Department Of Pure & Applied  Chemistry

Department  has focused upon the needs of industrial sectors for trained chemist for industrial processes and analysis.

The courses are designed on the basis of needs of different industries for trained chemists as well as to produce basic chemists, researchers and academicians with an in-depth knowledge of Inorganic, Organic and Physical chemistry.

5.     Chemical Analysis methods applicable in various industries.

6.     Synthesis using Microwave, Sonochemistry and Green chemistry concepts.

7.     Drug designing, Anti infective drugs and Chemotherapeutic agents.

8.     Role of catalyst in industrial synthetic processes.

9.     Instrumental techniques applicable for industrial analysis works.

10. Detail studies of glass and ceramic industries, mineral based chemicals, pulp, paper, soap and detergents, agro chemical industries [Urea, Calcium and Ammonium Nitrate, Ammonium sulphate, Single Super Phosphate, Murette of Potash, NPK UAP, DAP], Biofertilizers, Lubricants and Synthetic perfumes.

11. Petrochemicals, Synthetic gas, Polymer and Polymerization, Important Polymers and resin synthesis [polyolefins, vinyls, acrylics, polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, polycarbamates, fluorocarbons and unsaturated polyesters. 

Environmental -

Future programmes for Advance studies and Research :

1.     Research in the area of high capacity fuel with minimum pollutants.

2.     Improvement in grading of petrol and other petroleum products.

3.     Development of a common effluent treatment plant based on advance color removal techniques for dye houses.

4.     Development of low cost adsorbents such as fly ash, activated carbons etc for waste water treatment in industries.

5.     Reutilization of Stone slurry for making binding materials for construction as well as few other novel uses.

6.     Solid waste management in industries as well as city waste management.

7.     Techniques for water purification and reuse in industrial sectors.

8.     Development of natural pesticides and insecticides to replace non degradable highly harmful chemical pesticides and insecticides used in the present agricultural practice.

9.     Utilization of fly ash in some other novel ways such as development of catalyst used inorganic synthesis, as an adsorbent for removal of color from waste water of dye industries etc.

10.  Development and designing of anti-fertility drugs.

11.  Utilization of solar energy for waste treatment and color removal     from effluents of dye houses.

12. Develop diversified applications of green chemistry to find an   

      alternative to highly corrosive, harmful and waste generating chemical process. (Preliminary work has already been carried out in the area of generating low cost, environmental friendly chemical routes of synthesis).

Courses : 

Department organizes seminars, conferences, workshops, group discussions, case studies, case development top business stories, event management etc with a view to give exposure and enrich the subject knowledge of students. Opportunities of participation in Fests and events organized by different business schools and institutions is also a made available to the students to ensure their all round development.
