Ashish Dhirajlal Baldania

About

Dr. Ashish D. Baldania is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at L.D. College of Engineering (LDCE), Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from R.K. University, along with a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from DDIT, Nadiad, and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from G.H. Patel College, Sardar Patel University.

His teaching and research interests span carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), renewable and sustainable energy systems, zeolite-based adsorption, environmental pollution control, industrial waste management, and carbon-neutral process technologies. He has been actively involved in pilot-scale and demonstration-scale projects including CO₂-to-ethanol (blue ethanol) process development and value-added products from industrial solid wastes such as LD slag.

Dr. Baldania is the author of the book “Zeolite Chemistry and Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide to Catalysts and Adsorbents” and has published research papers, patents, and technical articles in the areas of green process design and sustainable materials. He also contributes as an editorial/section editor for journals in renewable energy and chemical engineering.

Alongside academics and research, he is actively engaged in student development, curriculum design, accreditation activities, industry-institute interaction, and consultancy and design of process equipment. He regularly mentors students in projects, internships, and innovation activities with a strong focus on environmental sustainability and practical industrial relevance.
