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 'Waste to Wealth'?
Electronic waste commonly known as E-waste are waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), or end-of-life (EOL) electronic are the electronic appliances such as computers, laptops, TVs, DVD players, mobile phones, MP3 players etc. E-waste recycling is largely unregulated; frugal data are available to track its fate. Multiple studies have documented environmental and health effects of uncontrolled waste processing activities. The objective that we wish to study in the proposal is to find out and assess various recycling and recovery processes and practices, especially related to valuable materials in terms of its environmental and economic management. In order to develop a techno-economically feasible and environmental friendly process strategy, a combination of physical, chemical, metallurgical processes etc. are required for the recovery and recycling of valuable materials from E-waste.
For example, printed circuit board (PCB) is a key component in the electrical and electronic equipment assembles. PCB contain various metals such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), gold (Au), aluminium (Al), silver (Ag), palladium (Pd) and ferrous metals, which are often disposed as waste (known as electronic waste or E-waste). Therefore, there is a pressing need for a solution which addresses the limitations of current technologies and provides a cost-effective, efficient, safe eco-friendly and India-specific answers to this fast growing problem. Recovery of precious metals from PCB or similar electronic waste for safe disposal of E- waste will be one of the challenges addressed. The knowledge generated would be useful to other coast or inland centres where E-waste are dumped or processed.
