About

I am Rupali Jha, PhD Chemical Engineering, completed PhD in the field of high temperature resist Smart materials synthesis, some advanced category of zeolitic materials; Silicoaluminophosphate and Aluminophospate with different media and surfactant. This research project based on fuel quality upgradation at industrial process level by applying noble synthesis method of advanced structure type zeolite family material silicoaluminophosphate-11 by hydrothermal process. PhD entitled “Synthesis, characterization and Application of SAPO-11 for hydro-isomerization of n-Hexadecane.” This project was also belonging to fuel technology, material science and nanotechnology filed along with chemical engineering application.
Material synthesis conditions have optimized with some parameters for proper nano-crystal growth and large batch production. To investigate the physicochemical properties of Synthesized materials some characterizations techniques had applied. Synthesized material had used for catalysis process up-gradation which is helpful for petroleum refineries. The reaction has been taken place in high pressure catalytic microreactor, in which vapor-liquid phase reaction occurred and all data has recorded in automated microreactor. I have hands-on experience of GC-MS for operating and result analysing the product results. During the analysis part of reaction product of PhD work, the process has optimized with Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) data analysis of product from isomerization and hydrocracking process. In this process, Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy (FTIR), BET surface area (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), UV-Visible spectra-photometer (UV), Zeta Potential, Particle Size Analyzer have performed. Application of synthesized nano-crystalline one-dimensional SAPO-11 have impregnated with Nobel metal and applied in fixed bed catalytic micro-reactor to upgrade the petroleum refinery process via isomerization and FCC hydrocracking of long chain n-alkanes. The process has optimized with Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) data analysis of product from isomerization and hydrocracking process. I am also having exposure of operating some sophisticated instruments like GCMS, FTIR, XRD, SEM, AFM, photoluminescence, UV-Visible spectra-photometer (UV), Zeta Potential, Particle Size Analyzer etc. in different departments of my Institute. The synthesized material has characterized and analyzed with the help of different software like Fullproof Suit and Essential FTIR, X’pert high score, Origin, Excel, ImageJ, Design of Experiments.
With extended project “Noble Synthesis of Silicoaluminophosphate for Solar Energy Storage Smart Material”. This project supported by Madhya Pradesh Council of Science and Technology Bhopal under Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. I got awarded M. P. Young Scientist-2018. I got special funding to proceed this project with solar energy storage smart material synthesis and investigation of possibilities for device fabrication. Apart from these, with five peer reviewed publication and 10 international conference paper presentation with 4 book chapter and worked for zeolite study for different applications, many other projects like high temperature fixed bed catalytic pyrolysis of tire oil for sulphur and heavy metal removal, heterogeneous catalytic conversion of biodiesel, waste water treatment, gas phase analysis of volatile components from biogas and organic crops etc.
