National Chemical Laboratory

The National Chemical Laboratory for Industry (NCLl), Japan, has developed an integrated Spectral Database System (SDBS) which is available to users in Japan. AU spectra were deterrnined at NCLl under controUed conditions and are available on a PC/CD-ROM or magnetic tape. The system has both H-nmr (6000 compounds) and C-nmr spectra (5700 compounds), along with searching software. NCLl has also developed an integrated C— H-nmr system that can be used for two-dimensional data elucidation (70,71).

Effect of mass The rate of rusting of steel in the atmosphere is affected to some extent by the mass of the part concerned, because this determines the speed at which the surface temperature adjusts itself to fluctuations in the ambient temperature, the amount of condensation during humid periods, and the time during which dew or rain remains in contact with the steel. For example, in a test over 12 months at the National Chemical Laboratory under sheltered conditions outdoors, thick steel plates rusted more than thin ones as is shown below.

Enciforming [National Chemical reforming] A petroleum reforming process that converts pyrolysis gasoline to mixtures of propane, butane, and aromatic hydrocarbons, thereby obviating the usual hydrogenation and solvent extraction processes. The catalyst is a ZSM-5-type zeolite containing both iron and a platinum metal. Developed by the National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India, since 1988, but not yet commercialized. 

Midforming [Middle-range distillate forming] A process for converting lower olefins to transport fuels. The catalyst is either a ZSM-5-type zeolite in which some of the aluminum has been replaced by iron, or a hetero-poly acid. Developed in the 1980s by the National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India. To be piloted by Bharat Petrochemical Corporation, Bombay, and Davy Poweigas.

If the gel composition with template 3 is shifted to high or all silica, anew phase referred to as SSZ-31 is obtained (30-32). It should be noted that subsequently another zeolite known as NCL-1 (NCL = National Chemical Laboratory) was re-... 

Professor M. R. Maurya is currently heading the Department of Chemistry, IIT Roorkee. He has more than 26 years of teaching and research experience. He had worked in Loyola University of Chicago, USA, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA, National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, and Pune University Pune, before joining department of Chemistry at IIT Roorkee in 1996 and became full professor in 2008. His current area of research interests include structural and functional models of vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases, coordination polymers and their catalytic study, metal complexes encapsulated in zeolite cages and their catalytic study, polymer-anchored metal complexes and their catalytic study, and medicinal aspects of coordination compounds. So far, he has guided 21 doctoral and 7 Master s theses, co-authored more than 140 research papers in the international refereed journals.
