DESCRIPTION :

Dr. RK Dwari M. Tech is completed. In Chemical Engineering from NIT Rourkela in 2003. In 2005 he moved to Sweden under a SIDA and Kempestiftelsen Fellowship to do his PhD. (Technology) in Mineral Processing at Luleå University of Technology. He successfully defended and awarded his PhD degree in May 2008, less than three to three and a half years. He has been working as a scientist since July 2008 at the Ministry of Mineral Processing and Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (CSIR), Bhubaneswar, Orissa. Dr. Dwari addressed the major problem of removing inorganic from high-ash Indian non-coking coal using the tribo-electrostatic separator-dry process for his doctoral thesis. He successfully designed and developed a novel cylindrical fluidized bed tribo-charger, with internal rashes made of copper. He investigated to understand the charge characteristics of different ashes in the manufacture of minerals on three-electrification with materials of different work functions. They developed a new method to understand and determine the surface energetic composition of ash-forming mineral in coal in terms of acidity and / or basicity, before and after tri-electrification with different materials through contact angle measurement. is. Dr. Dwari is currently leading several projects on coal, iron, bauxite, barite processing.
