Research Contributions

Formulating and Enforcing Sound Environmental Policies for

Industrial and societal sustainability

As an active researcher with passion for developing technology solutions for

pollution control I have been guiding my group to be actively engaged in

addressing important pollution problems and developing modern methods for

mitigating them. We are also actively engaged in survey of air and other

pollutants to keep abreast with the current situation to tune the research

accordingly. A gist of our contributions over the years and future perspectives are

given below.

Air Pollution Control

Industries that contribute to economic development and helpful to human

beings, also load atmospheric air with dangerous pollutants such as SO2, CO2,

NOX and Mercury. The need for the study of atmospheric science is gaining

ground in the last three to four decades. Tropospheric O3 and related

photochemical oxidants are the most prevalent harmful air pollutants in many

industrialized and developing countries. Surface O3 has increased considerably

since pre-industrial times. Emissions of the above pollutants in the atmosphere

have increased steadily over the past five years. Measurement of atmospheric

pollutants, due to the urban agglomeration and tremendous increase in vehicular

population results in rise of various pollutant concentrations. In the Metropolitan


16

cities, there is an increase in the NOX, PAH concentrations, which react in the

atmosphere and form ozone concentration at the ground level.

We are actively studying the ozone level at different altitudes in the urban

agglomeration, to establish the mapping of ozone level in the entire city, which

will ultimately lead to the identification of the hot spots. The policy and the

strategy will be drawn based on the trouble shooting hot spots to mitigate the

ozone precursors. We are also contemplating to apply different air models, so as

to help the policy makers to draw a viable policy, to implement schemes in order

to safeguard environment and public health. Present research activity also

involves the study of gas phase pollutants and ozonolyses of olefins, particularly,

with respect to ozone chemistry and the studies of reactions of ozone with series

of olefins. These research findings are of direct relevance to the atmospheric

chemistry of alkenes and to their role in oxidant and aerosol formations. The

present study also focuses on the effect of temperature on the formation of

photochemical ozone, relevant to global warming.

Waste Water Treatment

Novel approach in textile effluent treatment has been developed by

continuous research in the field of waste water mitigation. The adsorption of

textile dyes using cheap lignocellulose substrates; kinetics and mass transfer

involved in the sorption process, modeling and simulation of solid/liquid

adsorption systems (by linear and non-linear method) were studied. Other

important research areas are removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution,

using polymeric resins and adsorption of organic compounds from aqueous

solution using mesoporous silicates and lignocellulose substrates. The adsorption

studies were internationally credited and cited in many articles. Some of the

significant studies are biosorption of malachite green, a cationic dye onto

Pithophora sp., fresh water algae and removal of Acid Violet 17 from aqueous

solution by adsorption onto activated carbon, prepared from sunflower seed hull

and removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution by using activated

carbon prepared from cashew nut shell.


17

Solid and Hazardous Waste Management

Under land pollution, research and development activities cover a broad

spectrum of possible renewable resources from solid waste management. Solid

waste management, especially with respect to its disposal and management is

being explored. Research article on production of biogas from municipal solid

waste with domestic sewage was widely cited in many journals and utilized for

commercialization. The significance of the work is in successful implementation

of anaerobic digestion as the method of waste treatment leading to the regional

utilization of renewable energy resources with site-specific application depending

upon local resources, energy requirements and costs. Another research finding

published in Applied Energy Journal entitled as “Thermophilic composting of

municipal solid waste” is also a significant contribution in the waste management

field.

Alternative fuels

There is an also ongoing research project in our research group on production

of Biodiesel from various non edible oils, kinetics, thermodynamic studies and

modelling in Biodiesel production. There are several non-edible oils from different

species such as Pungam (Pongamia pinnata), Jatropha (Jatropha curcas),

Pinnai, Karanja and Neem (Azadirachta indica) which could be utilized for

Biodiesel production processes. Modelling and kinetics of process parameters

such as methanol to oil ratio, catalyst loading and temperature were optimized

using Classical method and Response surface methodology (RSM).

The outcomes of sustained interest, research and study over several years have

resulted in the following recognitions at the state, national and global levels.

Future Perspectives

Today there is a global accreditation, comparison and ranking of universities

according to the outcomes. A major share of the evaluation score is for high

quality research globally recognized in prestigious journals and forums. This is

based on the presumption that only best research can support best education.

Such a development alone will help introduce application-oriented innovative

inter-, trans-, cross-disciplinary subjects and courses that’ll be rare to find and

make a mark on the quality of education.

Having contributed significantly with about 250 international publications from

a well-equipped research facility, I am keen to provide the University with

excellent research facility to perform advanced research. Only with research

exposure can students be made creative and innovative. Providing faculty and


41

student-friendly atmosphere and ecosystem to readily access quality research

will be my top priority in the futuristic development of education.

I am keen about participatory development of an institution right from students

to the administrative heads so that the products of the University are benefitted

the most. Having served the Sports Board of Anna University as Chairman,

Director and Centre for Entrepreneurship Development and served as HoD, Dean

and Registrar i/c, I am fully aware of the effectiveness of such an approach on

the basis that good health and mind will breed good development. However, to

achieve this, one has to be highly imaginative and inventive to get appropriate

resources. Funding is an important ingredient for this success. My ability to work

with various national funding agencies and obtain handsome grants will come

handy to propose the research potential of an institution and convince for major

funding.

Having spent long years on finding solutions for environmental issues on a

variety of pollutions and having written 6 books my particular emphasis will be

such that the education should be for societal relevance and environment

conscious. Very importantly the students, staff and faculty will be actively

involved in developing a green campus so that environmentally conscious world-

class model institution will be built collectively.
