Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya is a professor in the Department of Mining Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology , Kharagpur , India. He was also the Head of School of Environmental Science and Engineering in the same institute.He was also a Visiting Professor to Curtin University, Australia.
Prof.Bhattacharya started his research in the area of mining equipment reliability engineering . He also started working the environmental engineering and management aspects of mining. Prof. Bhattacharya is a famous scientist in the area of environmental technology and management .He and his team developed a chemo-bioreactor for wastewater bioremediation and a Gravity Filter –among few others. Recently he and his students made pioneering contribution in the development of CaO,Ca (OH)2 and CaS nanoparticles for rapid precipitation and adsorption of in-soluble compounds from wastewater streams. These particles would find applications as catalyst, toxic waste remediation agent and absorbent –to name a few. He and his team developed and established a novel spectro-photometric method to measure Sulfate concentrations in the acidic/mining wastewater without Interference of mainly, arsenate and phosphate ions. A continuous theme of research by his team is to develop natural Carbon-Hydrogen-Nitrogen dosage supplements to support sustainable bacterial population in the wastewater remediation treatment. His works are published in the premier journals of wastewater engineering..
He is also an expert in the area of environmental clearance, land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement of people. He is an authority in the rules and regulations related to environmental and forest clearance of projects.He works as a consultant to a number of organisations on pollution and environmental governance matters. He has more than 150 papers in various national and international journals.His books & publications can be seen in Wide Educational Products and Services website
