies for delamination of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different metal ions (Mg, Zn, Al, Cr, Co, Fe) into stable nano-sheet dispersion on large scale with various wt. % of solids. Thus obtained dispersions would be studied for coating applications on conventional man-made materials like wood, paint, metallic sheet, glass and ceramic materials for improved flame/fire retardant, anti-corrosive, and anti-reflective properties.
