Revolutionizing Sustainability: IIT Kharagpur Scientists Unlock Graphene-Powered Solution for Effortless Oil-Water Separation

In a remarkable stride towards sustainable environmental solutions, researchers at IIT Kharagpur, led by Dr. Chirodeep Bakli, from Department of Energy Science and Engineering have developed an innovative technique for separating oil and water using ultra-thin, two-dimensional graphene channels. This cutting-edge method promises to transform the way industries tackle oil spills and water contamination, offering an energy-efficient alternative to conventional techniques. Graphene, a wonder material discovered in the early 21st century, has captivated scientists worldwide due to its extraordinary mechanical strength, atomic thinness, and excellent thermal and chemical stability. At the heart of this breakthrough is the exploitation of these…

Indigenous development of PSA technology based medical grade oxygen plant

Indigenous development of PSA technology based medical grade oxygen plant

In IIT Kharagpur’s assistance, Nektor Health Science System, Ahmedabad has developed an indigenous prototype plant for generation of medical grade oxygen. Globally, the shortage of medical oxygen has become a major challenge for treating COVID-19 patients. Considering the fact, in corroboration to IIT Kharagpur researcher, the highly experienced team of Nektor Health Science System, Ahmedabad, has developed an indigenous Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen manufacturing plant with required purity and pressure. “One of the best methods to generate oxygen with the purity level of 93% to 96% directly from compressed air is PSA technology, where the molecular sieve selectively adsorbs…
